Thread: Skin Pack not functioning in-game.30 Jul 2022, 21:40 PM So I've been trying to make a skinpack to use with some of the vehicles in my mod, and I've been having issues getting it to properly show up in-game. I've followed the semi-official guide exactly, but I can't get the test inventory preview to show up properly. It's strange since I've been able to build the mod just fine with no errors and the skinpack .SGA shows up in my CoH2 mods folder and updates when I build, it just isn't present in-game. I know this isn't an issue with the inventory item not showing up properly, because attempting to do a skinpack_override on the vehicle I'm trying to reskin yields no results. Edit: So I cleaned the mod in the builder and rebuilt the mod, and I got this error which seems to be causing it to no longer build properly. Maybe this has something to do with it, though it wouldn't explain why it built fine with no errors earlier. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: How to set up the art/UI folders and SDK?26 Feb 2022, 14:10 PM So I've gotten to the point with my mod that I want to set up my art folder. I've tried setting it up a few times in the past, but I keep running into errors because I keep doing it wrong, but I don't want to put if off anymore at this point. That said, are there any resources/tutorials about how to have the folders set up and how to get SDK working properly? In: Modding and Tools
Thread: How to make it so the AI selects a certain upgrade?1 Oct 2021, 10:40 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Oct 2021, 04:50 AMSneakEye The ai_economy\overrides are only working for specific singleplayer missions. You have to use "ai_economy\complete\default". I tried once to edit the ai_personality to link them to different economies, but that wouldn't work. Ah, I was working under a false impression I got from another thread that seemed to imply that I had to create an economy override to get the AI to use the modded stuff. Now that I've set the economy to use the complete setting instead of override... the AI still doesn't get the initial upgrade, but if they own a pre-upgraded squad they will automatically get the secondary upgrade. I guess I'll just have to experiment with this some more, but I think I'm on the right track now. Thanks! In: Modding and Tools
Thread: How to make it so the AI selects a certain upgrade?30 Sep 2021, 20:58 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Sep 2021, 20:07 PMSneakEye This is an example of an emtpy upgrade with 'player' as owner, located in each HQ. The AI always buys it. (Context: it is invisible for players so with this upgrade I can determine if a player is cpu or human). ai_economy army Yeah I've done this stuff for the squad upgrades (Utility set to 1,000) and the AI still doesn't get the upgrade. I'm pretty sure I just have configured something incorrectly with the AI economy, though what exactly that might be is unknown. Whatever it is, I assume it has something to do with the ai_economy_override not being set up properly. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: How to make it so the AI selects a certain upgrade?30 Sep 2021, 19:15 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Sep 2021, 15:15 PMSneakEye Welcome to the forum! The AI seems to unlock upgrades which add slot items or certain modifiers regularly. They somehow evaluate the value based on the actions inside. I once had an upgrade that changed the weapon which they did not unlock, but after changing that to add weapon they did buy it. It depends on your upgrade if this is possible. Another way to increase the value is in ai_economy and in army. ai_economy has a list 'upgrades' for entity and squad upgrades, there is a separate list 'player_upgrades' for global upgrades. Set the utility to 1000 to give a high priority. In army there is the 'unlocking_upgrade_list' list for player/global upgrades. The combination with 'unlocked_building' can encourage the AI to unlock it. For example, I use the hq entity for several upgrades which seems to have a high priority, while the bunker entity does nothing. This is try on error. I put important tech upgrades in all possible locations and they now use them perfectly. However, I am still not sure which location has the most effect. So seeing the comments about slot item additions and all this makes me wonder if I somehow have my configuration set in a way that makes it so that the AI isn't actually using the override I set for it. I've got the upgrade utility set to 1,000 and the AI still isn't willing to get it, so I'm starting to think that there's some other issue at play here. If you wouldn't mind, could you either like write a step-by-step basic list of how to properly setup AI economy settings/overrides or link me to a post that has some details on how to do this?

Thread: How to make it so the AI selects a certain upgrade?29 Sep 2021, 18:13 PM So currently I have an upgrade for one of my squads that the AI seems to not be willing to unlock. The upgrade has a manpower cost associated with it (40 MP/10 Muni) so that seems to be a potential factor. Is there some sort of setting that I can adjust in the tools that makes the AI unlock certain upgrades when they become available? In: Modding and Tools
