Bulletins

Stack.

Well, except for these:
soviet\medium-tanks\t34_85_armor
west_german\artillery\ig18_ability_recharge
west_german\light-vehicles\ostwind_armor
german\assault_gun\stug_e_armor
medium_tank\officer_tank.txt (armor bulletin for sherman/okw panther, WILL stack on Panther but will NOT stack on Sherman)

[...]

If you still wanna check, use the Attribute Editor and take a look at upgrade/intel_bulletins. If a modifier has 'exclusive' set to True, it doesn't stack. If it's set to False, it stacks.

Thanks a lot!

I made some custom abilities that lack proper icons at the moment. I know how I can add my own, but I'd like to look through the stock icons first, if possible. Does anyone know in which archive I can find them?

Edit: Found it. Should have checked the stickies first...sorry about that. This thread can be deleted!

Everything works as intended now, including the animations. Thanks a lot for your help!

I have added an MG42 to the Sd.Kfz. 250, and I want it to be crewed and functional only when a squad is garrisoned. Here's what I did to achieve that so far:

1. In combat_ext, I added a (disabled) MG42 on hardpoint one:
attributes\weapon\axis\small_arms\machine_gun\light_machine_gun\halftrack_250_dummy
(receives_attack_commands set to True. I also edited sdkfz_250.abp to make it actually visible.)

2. In crew_ext, I added another crewman in the second role:
armies\german\soldiers\vehicle_crew\vehicle_crew
(role_name set to Gunner, sync_on_create set to False.)

This gives me a 250 with an uncrewed MG42 and only a driver inside, just like I wanted. Screenshot

3. In hold_ext/on_loaded_hold_actions, I added two things:

3.1 add_crew_action, crew_name set to Gunner
(To make the second crewman actually appear.)

3.2 change_weapon, weapon set to:
attributes\weapon\west_german\small_arms\machine_gun\light_machine_gun\sdkfz_251_mg42_mp
(To make the MG42 actually functional.)

When I garrison a squad, a second crew member appears, but his position and posture is screwed up. Also, the MG42 doesn't fire at all. Screenshot
I know that both the gunner and the new weapon work properly on this vehicle when I add them permanently. So it must have something to do with step three, I guess!

Additionally, when I unload the squad, the gunner doesn't disappear like he should. Screenshot

The description of on_loaded_hold_actions says:
"Actions to execute on the HOLD when there are loadedgarrisoned troops inside These actions are reverted when troops are unloaded"

Does anyone have any experience with this? Did I do something fundamentally wrong or are these attributes just not fully functional?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
