Title: Instant Battle Options
Post by: luke83 on December 08, 2018, 03:46:24 am: Is there a Ruleset somewhere to configure the Instant Battle screen? I deleted the Soldiers from my OXC game via a mod i am playing with and now i cant use instant battles at all as i can only see TANKS, i just want to add my new units to instant battle.

Hi, Luke! Yes, inside user/xcom1/ is located a file named "battle.cfg". In this file you can edit the soldiers, weapons, craft, armor, etc. of the new battle generator, even the base layout for the random Base Defense missions.

I needed this. Thanks!!

P.S.: The path is user/My Documents/OpenXcom/xcom1/battle.cfg

Only if you keep your user folder in My Documents... Which is something I have no idea why anyone would do.
Just move this folder to OpenXcom/user.

It's useful for a few limited things, such as testing multiple engines with the same mods/userfiles. Generally not useful but if someone wanted to trim out some OXCE features from their mod that could make it easier to do so, I suppose.

Well, if you really know what you're doing, then sure.
But then you wouldn't come here with questions :D

FWIW, I have everything in My Documents... don't know why I would do anything else.

I don't understand. By "user" I meant the folder in Users which is named after the internal name of my computer. For non-administrators it would be named after the username of the user account. Isn't that what was meant with the initial link given? What user folder are you talking about? I don't have a user folder inside my OpenXcom folder.
