Thread: Modding Tools Update 5 Feb 2016, 13:42 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Feb 2016, 20:45 PMbasmqd attributes (sounds). When you state sound, are you referring to the function of changing a squad's sound set in the mod tools, the speech codes? Anyway, besides all those you listed, here's wishing that the feature of importing custom sounds into mods (just like custom models and animation) will also be added in the future. Currently though, it's a good thing we can at least import custom images for unit portraits, abilities, etc. Also, I feel that, with a stronger set of modding tools, the modding community will be more motivated and inspired to create full-fledged total conversions, even to the extend of venturing into creating mods representing fictional, and original universes. EDIT: The gameplay style of Company of Heroes is great for these kind of things. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Aim and wind down/up?21 Jan 2016, 23:59 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Jan 2016, 18:25 PMContrivance Interesting, so the delay between shots/bursts isn't the addition of wind_up + shot/burst duration + wind_down + cooldown, but instead wind_up + shot/burst duration + cooldown, but cooldown can never be less than wind_down. One way to prove this for sure is to set the wind_down to 5 and the cooldown to 4. If wind_down really is the minimum possible cooldown, the weapon will wait 5 seconds. If it's wind_down + cooldown, it will be 9 seconds. 5 or 9 seconds should be pretty easy to spot. Huh, when you put it that way, it makes much more sense. Wind_down calculates after firing and wind_up calculates before firing, adding to each other. Which also proves right. I set the wind_down to 5 and cooldown to 4 and tested it in-game. The greyhound now fires at a rate of 1 round per 9 seconds. Well, sorry for the derp post. I should've read the _ext descriptions more clearly. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Aim and wind down/up?21 Jan 2016, 08:12 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Jan 2016, 04:12 AMContrivance I didn't know it could override cooldown. Can you elaborate on how that works? Well actually it's an assumption from testing my mod a few times, but here's how I got to it. So I have this version of the Greyhound that has a few rounds in its gun instead of just one. I adjusted its cooldown to give it a not so rapid firing rate and readjusted it from time to time. However, I noticed that each adjustment I made wasn't being applied in-game even though the mod was built. So I tried messing with wind_down, noticed that the Greyhound's weapon has a wind_down greater than the shorter cooldown, set the wind_down to 0, and all of a sudden the Greyhound fired at a much faster rate as intended (which I set as 0.5 seconds cooldown rate between shots, versus 0.75 wind_down). Annnnd that's how I got the conclusion. But I'm not sure entirely why this was so. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Aim and wind down/up?20 Jan 2016, 22:52 PM Hi, I was wondering. Since wind_down and wind_up can override a weapon's cooldown state (if the numbers are higher), can any of the numbers in the Aim_ext do the same? In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Strange: Squad can't construct building14 Jan 2016, 04:25 AM Hi need help. So I have this squad that can construct a production building, but the squad needs to reserch a squad_upgrade to unlock the building in the build menu. Makes sense. So here's what I did - Added the squad upgrade to the building's requirement_ext Added the building to the squad's engineering list Added the squad upgrade to the squad Added everything into the game to be used in-game Okay, so that makes sense. But in-game, even after researching the upgrade, the squad still can't build the production building. It has the circle with the diagonal slash (meaning that it can't be constructed). May someone please help me on solving this? In: Modding and Tools

Thread: How to make a squad weapon upgrade clickable multiple times?29 Dec 2015, 04:44 AM Hi, I've been trying to make a squad upgrade clickable multiple times (like, you can research this upgrade more than once) but whatever I'm doing so far is not working. May anyone please help me? In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Modifying strategic/control points resources?25 Dec 2015, 06:16 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Dec 2015, 16:54 PMDreadbot You have to go the army file for each race and edit team_size_point_resource_multiplier section. It has four separate entries I think because that's the maximum players per side (i.e. in a 4v4 game). You'll have to make the same changes to each one, but fortunately the attribute editor supports copy and paste! Thanks man, it worked In: Modding and Tools
