It's really not evident from looking at them They are the data files for all of the parameter values within the game. When you open an editor, all of the values you see are stored in the DAT files. Lethality, penetration, all of the weapon and terrain parameters, etc. RE: DAT files? - chrisp - 06-22-2017 (06-22-2017, 04:32 AM)TheBigRedOne Wrote:(06-21-2017, 05:24 AM)chrisp Wrote: I can't seem to find it here.

Like units.dat which has a series of numbers in it. The numbers in units.dat seem to match the pictures in units.bmp in some way. RE: DAT files? - Jeff Conner - 06-25-2017 If I remember correctly the units.dat file is used to match an image with the proper nationality. Each nationality (US Army, US Airborne, SS, Whermacht, etc) has an assigned number and I might have a list of them somewhere if you are interested.

RE: DAT files? - Jeff Conner - 06-26-2017 I found an old Word document on editing Squad Battles. I need to contact JTS and see if it is a privileged document, but if you want a copy, send me an email. Jeff |
