I've tested the WW2 mod and it is working well with the release of version 18.

So, a few changes to the mod to bring it up to running smoothly.

1. The WW2 AI DLL file is no longer required atm.

2. Create a generals text, perhaps call it WW2Generals.txt and put it into your EDCE loadpoint unknown folder, you will see a RandomGenerals.txt already there.

In the newly created WW2Generals text file copy and paste this into it.

3. Change your AI DLL to Enhanced DLL and add the various WW2 Intermediate scripts as per usual.

4. While in this interface look for the add Random general button it will be below the ignore drain button,  click on it and load file - the game engine will put you into the unknown folder where your WW2Generals.txt should have been copied in step 2 above.  Each AI you want to have a random generals name must follow the same steps as mentioned earlier in this step 4.


Now I may have forgotten the wording of buttons in step 4 - So there should be 4 options available to you. Skip the first - but 2nd  button should be which ww2 Intermediate AI script to load and 4th button should be random General names.


Addenda:

There have been updates to the database, AI Scripts and hopefully a little dll addition to spice things up.

I will release when it all comes together..


If you have no idea what I'm talking about text away.
