Changing existent OOBs

[Marquês de Alorna]

I've just tried to build a new OOB using an existing one as the basis. I have copied the OOB to another file, but then the editor only gave me the option to delete, or to create new corps. There was to option to generate new units. Is this behavior normal or is it a bug?

As far as I know, there's no way to generate a unit that doesn't already exist.  I've searched the files but have been unable to find where the basic unit info is stored.

One thing you can possibly do is use an existing unit, then change the stats and uniforms.  Changing the uniforms is not trivial.  Check with the guys who have added the British army troops.

Funny... Once I delete a unit, the option "New Unit" appears. This is definitely a bug.

It happens for Wagram, but not for the Austerlitz OOB...

It seems the problem is the limit which is 100 for the units (regiment), maybe the limit of CEH.
After deleting an unit, you can get a new slot to add a new unit...

Hi, Antonio.

If u don't want to cancel an existing unit, try to modify, when u are opening an OOB, the CEH value. You will see u can add units without deleting the existing ones. If u want, u can also: save all, and when u reopen it, re-establish the same CEH (no modifications; the OOB will be the same you have saved).
For the OOB of La Corogne , first version, in the Peninsular Mod we are preparing, I've done so, and this has allowed me to build a OOB without Corps but only Divisions; modifying the initial CEH value I've added as many units as I wanted, and even of great quality like Guards, without the constription to create a new Corps or Division or to delete a unit.

Bye
