Wargame 1985 Demastered
Hello there,
This is a personal project I started some days ago for personal use. I was curious and wanted to see how the modding suite worked.
What does this mod do?
I never was not a big fan of Eugen pushing putting the time frame to 1995, so I wanted to create a mod that changed unit and model to give an older flavour, while keeping it multiplayer compatible.
Note: tried it with a friend who was in vanilla, had a desync only once.
Note of 08/07/2019: after extensive test, the mod does desync with vanilla player, sorry for the inconvenience, im working on a solution.
11/07/19 Renaming unit is fixed, the model swap still cause desync, you can still put the swapped model if you want.

Here is a list of change/exemple

Spoiler : :

Some unit names are inspired by the excellent Wargame 1991 mod

If you have any idea for names/change don’t hesitate and propose!

[Mister Maf]

This is pretty neat, actually.

Thanks for the credit and checking out our mod! I think Eukie is probably also writing a post since I can see her online, but I can tell you that the SBSz are 1 Samodzielny Batalion Szturmowy, the correct name in the time period for the Komandosi.

Thanks for the information Frangible, I changed the name of the Kommandosi for the update. And yeah, your mod is really cool!

[NATO General]

Screwed up a little with my mod,
After more test I found out that it caused desync in multiplayer, so I transformed it as “reskin” with a skin installer.
Right now the unit renaming work perfectly in multiplayer,
I changed/added more:

Sadly, models swap seems to desync the game. Unlike what The W:AB Noob said in one of his message (The message being from 2015 I guess things changed a lot since.)
Do any of you have an idea how i could swap the model while the game is still playable in multi with vanilla players?

Whoops, I guess I was wrong. I thought model swap wouldn't break compatibility.
