Ummm, this is great stuff but I have a question.

From Willy's' readme' file in the 'trainsnconcovys.zip' download:

Put the File folder in your IL2 1946 root directory and allow overwrite if asked

add the following line to your filelist text

com/maddox/il2/objects/chief.ini


You will now find a new train, "Germany_CargoTrainLong", a two new vehicle convoys "GermanyCarsColumnG" and "RussianCarsColumnG

If you open the file "Cheifs.ini" with a text editor and study it it should be quite obvious how to make changes.

Where would I put this now?
It's my understanding that the fileslist.txt is now no longer needed with the use of the wrapper.dll

I do have a "files" folder in my root directory. Do I just make a "com/maddox/il2/objects" folder inside it and add the .ini file there?

Thanks in advance for any help.

EDIT: I just unzipped the file and I have a "Files" folder that appears to have everything in it. Now in my current "files" folder I have the Stuka Wheel Mod. Can I retain it as well? When I try and place the "Files" folder in the root it wants to overwrite the "files" folder. I'm assuming that by placing this folder the wrapper.dll takes care of the "add to the fileslist.txt" business.

Sorry if this is a n00b question. I'm just trying to learn all the ins and outs without making any drastic mistakes.

Thanks again in advance for any help.

BB, don't worry about overwriting...
alternatively you can place the chiefs.ini in
il2root/mods/com/maddox/il2/objects/
Not sure maybe you allready have some mod installed, wihich placed already a cheif.ini in your mods or files folder? Do first a search, maybe you already have a cheif.ini somehwere in the mods folder or fles folder? If you already have a cheifs.ini just make sure everything you do you keep only ONE chiefs.ini in your game.

Thanks for the tip my friend.

Well I do have a mod pack installed, xx edited by fly_zo (I know, please don't beat me more, I know it's frowned upon here to have done that) so I will need to do some exploring. I've packed a lunch and made sure the sled dogs have enough food. I'll go out and see what I can find.

do not mention suspicious mod packs from other sites here, cos that only brings confusion to new members

.... maybe we are "odd little community " but we are still concerned about our not so experienced members .

OK, I have the following in my "com\maddox\il2\objects\chief.ini file:

"Germany_CargoTrainLong"
"GermanyCarsColumnG"
"RussianCarsColumnG"

but they do not appear in my "Vehicles" or "Trains" list in the FMB.
All of the above have a "component list", i.e. the objects that make up the column(s) or train, in the chief.ini file.

Is there something else I need to do? (And yes, I have the mod enabled)

these new vehicle columns (or trains) ...appear twice in the Chiefs.ini
once near the top ...where the column is added to the list

GermanyCarsColumnG ai.ground.ChiefGround 2 icons/car.mat


and once near the bottom...where the make-up of the column is detailed
