Can't extract any CoH3 .sga contents, all fail with "Error reading data for file ..." #4

Hi again,

I get the above error with the latest viewer with all of my mod's sgas (subscriptions from Steam). Is it broken for everyone?

Actually, I just wanna look into CheatCommands, is the source available somewhere? I'm interested in adding a unit save/load feature, so you can spawn a bunch of them at once, in their desired positions. Eventually I'd like to make training/challenge scenarios. I'm new to modding CoH, tho a codemonkey by trade, so if you could at least point me into the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Hey, this patched tool isn't needed anymore as both AoE4 and CoH3 are shipped with Essence Editor which can be used to extract the games' .sga archives. Add me on Discord or Steam if you want to chat about CheatCommands mod.

Oh, that explains that then. I'll ring you up soon, cheers!

Oh man, here I was going blind with old CoH2 Scardocs, and just found you have updated ones in your coh3-scar-types (which papa Google has entirely failed to oogle).

Spawning units was easy enough, but haven't been able to get Rule_AddSGroupEvent(rule, self.groupID, GE_SquadKilled) nor Event_Death(log, self.groupID, ANY_MEMBER, true, false, { "Dead soldier for Player" .. self.idx }) to work, so I added you. Are you active in any public forum?

Better, could throw the Scardocs in a repo and document them in the Wiki, what do you think?
