Mexican OOB?

Akmatov · #1 May 20th, 2009, 01:07 PM

Given the situation in Mexico, wondering if anyone might be thinking about a Mexican OOB? Also, several good scenarios in Coyle's book.

You can just use the Green OOB and "capture" whatever equipment you need.

But until somebody actually makes a mexican OOB (Thatdude mentioned he was thinking about making one) you won't be able to use mexican made weapons.

Not that I've ever looked into Mexico's TO&E...but they actually make military weapons/hardware? I though they bought it all.

The attached is a quick stab at Mexico in the Green OOB.

- make a sub folder for the OOB swapper as described in the Game Guide, and unzip to there. Dont overwrite the default green oob!
- Then use the OOB swapper utility to swap the official green or Mexican green as required.

OOB is unsupported - anyone who feels like it can take it further.

Wow thanks Mobhack

! How about making Mexican flags (into battle.shp and small ones for units/v-flags) too?

I don't do art - me programmer.

And I realised just now I had not got round to the fortifications - so if someone feels like it, then a few bunkers and the formation need doing

I tried an AI pick or 2 and it seems OK as an opponent. (One reason the armoured cars are in the tank and armoured cars formations - AI pick - slightly different loads, and the cavalry get an experience hike too)

NB - there were only 25 each of M4 and M3 apparently. So a 10 tank company seems to be fine for Mexico.

Here are some shp files. I put this together a while back.. The only issue was that on the map the flags show up a bit offset. I wasn't able to figure out why but the vehicle and the main screen look ok.
