How comlex is AoD --> DH mod conversion?

[unmerged(189717)]

Hello,

I'd like to know how complicated it'll be to convert a mod from AoD to DH. How many and which files will have to be changed? And will it be necessary to adjust nasty stuff like AI files?
Thanks in advance!

Since AoD uses the vanilla map which is available in Darkest Hour too, the most time consuming task which is the adjusting of all scenario, event and AI files to a new map can be postponed until (if ever) mod creators decide to move to the new map.

For the rest it depends on how many of the unique AoD features are used in the mod. Those should be changed to Arma/DH format or replaced/removed depending on the situation.

Then comes the implementation of the new DH features (like decisions for example), but those are optional and modders could implement them or not.

Pretty much as complicated as moving a standard Hoi:Armageddon mod to AOD.

You basicly have to do all the steps in reverse that don't relate to files included in the Darkest Hour Mod Pack.

On second thought, it should be easier, as the new debuglogs will show you most things that are "wrong" in your dbfiles for DH.

One of those new things, I've gotten so used to, that it doesn't register anymore. ^^
