I wanted to add some Conquest units to a scenario. I added the Light Tank from the WW2 Pacific scenario to start with.
After I open the WW2 in the Pacific folder I get two others an Art folder and a Text folder. I open the Art folder and find the Units folder, in it I find the Light Tank so I copy this folder and paste it in to the units folder of the in the scenario of my choise.
Time to copy and paste some more. I went back to the WW2 pacific folder and this time I opened the Text folder and there are TWO files in here that we need to copy from, the Civilopedia file and the PediaIcons file.
First we will look in the Civilopedia file to find the PRTO for the Light Tank, its under MECHANIZED UNITS I copy that.
#PRTO_Light_Tank

^[Light tanks] are fast-moving offensive units that can [attack multiple times] in a single turn and [withdraw]
from combat if they are losing (unless fighting another fast unit, of course).
^
^A city must have both $LINK<oil=GOOD_Oil> and $LINK<rubber=GOOD_Rubber> in its
$LINK<Strategic Resource=GCON_ResourcesS> box to build a Light Tank.

^During WWII, the Pacific theatre proportionally saw more light tanks in combat than $LINK<medium=PRTO_Tank>
or heavy models. This was no doubt due in large part to the lower ground pressure of the light tank compared to
its heavier brethren (thus less chance of bogging in soft terrain), and to the relative ease of transporting the
smaller, lighter vehicles on transport ships and amphibious landing vehicles. Light tanks had thinner armor than
medium tanks, and their guns were generally of smaller size. The U.S. supplied both their own and Commonwealth
troops with many hundreds of light tanks (models M3 and M5, both with a 37mm main gun). On the other side, the
most common Japanese light tank during WWII was the Type 95 "Ha Go" (also sporting a 37mm main gun), which saw
its first action with the Kwantung Army during 1937 in China.
I go back to the scenario that we added the Light Tank unit file to. We find the Civilopedia file the same way as before and paste what was copied in to this Civilopedia, just go paste it with the other units. I put it just before the Tank.
Now back to the WW2 Pacific folder we open the Text folder again and locate the PediaIcons file. Once open we will need to copy two things the
#ICON_PRTO_Light_Tank
art\civilopedia\icons\units\x2_LightTank civpedia lg.pcx
art\civilopedia\icons\units\x2_LightTank civpedia sm.pcx
and
#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Light_Tank
Light Tank
After we copy these two things and paste them in to the PediaIcons file (in their correct spots)in the scenario that we have been pasting other things, we should be able to add the unit in the editor and then give it an in game test. Did I miss anything?
