Question: maps.json, how row "lines" to be defined?

[kraut1]

Hi,

I am working first time on a new front line (for Velikiye Luki 43).

In the maps.json there is row starting with "lines" that I do not understand.

If there is only one front line defined "A":

only 1: "periods" : {"sep 41 - feb 42": "A"},

and all lines = A

"lines": {"01": "A", "02": "A", "03": "A", "04": "A", "05": "A", "06": "A", "07": "A", "08": "A", "09": "A", "10": "A", "11": "A", "12": "A"},

I understand this, no problem.

 

But when there are more frontlines: (e.g. Moscow):

 3:  "periods" : {"nov 41 - feb 42": "A", "mar - apr 42": "B", "may - jul 42": "C"},

and

"lines": {"01": "A", "02": "A", "03": "B", "04": "B", "05": "C", "06": "C", "07": "C", "08": "C", "09": "C", "10": "B", "11": "B", "12": "A"},

Why is "A" for "01", "02", "12" defined (3 times)?

and

Why is "C" for "05","06","07", "08","09" defined (5 times)?

What is the meaning of "lines" in this file?

 

Best Regards

Hi Kraut,

 

This line defines a default front line per month, but I don't think it's used anymore (have to check). 

So "5":"C" means that if you choose May as month then front line "C" will be chosen.

 

UPDATE: I checked, you can ignore that line, but don't delete it yet.
