So I play around with tanks' armour values, everything was okay until today when I opened Attribute Editor and log window opened with following errors:
Code
File reference "animator" in file (c:\users\xxx\documents\firstmod\mod\instances\ebps\races\german\vehicles\panzer_iv_sdkfz_161\panzer_iv_commander_sdkfz_161_mp.xml) references a file that doesn't exist (art\armies\german\vehicles\panzer_iv\panzer_iv.abp; art\armies\german\vehicles\panzer_iv\panzer_iv.rgo; art\armies\german\vehicles\panzer_iv\panzer_iv.rgm).
File reference "animator" in file (c:\users\xxx\documents\firstmod\mod\instances\ebps\races\german\vehicles\panzer_iv_sdkfz_161\panzer_iv_sdkfz_161_mp.xml) references a file that doesn't exist (art\armies\german\vehicles\panzer_iv\panzer_iv.abp; art\armies\german\vehicles\panzer_iv\panzer_iv.rgo; art\armies\german\vehicles\panzer_iv\panzer_iv.rgm).

I ignored it at first, but now in game Panzer IV's model is missing and I see only a blue box in it's place.
I thought that maybe I really messed something up and deleted the Panzer IV's edited files. I clone these files again, changed ONLY armour values but the errors are still up. What's going on?


edit: I deleted the files and it's still present

I get the same message when I open a mod that I haven't changed since the update. I only get one instance of the error, presumably because my mod only cloned the P4 "stubby", and no other variants.

Playing without a mod I get the correct P4.

With my mod (which I rebuilt after the update, but without changing) I get a placeholder oopsbox for the P4 "stubby". I get a tank for the P4, but it appears to be the West variant, since it gets a West skin.

Haven't tried the command tank.

In the attribute editor, the animator name for the clones is the same as the vanilla animator name.

People on steam are reporting additional problems, such as no sandbags rendered for hull down.

Mod tools files have not been updated yet, they're still stuck in the last patch.

The patch removed the old animation files for Ostheer, all variants of the PIV (PIV command tank, PIV, PIV F1 from singleplayer) have been moved over to the OKW model:

animator: armies\west_german\vehicles\panzer_iv_sdkfz_ausf_i\panzer_iv_sdkfz_ausf_i

Okay so I got around it and just changed the model to OKW one, but how about "stubby" PzIV Commander? Is there a model for it?

the stubby most likely uses the same model but has the stubby barrel as animation state. That's how it worked with the old p4 at least

It is applied exactly the same as before, with the state machine changes that you can find in the ebps file for the PIV commander under action_apply. Several of them are applied to the commander, but the particular one for the stubby cannon will be the one with vehicle_variant state being set to F1 (F2 is long gun and default value).

Yes, replacing the animator (or the whole blueprint) with the one for the West IVj fixed my East IVf1 and IVg/h/whatever. Haven't tried the command tank. (FWIW, the animator for the IVj is named "i".)

Also, my mod lets the West faction build them, and when I do they come in with West skins rather than naked. For my money, making this change for all the German vehicles would be a plus.

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM
Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific. :snfQuinn:.
