Duke Falcon's E-files - links in the 1.st post!

OK...

I decided to move\convert Modern Warfare from PeG to OG. I converted the equipment, fixed the dates\availability stuffs and started to reset the sounds for the units. Rearrange some units among classes were necessary because PeG handled aircrafts differently.
I strongly hope that converting the scenarion and campaigns would be easy and swift but I know that some units need manual reset (transports also handled differently in PeG thus transported units would need some "extra love").
I wonder if in case of maps the s16 files are necessary to convert into jpg or enough the mapx file (does it contain the map image?)...
This is my first conversion project so I mostly go blind following a "tried-and-died" pattern...

I think that is all for now...

mapx file (does it contain the map image?)

No, the mapx file does not contain the map picture!

New year and I am back to work on ModWar to OG conversion...
And I decided to add some new scenarios and units for it. Ukrano-russo war provides lots of new stand alone scenario ideas like escalated frontiers (lots'o'nationz versus lots'o'nationz on huge 5000x5000 pixels map!)...
I hope around the end of winter I could share a demo from the Modern Warfare E-file. I am positive about it because lately I feel myself really alive and full of energy what is a very good thing.

That is good to hear! I wish you a fruitful new year!

One of these days you may not even need to create your own "what if it escalates" scenarios...
But until then there's plenty of room for speculation.

So far 3 campaigns converted from PeG Modern Warfare to OG version.
Pffff... Not as easy as I thought to convert all those stuffs Literally all scenarios need to fix manually because some attributes (fuel for planes) are miss (hah, looks good when crash at the end of turn!).

Campaigns and scenarios are seems playable (not tested as heavily though just swift-checked).
Need to master a new music for the e-file... Mayhaps some C&C gold themes would be nicely fitting, dunno...

Still working on the first 5000x5000 map picture for the e-file (hunh, well restarted it the third time to be honest).

Would add lots of new units during this week for the equipment like: BREM 4K, Giatsint B, Iskander and a polish stealth tank (saw a nice concept when surfed Google), new infantry for Ukraine and elite versions for Russia (+blue berrets)...

Most is too modern/rhytmic/artificial for me. As campaign background music... maybe.

Pop wave. Maybe not the best choice for the job.

Patriotic mix.

1st and 4th links may stand some chance as background music, although for the purpose here... I do not know.
Seems more like the complete antithesis of war...

Okay, first the link:

This is the DEMO of the Modern Warfare's conversion from PeG to OG.
Far from perfect but since I would have a hard time coming (yeah, things seems to love turn upside-down when you think you passed the worst) I thought I share this for sure...

Known bugs\issues:
Units seems to start 0 fuel and half ammunition (bad conversion from PeG?) <= While I manually reset the air units to prevent them crash the other units not fixed (ships may also have trouble 'cause of this). Not sure if there is a way to batch-fix this instead of unit-after-unit but when I could I fix this!
Sometimes an error log generated about an unit not exists even the original PeG equipment <= Hunh? Have no clue 'bout this nor have any idea how to fix this if it need to be fixed (most probably not)...
Music sometimes go astray <= I would change the old music completely so IF it not cause you crashes I think mute would solve this...

If one may find any other bugs, please, let me know! I also think all alpha-channel issues are solved within the e-file but if not, let that me know to!
THANKS!

Had a Brexit War started.
Royal Navy did not budge a single hex.
Aircraft did move and the French did send two Fighters to destroy one British Bomber.
In my second go I downed the two and bombed three French ships.
I also managed to Embark a ground unit and move it, contrary to the ships...

[peedee]

To Duke Falcon:
Hello here is the solution for fuel and ammo problem. Start Suite. Load the Campaign. In the Register click Campaign. A window opens, scroll down to Reset Fuel to all units in campaign, Click on it, OK. Scroll down for Reset Ammo to all units in campaign.

To Bombast:
The ships don't move, because they had no fuel. Solution see above.

[Duke Falcon]

@PeeDee
Thanks! I would run the process through when I could (perhaps it works even for scenarios).

@Bombast
I listed it among the known issues but I fixed only the aircrafts in a haste because 0 fuel in their case is... Sensitive?

Otherwise I would really fix the issues I know or would be found. Not in the next two weeks nor sure when. Have some troubles I need to survive in an adequate shape and condition before I give a run again this conversion thing.

[Duke Falcon]

OK.

I again work on the conversion to Modern Warfare to PeG. Thanks for PeeDee I could easily fix the fuel "bug" of the conversion!
Some new maps for stand-alone scenarios are also under making. Not plan any new campaign now but if I finish quickly with the conversion a 4-6 scenarios ukraine campaign may be a candidate to add...

[Duke Falcon]

Okay, conversion is finished!
Here is the Modern Warfare's OG-ported version:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/lr7ibgb3 ... r.zip/file

Now time to add new units, scenarios and an ukraine mini-campaign to the e-file...

KNOWN ISSUES:
Leaders! Converting them from Peg is stupid. When try to change them the Suite freeze or crash. Game seemingly handle them well so far but unsure still...
If any trouble may occur let me know and try to fix it (if possible)!

[Duke Falcon]

Okay, Modern Warfare E-file now have it's own download section in the FIRST POST!

Check it!

Modern Warfare e-file is upgraded&updated!

Unitpaedia is done, even for the near 50 new units added to the roosters.
It have 10 campaign (latest is the Ukraine one with 7 scenario) mostly based on fictional events (hope so, see main post).
9 stand-alone scenarios, I recommend SAS8 & SAS9 to try! "8" is a huge 5000x5000 pixels map with lots of scenario-exclusive units, the "9" is a good match of themes (listen the music and you would not miss the culture reference).

Glitches may still exists albeit tried to exterminate as many as I could. Not in the shape to progress swiftly, sorry!
+ Not promise any new campaigns in the foreseeable future. Sorry...

A part may be based on future events...
One thing about the future is that it tends to partially repeat the past.
We've already seen we got another "poker" player that likes to play for empires like old uncle Adolf.
For that one to get quiet it took the destruction of a great part of Europe, not counting the rest.
I'm not seeing much reason not to see that basic model repeated one of these days: just not all the details will match, of course.
One detail that matches closely is that while most of Europe is hoping it does not happen the "poker" player spent decades injecting hatred, contempt, imperialism and racism on his people. Not all of them bought it but unfortunately they are a minority.
So, at this point I'm just waiting to see when will it be, the "next step on the accelerator"...
