and in the file B101mrc.arm choosen in the 1pbat folder (iam not sure if the second must to)

after that i download the btb editor but i doesn´t now how to create the start point and in which "chunk" or "subchunk"
list i have to got to write down the "unique unit id"

Hi

check out my guide to adding new units

Don't add new units to the files in 1pbat.
The game expects a fixed size for this file and it will crash or not work. Same applies for savegames.

@ olly : how can i use this converter? i downloaded the "programm "which have two files btbxml.py and xmlbtb.py and i can only open these files with the editor and on that point i doesnt now what have i to do.

[olly]

Copy btbxml.py and xmlbtb.py into a 1pbat\B1_01 and install Python 2.6 and then right click on btbxml.py and Edit with IDLE



Change the Map name to B1_01 or whatever mission you want to edit




Run -> Run Module



It will create an out.xml file for you to edit and then recompile back into a BTB file using xmlbtb.py





Also examine the Dark Omen 2 mod template B6_01 which is a copy of B1_01 but I have added more starting units
