MyFirstDecalPack Source Files:

Use only as a reference, since ModIDs are unique.
Relic Decal Templates:

The templates are divided up into 128x128 grids, so keep that in mind when creating new decals.
This tutorial assumes you have already set up the Mod Builder. If that is not the case, check out my tutorial for that.
I set things up manually, as opposed to automatically via the wizard. If you prefer the wizard, follow the steps provided by the Essence Engine Wiki (http://modding.companyofheroes.com/decal-pack-wizard).

Indeed thank you Eliw00d for filling the gaps that were left in Relic's tutorial.
Oddly enough I have managed to get a pack working using they're guidelines and another 2 after using your methods to build them. But now I have hit a wall. After making those 3 Decal packs I can't make any more...
Ironically after I made my third one I had to update CoH2and anything I have made after that doesn't show up in the inventory menu. I'm starting to get the feeling they have broken it already...

Interesting. Check your warnings.log to see if any of your packs are being rejected due to invalid file structure.

That's the problem nothing was showing up in the warnings log. I simply re-did everything from scratch and all was working fine again.
On a side note I found that Icons did not like being put in sub folders. Now this was probably due to the way I structured the folders and the burn icon settings but after trying to get it working a few different ways I found simply placing them all in the UI folder and naming them icon1, icon2, icon3 etc. worked.

The subfolder method works like this:
ModIcons_<ModID>_<subfolder>_<filename>
So, "data\ui\skins\feldgrau.png" would be:
ModIcons_<ModID>_skins_feldgrau
That should work.
ModIcons_<ModID>_<subfolder>_<filename>
So, "data\ui\skins\feldgrau.png" would be:
ModIcons_<ModID>_skins_feldgrau
That should work.

Could you post the error log from Mod Builder? Be sure to right-click, clean, then build to get the error for that session.

Hello eliw00d. Can i ask question? Then build decal pack have error in warnin g log:
"Error rebuilding test.mod: Index out of range. The index must be a positive number , and its size should not exceed the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index."
I downloaded your "First Decal Pack", build and again have index error like first time. What's a problem?

The path to your mod is probably too long. Try shortening it, for example to the desktop.

Try remaking your mod from scratch, then. I am not sure what that error really means.

Invalid file structure means that you have files in places they do not belong. There should be an additional line in the warnings.log that points out the file.

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
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
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
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
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy

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

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
18 Mar 2025, 19:01 PM
18 Mar 2025, 19:01 PM
Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please.

18 Mar 2025, 16:47 PM
Rosbone: @Nickbn True except, the only people on the Relic Discord/Reddit/Steam are brain washed monkey zealots. They wont even understand what @adamírcz is talking about. Anyone else is banned.
16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM
16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM
Nickbn: @adamírcz might be a better idea to voice this to relic directly than to voice it here, in a shoutbox of a nearly deade fansite #justsaying...
16 Mar 2025, 16:36 PM
16 Mar 2025, 16:36 PM
adamírcz: So, I just got a leaver penalty without even getting onto the loading screen because of the game disconnecting, bravo Relic

Rosbone: It is an indicator of the very short sighted capitalist view that plagues any company where leadership does not understand the product.
13 Mar 2025, 20:00 PM
13 Mar 2025, 20:00 PM
Rosbone: They dont care about Coh3 or Coh in general. They are just trying to grab cash by ripping off the small user base they have.
13 Mar 2025, 19:58 PM
13 Mar 2025, 19:58 PM
Rosbone: It is clear they crapped out an unfinished game. And are now barely supporting it as they make new smaller games. Coh3 is stillborn. It will be meh for at least another 2-4 years. Meaning they killed the whole franchise instead of growing it.
13 Mar 2025, 19:56 PM
13 Mar 2025, 19:56 PM
Rosbone: If I did play coh3 and was mainly a skirmish player, I would be pissed and probably stop playing. And it has been like this since release. Why? I would not tell my friends to buy a game I am not even playing. Lost sales and angered users.
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: I am just saddened how Relic keeps hurting themselves by not fixing 5 minute things like menus. Why anger users with stuff that could be fixed in minutes???
13 Mar 2025, 19:50 PM
13 Mar 2025, 19:50 PM
Rosbone: I was wondering why people think I was raging. I think it was when I said "because coh3 sucks so bad". That was not my opinion. Just a general feel from top players/streamers. I dont play Coh3 and have NO opinion of it.
13 Mar 2025, 19:48 PM
13 Mar 2025, 19:48 PM
OKSpitfire: You can rage as often as you like btw, you usually manage to make it pretty funny.
12 Mar 2025, 11:18 AM
12 Mar 2025, 11:18 AM
Rosbone: So it was a systemic failure across multiple disciplines and check points.
12 Mar 2025, 04:30 AM
12 Mar 2025, 04:30 AM
Rosbone: Knowing how companies work, I imagine a new hire making the menus. The API they are using is complicated and things were hard to figure out. But at some point QA or management should have addressed these things. Usually within 6 months of starting.
12 Mar 2025, 04:29 AM
12 Mar 2025, 04:29 AM
Rosbone: @theekvn I dont hate Coh3 or Relic. I just dont understand how you work on Coh3 for like 7 years and the menu system is worse than if a Programming 101 student made it. Feel free to explain it to me.
12 Mar 2025, 04:07 AM
