"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?..The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and... the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

Thread: important balance stuff for coh3 up front21 Sep 2021, 03:16 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Sep 2021, 16:57 PMNoktDraz Rocket arty is doctrinal only Ok, rocket arty is doctrinal and every faction gets access to effective MGs and anti infantry tools and this is a no-brainer for me. Rocket arty and insta-wipe tools aren't particularly fun and I only enjoy using them to counter stupid gameplay like blobbing and support weapon spam. In: COH3 Central
Thread: OKW teching clarity21 Sep 2021, 03:13 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2021, 09:48 AMVipper I was talking more about the display of upgrades and bonus which can be a bit confusing to navigate. For instance ostheer reinforcement bonus comes T4 and the user can not see unless he actually build the T4. If the icon was moved in T0 then it would be more player friendly. In similar manner the Soviet one is available in T3 and free in T4 if the icon was move to T0 it might become easier to see and explain. Maybe there could be a separate tab in HQ that has all the upgrade (non related to the building itself)/bonus. The only issue I see with this is that the UI could get crowded but afaik most T0 buildings have plenty of grid space for such info. In: Lobby
Thread: Cover and countering cover20 Sep 2021, 21:00 PM It's really silly to me how tank trap collision boxes are basically really thin sandbags that you build one on top of another. Is it a balance reason that they weren't given a more square hitbox? Perhaps so that it's harder to deny tanks from entering areas? Or was it just so that tank traps could function as sandbags lite?

Thread: Please implement vehicle abandons.20 Sep 2021, 18:40 PM All it sounds like to me is that it punishes dives into enemy territory completely unsupported by any allied forces which is already a gamble in the first place. One smoke drop, one AT shot, one panzershrek or bazooka hit will destroy an abandoned tank. I fail to see how it's that hard to deal with if you're playing combined arms properly. Anyways I never wanted my argument to be to force crits onto 1v1 gamemodes. I think that if that's what they want then that's what they want. However, I think that it should totally be a thing in teamgames. Or like someone else said there should be a mechanic that replaces it. There's nothing more satisfying and morale-depleting than owning an enemy with their own tank. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Please implement vehicle abandons.20 Sep 2021, 18:34 PM Everyone's talking on this thread like the mere possibility of vehicle abandons "destroys all aggressive gameplay!!11" and yet there are plenty of aggressive plays and despite teamgames being the most statistically likely place for abandons to happen, there are still aggressive plays that happen despite the less than 5% chance of an abandon happening upon a tank's death.

Thread: Updating a mod from .sga extraction?18 Sep 2021, 21:20 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2021, 17:24 PMRagnarTheGamer I'm afraid that you will have to start from the beginning. As of now, there are no public tools that would convert .rgd files to .xml files. The only tool that is public, is the Dawn of War 3 one but that tool is meant for DoW and not CoH (Most hashes are not known and will not correctly build the xml structure for CoH). Thanks. I'm going to cry myself to sleep now. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Updating a mod from .sga extraction?18 Sep 2021, 12:14 PM Alright actually I'm even worse off than I thought because the Archive.exe file extracts all the different unit files as .rgd and not .xml like the actual mod builder uses. So basically I need help starting from the beginning. Please god help me I don't want to redo everything just to fix one problem. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Updating a mod from .sga extraction?18 Sep 2021, 00:29 AM I published a tuning pack, but I lost the files I used to make it. I looked up how to extract from an SGA file, but now I've no idea how to use these extracted files. Please help me out. I'm trying to fix some oversights with my tuning pack. In: Modding and Tools

Change your game to 32bit and update the mod will add the thumbnail. Future updates from 64bit will keep the thumbnail. Worked! Thanks a lot. In: Guides
Thread: Anyone know how to disable Tiger Ace vet on recrew?17 Sep 2021, 13:03 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2021, 04:58 AMSneakEye A few things I can think of: Move the 'veterancy_action' from sbps to ebps and use a 'change_target_action' with 'change_target_type' is 'squad'. The ebps action will not be runned again upon recrewing. Or put the 'veterancy_action' in a requirement_action and add an upgrade to the entity (set 'apply_to_entities_in_squad' to 'true'). Then check in the requirement to not have that entity_upgrade so it will only run once. Disabling disembark is also do-able. Clone abilities\aef\timed_ability\vehicle_decrew_generic_mp and add the requirement 'not' and in there 'required_unit_type' with 'unit_type' is 'tiger_ace'. There are 3 other decrew abilities, you have to edit them all: abilities\aef\timed_ability\vehicle_decrew_m20_crew_mp abilities\aef\timed_ability\vehicle_decrew_medics_mp abilities\aef\timed_ability\vehicle_decrew_vehicle_crew_mp Thank you for the response. I ended up puzzling it out myself out of impatience, cloning the blueprint for the tiger ace crew and adding "_recrew" to the end. For that squad blueprint I removed the veterancy action. Then I just went to the recrew tab on the tiger ace and switched the crew blueprint from the normal squad to the recrew squad. So now any recrewing squad doesn't get vet and it worked out alright in the end. Also thank you for the explanation of how to disable disembark on tanks. I was confused and thought it had something to do with whether or not the tank had an entry for the AEF race. In: Modding and Tools
