Erpe Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Hi! I finally put together my little editor mod that allows you to set a placement formation for ground units. Currently there are the following presets: Line Rectangle Circle Star Scattered (randomly place units around) Vee Echelon Left Echelon Right The start formation placement can be chosen below the heading input in the editor to the right. Download: I put together a ovgme repository also containing the warhead mod here: http://dcs.oldsch00l.com/mods.xml Or directly download it here: http://dcs.oldsch00l.com/erpes_editor_enhancements.zip Attached are a few sample screenshots of the formations. As a note ED is totally allowed to integrate my modifications in DCS World, even without giving me any credit. :smilewink: Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erpe Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks a lot, would it be possible to add a spacing value between units selection ? Yes it would be possible, you can already rather easily change the default value in the me_vehicles.lua, line 572. The thing I didn't put it in yet is I have no clue where I should put the input field. I rather don't want to rearrange the whole dialog, as this will make maintaining the mod a lot harder. Maybe I could put it below the initial checkbox. I will have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erpe Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) I updated the mod to work with the latest versions of DCS and also added a input field to change the distance. Edited October 2, 2017 by Erpe typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erpe Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 Could this mod work with aircraft formations as well? No, this is just for easier initial setup of ground unit positions, once they start to move they will follow ED's formation rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
