Ubisoft grants no warranty for correct function and does not provide any support! Support is exclusively provided by Rayydar's Raiders!
The unofficial UK Patch 2.20 by '008'	16/03/06 862 KB	DISCLAIMER: This patch is not a product by Ubisoft! It is not authorized by Ubisoft! Ubisoft grants no warranty for correct function and does not provide any support! Support is exclusively provided by Rayydar's Raiders and the international PG2 community! The next - unfortunately unfinished - version the famous UK-patch provides leadership abilities for warships, AD, and Flak. Scenario designers can make a difference between BV, V, TV by the number of hexes to be occupied. You definitely need this for the (see above). Fully compatible with previous versions! BTW: The date above is correct! This version was in fact finished on 16/03/2006.
Icons descriptions v1.3 by Schwejk	07/01/05 156 KB	An Excel spreadsheet which you can search for descriptions of nearly all available PG2 icons. A real benefit for every e-file designer! :)
The Official v1.02 Patch by SSI US version UK version French version	03/01/01 1829 KB 03/01/01 1452 KB 03/01/01 263 KB	The official SSI patch for PG2 which eliminates some bugs of versions 1.00 and 1.01. For ladder games version 1.02 or the UK-patch (see above) must be used! IMPORTANT: This patch MUST be installed on v1.00 (zero-zero), NOT on v1.01! If 1.01 is installed, return to 1.00 and THEN install this patch. Make sure to use the correct national version, too!
PG2 DLLs US version by SSI	12/12/97 808 KB	For the UK-patch (see above) all original DLLs are required. Mysteriously these DLLs seem to vanish from many players' harddisks (due to 'cleanup' programs, I suppose :~) Anyway, here are the DLLs for the US version (should work with UK version, too). Unzip to PG2 main folder.

**Scenario and Campaign Tools**
File / Program Author	Upd. Size	Description
Suite PG2 sticky by Luis Guzman		Note: Since Luis is so fast in updating the Suite it is no more possible to constantly mirror the most recent version here. So please download at Luis' site directly. Updates will be announced in the news page ticker sometimes. Luis Guzman's suite is the by far most powerful PG2 tool ever und just required by everyone - even players (see above). Scenario designers! For a scenario-individual map file please change its name by adding an 'R' prefix and make sure it does not exceed 8 characters! Example: SEVASTOP.map -> RSEVASTO.map.
RIA Espionage Tool v1.1 by Scipio	29/12/09 2135 KB	: Now generating CSV files as well! In the most scenarios it is vital to keep track of the opponent's units and your kills. The game does not show the whole truth: not every unit is displayed in the casualties stats. This is where the Raiders Intelligence Agency (RIA) helps! Thanks to Scipio you can easily generate unit line-ups for all user scenarios, print them out or load them into a spreadsheet program, and use them as tally sheets. Requires an up-to-date Java runtime environment!
Mapnames by various authors	07/08/06 386 KB	Topographical and city names, input for the mapnamer program (see below). Do not mix these up with the mapfiles (see below)! Important: this ZIP must be extracted into the folder ...\Panzer General 2\MAPNAMES. If you don't have it, make it!
Unit Codes by various authors	28/09/02 344 KB	Some unit codes charts, i.e. a synopsis (Excel sheet) of codes and names of all SSI and Waffenkammer units for direct comparison by RedScorpion. Note: the RSF codes are documented in the RSF 3. DATA ZIP itself (see above).
FRA-to-TXT-Converter v1.1.0 by Carl Ankerstjerne	28/02/02 1.5 MB	PG2 US and UK versions (the UK-patch!) crash if they run on foreign special characters like French accents or German umlaute. Carl's converter automatically generates .txt files WITHOUT these characters from .fra or .deu files. We used that when we introduced the G-patch to our German players. Could be useful for French Operation Panzer* players as well. Note: the same special characters problem arises with .ply files. The converter processes only .txt, though. So just rename your .ply -> .txt, run the converter, and rename files back to .ply. Important:* extract into temporary folder and have a look at the readme before installing!
Multiplayer PbeM v1.01 by Lasse Jensen	27/04/00 34 KB	There are some nice multiplayer scenarios out there, e.g. the Raiders' 'North Front'. However, these can normally played online only (or they can't due to game crashes, lost connections etc.). Lasse's tool switches those scens easily to PBEM and thus enables real teamwork on the pixel battlefield.! Note: the EXE can be extracted to any folder.
Scenario Map Namer v1.00 by Lasse Jensen	09/03/00 26 KB	By this tool you can automatically designate topographical and city names to scenarios on most maps. There has to be a data file called MAPnnn.txt, though (nnn = map no.). All available files are in the MAPNAMES.zip (see above). Of course you can and you should convert names which you have created yourself into a MAPNAMES file and supply it to the PG2 community! Note: the EXE can be extracted to any folder.

**Map Tools**

Suite PG2 von Luis Guzman		See above -> Scenario Tools!
Mapfiles by various authors	07/08/06 592 KB	OK, these files (.map) are not a tool - rather the results of map making. However, every PG2 player got to have them. These contain the terrain types for all BP maps. Do not mix these up with the mapnames (see above)! Important:* the ZIP must be extracted to folder ...\Panzer General 2\SCENARIO. This folder must NOT contain more than 200 *.map; otherwise the SSI editor and maybe the game will crash!
Hex Workshop v3.1 by BreakPoint Software	04/07/00 1.7 MB	Hex editor which you need to assign 3 digit map numbers. Of course this tool can do much more ... As it is commercial software this is only a 30 days evalution version. Download on the BreakPoint Software website.
Scenario Map Namer v1.00		See above scenario tools).
Hex Wizard v1.22 by Günther Haslbeck	03/11/99 1,3 MB	The freeware alternative for Hex Workshop (see ebove). By far sufficient in order to assign map numbers and much more. There are cool instructions (HTML) included in the ZIP file. Fortunely the cheat tips are worthless for PG2 :-)
PA-PG2 Map Converter v0.10 by Fred Chlanda	27/08/98 61 KB	Original purpose: conversion of Paficic General -> PG2 maps. However, you can use it for BMP -> SHP conversion as well which - according to experts - provides better palettes and is faster than the SHP editor.

E-File Converter Tables by Carl Ankerstjerne, RedScorpion u.a.	01/03/03 28 KB	The translations tables for the e-file converter (see below). Available up to now: Waffenkammer -> RSF SSI -> Waffenkammer Waffenkammer -> Adlerkorps Waffenkammer -> BP 'Pay to play' Waffenkammer -> Oronzo Adlerkorps -> BP 'Pay to play' BP 'Pay to play -> Adlerkorps
Panzer2.dat Tool v2.1.0 by Carl Ankerstjerne	28/04/02 1.9 MB	Once a viewer, now an all-purpose tool for editing and analyzing the Panzer2.dat icon file. There are so much features that they cannot be described here. Fortunately, there is a detailed readme file in well-known Ankerstjerne quality :-) Important: extract into temporary folder and have a look at the readme before installing!
E-File Converter v1.0.0 by Carl Ankerstjerne	16/06/01 1.4 MB	Not really funny: you play a scenario with another e-file, and you get a Panzer I instead of a P IV 'Brummbaer'. Or your originally self-propelled arty becomes immobile. Carl has solved this problem: his converter adapts single scenarios and even entire campaigns to other e-files automatically! Example: take any SSI based scenario, convert it to the Waffenkammer e-file and have a quite different - and better - scenario! Note 1: SSI based scenarios need not be converted to the RSF, for both files are 100% unit compatible. Note 2: Of course you need a translation table (see above). Important: extract into temporary folder and have a look at the readme before installing!
