Historical Unit Library Editor

Basics

Allows you to create Subunits, Historical Model units, historical units. You can also create people's here. Like for example: Romanian, SS, Militia, Polish, etc.. And associate them with a historical unit or model. You need to import a trooptype library in order to create your TOEs.

Technical Details

Importing a new trooptype library

If already present one with the same name a reload is attempted. Otherwise a new library will be added.

Upon start up

It uses the latest masterfile as specified in the modfile used at game startup.

Loading a historical lib here

Loads whole file and overrules any masterfile info. (but it does not need this info anyway)

Saving a historical lib here

Everything is saved, no masterfile reference given.
