Tutorials on editing Napoleonic .scn files

[tobruck41]

Hello,

Any tutorials on understanding the txt data on JTS Napoleonic .scn and NIR .scn files?

I am trying to play around with a scenario in Napoleon in Russia.  I am not talking about using the Scenario Editor.

I have a copy of the NIR Fletches scenario, and can edit it in a .txt editor.
I also, of course, have the Borodino .scn files and can edit them in a .txt editor.

My copy of NIR got left in Canada when I moved back down to the States over a decade ago.

Basically I want to port the units in the NIR .scn file to the WDS game and then work on improving/changing the scenario using the editor.


They are somewhat different.  I'd like to know if anyone can explain or point me to any tutorials/write ups on what the data fields mean, by line, etc.

There are no beginning/end statements, just the raw data.  


I am not a programmer but am an old I.T., former engineering tech and I've seen a lot of programming, data fields, etc.  Which I used to have to troubleshoot, usually on my own.  With some help I might be able to figure it out from there.

Thanking you in advance!
