Well I dusted off my DD copy for 1914 purposes.
As many others, I also encountered 'escort.txt error'. If you have problems with escort.txt file (it is not in rars), solution is simple:
1. Create escort.txt file in \db\units\divisions
2. Put string in it:
# ESCORT FIGHTER
model = { # Basic Escort Fighter 1916 - 0
cost = 15
buildtime = 150
defaultorganisation = 30
ect.
}
3. Save file
4. Run game
It worked for me. Everything OK, at least for now.
Sorry guys. Interesting Mod/project honestly, but it has loooong way to go, to reach M34, TRP or WiF level.
All the best of luck.
Priority is ARM compatibility and installator. Without that many people wont install it/try it - in particular peps without modding skills or computer knowledge. You have enough examples above me with various problems.
Now when I finally forced it to run I will post any futher errors and suggestions or tech teams [hehe new possibilities with 1897 ->
]. (I running it on Vista HP 32b if anybody asks)
Cheers!
