If you create a layer of snow over the whole map, does that mean your painted snow will never show up? Or will the layer eventually get tramped away an reveal whatever is painted below?
Likewise with splats/splines below a snow layer: will they ever become visible? Is there any point in using them?

Huge labor saver - thanks! |
I think I misunderstood the first question. I use the canopy because I can *not* see squads loaded into the truck. |
I do both in my German Metafaction mod. I don't remember the details of either, but you can download it and look at the sbps and ebps.
For the trucks I put the canvases up when troops mount (since you can't see them), and take them down when everyone dismounts.

Great, thanks!

So if one faction has ...whatever...\combat_engineers in its archive, there won't be a ...somethingelse..\combat_engineers ? And you can just use "combat_engineers" as the short blueprint name? |
I was wondering how to find the name of "fuesilier_squad_mp". Without a faction, there could be duplicates.
However, I think I can use World_GetPossible{Squads,Entities}Blueprint to iterate over everything in the mod, and output the blueprint names. I'll probably try that tonight.

For a map script I want to see whether a mod is in use, and the first way that occurs to me is to use EBP_Exists for some custom entity in the mod. I've seen the instructions for prepending your mod's ID to the entity's name, but I don't see how to specify the entity's name so that the script can find the blueprint.
I see that the Attribute Editor will let you export luaconstsauto.scar for the mod, but it does not have the new entities and squads in it.
Anyone know how to reference a new squad or entity from a script?

Thanks. Someday I'll learn to read carefully.

I've had the tools installed, and automatic updates turned on, but I can't find the .psd files for the skins. Do I need to un-install, re-install, and fill out the wizard to pick them up? Or am I just looking in the wrong place (i.e., under the Steam tools installation directory)? |
