Constructs Victoria 2 Order of Battle files (which determine starting diplomatic and SOI relations, leaders, armies and navies) to place inside your \history\units folder.
If you didn't understand that sentence was referring to then this utility isn't for you.

What it does not do yet is assign home provinces to regiments. For now they still have to be determined and entered manually.

Instructions:
Unzip the folder somewhere. Remove the example file and place any number of your own .omkr files in the folder. The are simple text files and can be written in any text editor, just remember to save them with an .omkr extension. With regards to naming, FRA.omkr will be used to construct FRA_oob.txt. The resulting .txt files should then be placed in your \history\units folder.
Double click the executable .jar to run the programme. You must have Java 6 installed (most people will already).

These .omkr files should use be formatted like the following example (but without the lines starting with #)(An example file is included):
Sections can be left out, but there should always be two asterisks between the start of the input files and the first armies/navies in them.

#tag, relation value, influence level(optional), current influence points(optional)

LUX;125;3;25

I'll have a new version uploaded in the next day or two which will assign home provinces for regiments as well.

Any other features people would like in this utility?
Or any other Victoria 2 utilities people would like to see made?

Could you make a GUI for it, it would be a lot easier to select it graphically than typing in so much.

[dskod1]

Well I think I speak for everyone when I say AWESOME!

This will really help the modders and shave so much time off making/updating mods.

Only suggestion would be what flame said. GUI

[CaptRobau]

I agree. Great, but needs a GUI.

[Kalelovil]

Here is a beta of the new version, tell me if there are any problems.
Same general instructions as before, except:
There is now however a config.properties file. Before running this utility open that file in a text editor and enter the appropriate paths of your Victoria 2 installation.

Excellent, but to be honest this isn't very useful until the tool let's you chose their province of recruitment, so keep it up.

Wouldn't that be rather tedious?

Well it could default to their location, then you could change it. But yes, it would be.

[Sgt. Grumbles]

This is great.
Can we get a pop editor, too?

He made one, its right there in his signature, I made one too, in my signature.

Herp derp. I need to pay more attention.

Here is a picture of the in-progress GUI. To those asking for a GUI, is this what you were expecting? Anything I should change?

Yes, that looks really great, though on Current Order of Battle, could you display what would be in the text file?

[Anjwalker]

That looks great, but perhaps you could do something like split the Current Order of Battle box into two - One showing what it does now, the second one showing what the file will look like once converted into a .txt?

This tool is awesome
