Editing Units Release Dates ? - Fog of War - 08-10-2015

I know this is somewhere in the PzC files, but where I`m lost. I`m trying to edit the release time/dates of some of the fixed SS units around Arnhem in a AI game using the full Campaign Game scenario..02S to see if I can get to a more historical outcome.

I love tinkering with the great older titles for my play VS the AI.

Any idea where those are located in the files ?

Thanks in advance !

RE: Editing Units Release Dates ? - Ricky B - 08-10-2015

I wrote an editor for the scenarios many many years ago that displayed releases and allowed them to be changed. But the overall format of the scenario files has changed enough by now that although it can still display the info, saving changes is problematic and can corrupt the scenario.

So to do it manually, there are entries that look like this:

1 122 41 104311 32 32 156 0 0 64 0

The 122 41 is the hex location of the unit you want to change the status of, and the 64 is the fixed status, I think. Change it to 0 and I believe you will be good. Alternatively, just as easy to me would be to simply go to the unit in the scenario editor, view-delete releases, delete the entry for the unit and then set the release date over again.
