Data Files Help

[zaxhutchinson]

Thanks Warhorse. That connection I understand between .btl and .oob. I'm trying to connect nations to sides in a scenario. Let me rephrase the question:

Let's say I'm playing as the Axis in a title/scenario with Italian, German and Soviet units. How does the engine determine I should see Italian and German units, but not Soviet units? Do the data files contain a list of nations that belong to the Axis (or a particular side)? Or is this hard-coded into the engine?

Playing around with the oobeditor, my guess is that it's hard-coded (or at least hard-coded in the oobeditor). This is based on the fact that you can't, say, add a historically Allied nation to an Axis formation (and vice versa). Which means that each PzC title has its own list of nations for each side.
