Included population cap override per request in the code. See

Code

--Population cap override value
	g_popCapOverride = 200

to change it. By default it's set to 200.

It would help if you could explain a bit more briefly what you have tried and what kind of problems you have encountered.

After a full day of trying different things I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. I just did a test run of the map and it worked.

I am trying to do this whole code, but where do I put it on the .scar file? If you showed it on the main tutorial I am sorry for the troubles, I must of missed it.

which contains a pre-made scar file with the following code. Extract it and move the .scar file to your map's folder and rename the .scar file to match your .sbg file name!

Thanks, I have another question, but this is a half on topic half not. In the world builder there is a territory point marked manpower capture point, can I use this to boost manpower supply in high population maps?

First post has instructions for resource income modifiers. You should try that point yourself. It's most likely a leftover from COH1 so it might not work.

Ok, thanks, I suppose I will post whether it works or not in this reply using the wonderful powers of the Edit button.

Is there any option to set this values on teams only ?
So team 1 get more resource income as Team 2 ?
For amazing Compstomp. The AI need more Resource income.....

Edit: Or a option to set different Popcaps per Team ?

Apparently that new point I found was a permanent point, meaning you could capture it, then its yours forever, no one else can capture it, and its a downgraded version of a regular capture point too!

Hi
Is this just for starting resources at the beginning or is for throughout the game as well as I'm fed up with too much fuel and ammo but no manpower many thanks.

My maps are unplayable now (get a fatal scar execution) with the release of the british forces. How can i mod my maps so that the british are included in the resource rate changes? Please help and thank you for amazing guides!

Hi
Could you please do another script but adding the English into it please.
many thanx for your patience.

Hi
Could you please do another script but adding the English into it please.
many thanx for your patience.

Replace function Player_GetRaceIndex with this:



function Player_GetRaceIndex(player)

	local racename = Player_GetRaceName(player)

	if racename == "german" then

		return 0

	elseif racename == "soviet" then

		return 1

	elseif racename == "west_german" then

		return 2

	elseif racename == "aef" then

		return 3

	elseif racename == "british" then

		return 4

	else

		return 0

	end

end

And add this to each configuration below "--us forces:"



			--british forces:

			[4] = {

				manpower = 400,

				fuel = 15,

				munition = 0,

				action = 0,

				command = 1,

			},

Don't forget to set your values for the British Forces!

Could I trouble to ask about the new Brit faction. could you update your tool to include brits or please, provide an entire script or could I boldly ask that you have a look at the below and see if I have it right.

function CustomStartingResources_Init()

	CustomStartingResource System created by Janne252. Visit COH2.ORG for more. Please do not remove this note.

	

	Some information about income_modifier table and how to use it:

		- All resource income modifiers affect the # per minute value.

		- By default all resource income modifiers are set to 1 (value = 1, math_type = MUT_Multiplication). As you know, anything * 1 is the same value.

		- MUT_Multiplication multiplies the income rate and MUT_Addition adds to it. Here are some examples of that:

			- Let's say manpower income is 294 manpower per minute. With value = 10, math_type = MUT_Multiplication we will get 2940 manpower per minute,

			since 294 * 10 = 2940.

			Let's say manpower income is still 294 manpower per minute. With value = 10, math_type = MUT_Addition, we will get 304 manpower per minute, 

			since 294 + 10 = 304.

			

		- How to add 50 extra munition income? 

			{type = RT_Munition, value = 50, math_type = MUT_Addition}

		

		- How to remove 100 from manpower income?

			{type = RT_Manpower, value = -100, math_type = MUT_Addition}

			

		- How to double manpower income?

			{type = RT_Manpower, value = 2, math_type = MUT_Multiplication}
