Hard times with adding the MP-40
Posts: 31
Tried to add two more kinds of anti-infantry partisans: ones with MP-44 (found the respective weapon in the Mod Tools) and ones with MP-40 (cloned the Panzergrenadiers' one). First ones were added without any problems, second appeared without any weapon in their hands except for MG-42, added as a slot item.
"Not a big deal" - I thought - "editing the *.abp will do the trick". Found the respective files (partisan_male_random.abp, partisan_male_01.abp and partisan_male_02.abp), discovered, that all they use the partisan_weapons.abp.
Added the MP-40 to the latter, and - nothing. Separately added the MP-40 to partisan_male_random.abp - still nothing. Added the MP-40 to both partisan_male_01.abp and partisan_male_02.abp - still nothing!
Can anyone tell me, what do I do wrong? Thanks in advance.

Could you post what path you used for the MP40? It might be incorrect.
"..\\..\\german\\weapons\\smg_mp40\\smg_mp40" - I merely copied it from the grenadier's .abp and pasted into above mentioned partisan ones. May seem to be too simple, but it worked before.

So, your partisan_weapons.abp looks something like this?
Code
model =
{
--"..\\..\\german\\weapons\\granatwerfer_34_sync\\granatwerfer_34_sync",
"..\\..\\soviet\\weapons\\mortar_82mm_pm41_sync\\mortar_82mm_pm41_sync",
"..\\..\\german\\weapons\\rifle_kar98\\rifle_kar98",
"..\\..\\german\\weapons\\smg_mp40\\smg_mp40",
"..\\..\\soviet\\weapons\\rifle_mosin_nagant\\rifle_mosin_nagant",
"..\\..\\soviet\\weapons\\rifle_mosin_nagant_sniper\\rifle_mosin_nagant_sniper",
"..\\..\\soviet\\weapons\\lmg_dp28\\lmg_dp28",
"..\\..\\soviet\\weapons\\rifle_ptrs41\\rifle_ptrs41",
"..\\..\\soviet\\weapons\\smg_ppsh41\\smg_ppsh41",
"..\\..\\soviet\\weapons\\rifle_svt40\\rifle_svt40",
"..\\..\\soviet\\props\\demolitions\\demolitions",
}
-- Intermediate ABP
simvis_attributes =
{
Intermediate_Model = 1
}
Right, exactly like this. I even added the "..\\..\\german\\weapons\\smg_mp40\\smg_mp40" line to partisan_male_random.abp and partisan_male_01 and partisan_male_02.abp separately. And still to no avail.

In these specific Partisan ABP files, the path should look like this instead:
"..\\..\\..\\german\\weapons\\smg_mp40\\smg_mp40",
You should probably use either only the shared partisan_weapons.abp OR only the specific Partisan ABP files, not both!

Tried both variants - none worked. Looks like they don't want to carry the MP-40 :-))

Certain weapons have conflicts with each other. Try ONLY having the MP 40 as a test, or making a new .abp for your MP 40 wielding partisan ebps.
If it's not too hard or time-consuming - please, explain a bit more about creating a new .abp. For I tried to merely make a copy of, say, partisan_male_01, renamed it to partisan_male_01_mp_40.abp and tried to replace the original partisan_male_random.abp in the respective ebps.
The result was like "The file partisan_male_01_mp_40.abp references the files that do not exist ... bla-bla-bla".
Pretty much the same with extracting the entire folder (I took refugee_male_01) to the data/art etc. folder of my mod.

With all respect - but there's nothing about proper creation of new .abp or correct replacing of the entity's animator in this video :-(

It's no different than editing an existing one, just a different path in the animator field of the entity_blueprint_ext.
The point is, that there should be all these *.rgb, *.rgt, *.mua and so on for this newly created *.abp. How can I create them? Does copying and renaming work?

It's probably something in your attributes that is not properly set up. Without seeing the files themselves, all we can do is conjecture.

Who's got a better solution - may throw a stone at me :-))
