Changing all minimum production dates

[mroyer]

Is there a way to change all the minimum production dates for all unit types for all nations in one go? I pray I don't have to do it one at a time for each nation!!

Hi Mark

There is a work around to this, and IIRC (as it's been about a year since I did it) the solution is to export data from the campaign. To do this go to File -> Export Data, creating a new folder for this data to go into.

Import it into a new campaign - all it needs to have is a map of the same size and to have the earlier start data already set.

When you import the data, import all fields EXCEPT for the Production Date Data (this appears half way down the middle column).

Then check it has worked!

Hi Bill - I can't get this to work, I started creating a new campaign and one of the first things I did was put in a start date of 10-31-1495. I noticed that the production dates were all still set to 9-1-1939 [except in the Production Que which did set itself to 10-31-1495. So I tried the above posted steps and they made no change.
I am using WaW v1.07 but I didn't post over there as it doesn't seem much is happening there. Is WaW currently in Beta ? I can't remember.

Hi Steve, I'll have a think.

World at War is still in beta and there's a lot going on in the beta forum. The main forum has of course yet to catch light, but that's fine as beta feedback is keeping us very busy. [:)]

I am also interested int his one. I have a date that is not in any way historical (a fantasy campaign) and have had to change the date manually - still working through the 'countries'. I just went through the steps above and they worked! Great stuff. I must have been doing something wrong the first time I tried.

Cheers

Ok, I think I skipped the Beta for WaW because of limited time and my lack of Pacific knowledge. Maybe I should get in there now so I can aggravate you guys about obscure editor things like this!
