Updated Tags [LSB / USO]

Description
Currently trying to fix it for Frontlines update!

[LSB] and [USO] created by RyansPlace.
Updated Tags requires the former and replaces/updates the latter.

What is Updated Tags?
Updated Tags is a personal take and updated companion mod for RyansPlace's Long Skirmish Battles [LSB]. Since the author wishes to wait before updating the companion mod until they believe the developers are done modifying the affected files, I decided that I'd take up that task and update it.

Apparently the devs created the option to choose which unit types were allowed inside multiplayer matches but never finished it, thus hiding it. Ryan's [LSB] mod enabled this feature. However, most of the units are either missing tags or are not assigned those appropriate to them, causing some units to appear with the wrong group(s).

The perfect example is the Supply Crate. It is tagged as both Supply and Cannon for some reason.

In walked Ryan's [USO] mod. An attempt to tag all units to allow the user to choose which units are allowed during battle. However, it hasn't been updated in a while so I decided to do that myself for the time being.

I also added my own personal touches, which may be controversial to some players. If you do not like some or all of these changes, I will gladly assist you in making changes yourself. This mod modifies the tags more than USO did, by ignoring the base structure of the categories and expanding upon them.

This mod replaces RyansPlace's Unit Set Options [USO] mod.


Current Features:
Both Early and Late Era German and Russian rosters for multiplayer have been updated. All that's left is the Mid Era, and promise to have it done before the end of December.

Have not tested for anything other than skirmish against AI.

I'd appreciate it if you'd subscribe and test it for me. Perhaps issues that did not present themselves to me may present themselves to you. That, and I made a lot of changes that some may not like and feedback would be awesome!

  • If you're curious about what categories affect what types of units, please refer to the appropriate Discussion at the bottom of the mod page. Please keep complaints here and I'll respond and help you make personal changes to your files if needbe.

  • If you'd like to keep up-to-date or otherwise follow along with updates, you can do so by checking the Change Notes tab at the top of the mod page. I always update it for my important mods/guides.
    This also includes detailed information about exactly which units are part of which categories!


Credits
RyansPlace created LSB which is required for this mod to work. They do not wish to take credit for this specific mod although it updates/replaces his companion mod USO.

Still, I give them the necessary credits for creating the original mod that I later used to create this one.

Yeah its fine, dont need to stress this much but its really must have mod, for me atleast cause i play with my friends against AI's and its just steamroll since AI spawns rather medium or light than heavies so it becomes boring :// but yeah im following ur work keep it up!

I was unable to figure out how to fix things after the update. It appeared that an error kept pointing to a file that was previously untouched by both original mods. I spent hours each day for about 3-4 days trying to figure out what was wrong but couldn't. I changed, modified, and removed code.. I decided to put it on hold for a while.

The intensity I was putting towards this issue was causing me to have medical issues so I put the entire game on hold too. I will come back to this eventually, though. I can't play the game without these filters, though I'll probably wait until the originals have been updated officially when new factions are released.

I can't figure out how to fix an issue with the code. I spent two whole days on the file that keeps flagging during the crashes but I'm unsure what the issue is.

I took a break from it and haven't gotten back around to it quite yet.

Another update:
I finished Late German and Russian rosters, but game still crashes when launching a standard match even without touching what's allowed or not. Gonna take a break but look into some more. I don't know what the problem is quite yet.

Hey, just an update into what's going on with the mod:

I noticed that - for doctrine units - a lot of them had modified values, and for one doctrine two of the Tier 3 units were swapped. I've been matching everything from the new update into the mod. I then decided to look at the update itself and there seemed to be some changes to mine teams as well? I also have noticed two new tags introduced into the base files, though I decided to just keep using the original ones for the time being.

I'm still unsure why these changes would crash the game because my guess would be that it would just keep using the modded values and such but I'm still gonna go through everything I've done and replace it, just to be safe.

I will try finishing both Late Germany and Russia and then test a short match. If it works, I'll update the mod and work on fixing the Early Era. Should all be done by the end of the day (7:30am as of writing) if I don't get distracted by shiny objects!

Cheers!

I'll look into it immediately!

I tried updating the mod a few days ago but it wasn't letting me and then Frontlines came out. I tried one March of Frontlines and noticed I couldn't use USO/UT but that's because LSB.

When I just tried to play without tweaking anything it crashed and I just left it. It could be due to the update and an LSB thing but I'll check. :)

well, i had one good match with it but now every time i try to use any of the set options the game CTDs. only mods i'm using are LSB and this one. not sure why it worked fine at first but is now giving me trouble. as far as feedback, it's much better organized than the original USO and i like your tweaks... just wish i could get it working again!

if it's any help, if i try to just disable something small (say, for example, move flamers/medics/snipers into disabled, but nothing else) then the battle will launch but those units will still be available despite the setting. if i try to move a larger category, such as wheeled vehicles, into the disabled section, the battle will load and then crash at 100%.

Hey @Rebert!

Thanks for your comment! Do you have any comments on my personal touches compared to USO, if you'd used that? Any feedback?
