Re: How can I plan a move in the mission editor?

It's not possible to plan paths for units that are in their transports.

If you want infantry to move to forest or buildings for cover after they have been unloaded you can use the Defend command. The Pathfind SOP should be set to 'covered', and Formation can be 'free'.

Re: Issue with mouse position (Setup/LOS)

The issue is that on your AMD system the LOS and other graphics are rendered in wrong spots. As a potential solution I have now implemented a different way of rendering them, and it will be included in the next patch. Hopefully that fixes the issue.

Re: Rename units and re-order OOB

Units can be renamed in the unit specs window (press the Enter key when a unit is selected).

You can use a text editor to edit formation names in the scenario.xml file after you've saved a scenario.

Re: I have a Qustion about units fighting

Even when there is a line of sight between units they don't always spot each other. There are many factors that affect the chance of spotting something. When an enemy unit is 'known' but not yet 'seen' by a unit (each unit tracks its own sightings individually), meaning that friendly units have shar...

Re: How to call a new database in steam version

AB2 reads custom databases in "Documents\My Games\Armored Brigade 2\data\database".

Also custom maps, scenarios, and campaigns should be in Documents.

If you have a link broken/missing in the .pdf version, it should work in the forum thread version.

Re: Shift W display all waypoints

If WASD scrolling is enabled then Shift+W is used for the camera fast forward movement.

Waypoints can be toggled in the options menu. Custom keybinds are a planned feature.

Do you remember what was going on in the software when "ERROR: This application requires OpenGL 2.0 or above..." appeared? Did you see it on screen?

Can you send your data\database\default\ammunition.xml file from the game installation folder to me?

You mentioned the resources_custom_3d.xml file when talking about a unit list and IDs. Do you mean the units.xml? The former contains model and texture resources and not units. You can start a database from scratch without any stock data entries in it. One important thing to always have in the units...
