It struck me, however, that not everyone is willing to undertake the amount of editing required, nor to learn the process of edit/csv/compile needed to use the database.
So, to help, attached is an easy install file that will implement Stwa's excellent work.
[color="Red"]Install only after installing patch 1.13[/color]
To install:
- Download the attached file [Stwa's Fix.zip] and extract
- Make a backup of the BoA\GameData\Models folder
- Make a backup of the BoA\GameData\Units folder
- Run the installer [be sure it pints to your installed directory]
{Note, if you don't like to, (or forgot to ) copy folders, you can uninstall this 'mini-patch' only by uninstallng BoA and reinstallng it}
Technical Note to modders who use the DB:
Unfortunately, I am unable to provide a 'HotFix' type fileset [JSGME compatible, or install via simple copy], as the method of editing the DB => csv => compile will create CTD due to creation of 'Duplicate UID' models and units. This issue is a result of upgrades to the csv splitter, so it no longer processes 'special characters' in filenames, which results in duplicates with slightly different filenames.
The DB files for these changes are also attached [Stwa's Fix DB.zip]
Have fun!
