Thread: General bugs & issues collection27 Mar 2020, 17:18 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Mar 2020, 16:30 PMSpielführer Afaik even with toggle activated before entering the building it will also shoot on inf That's the current implementation. I was talking about my own, which works properly - the Raketen does not shoot at vehicles when garrisoned, but its crew will still shoot at enemy infantry in range. You can even switch between "Prioritize Vehicles" and "Free Fire" while inside. It's not a complex fix, so I'm wondering whether there are some side effects unknown to me or whether it's a design decision. In: COH2 Bugs

I'm quite certain it can be fixed with the modding tools available. In fact, I just tried fixing it myself and the toggle works fine in garrisons. Is there some unintended behaviour I don't know about or is it a "design choice" to have them fire at everything in garrisons? In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: UKF Medics26 Mar 2020, 19:39 PM I'd like to point out that when healing manually, hovering over a wounded squad and right clicking on them requires you to specifically click on a damaged entity in the squad. For example, if you're in a situation where 3 of the squad's models are at full health, but fourth one is not, you'll have to specifically right-click on that one guy to heal them. Otherwise no action will be taken. Interestingly, if you use the ability through the menu or shortcut, you can left-click on any entity in the squad and the medics will heal them properly.

Thread: How to pause a cooldown? (infiltration grenades bug)25 Mar 2020, 07:05 AM There is "required_ability_recharged" requirement that could be used to replicate this effect I think, but sadly its template seem incomplete - it only has fields for reason and ui_name, but no reference to actual ability. It's not used anywhere, likely because it's broken in the first place. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: How to pause a cooldown? (infiltration grenades bug)24 Mar 2020, 21:21 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Mar 2020, 17:47 PMSneakEye Indeed in requirements_self_recharge. I used: required_not > required_in_state > in_combat_since: 10. Indeed, it resets the timer completely instead of stopping it. I doubt there's a way of getting around that, unless I'm missing something. There's a hacky method of simulating that effect however - creating an always_on ability (or adding proper actions to squad's action_apply), that adds 9999 seconds (close enough to infinity) to the ability's recharge timer when the squad is in combat and that also subtracts same amount of seconds when the squad is not in combat. That's the best I got so far. Funny thing is, I also remember this ability working properly. Wonder when it got broken in the first place. EDIT: Man, I must have been tired when I first wrote that "hack", because a day later I understand that it won't work as intended at all. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: How to pause a cooldown? (infiltration grenades bug)24 Mar 2020, 17:01 PM Out of curiosity - how did you manage to stop the timer when the squad is out of combat? A requirement in ability's requirements_self_recharge? In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Winter balance mod 2020 V1.324 Mar 2020, 15:49 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Mar 2020, 14:38 PMJibberJabberJobber As far as I know Osttruppen have a permanent x0.5 accuracy modifier for all their weapons, but gain a x3.0 accuracy modifier in cover for just their Kars. This means their Kars have 150% accuracy in cover (about the same dps as Grens squadwise) and their LMG has 50% accuracy in cover. I tested it a single time some time ago, the LMG performs about the same in and out of cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsOOdDuRlh4 I personally find the LMG lackluster for requiring T4 tech, but the upcoming -2mp reinforce cost could help a bit. Would like to see their LMG have 75% accuracy in cover though. This is correct. The LMG has exactly the same performance in and out of cover, as the x3 accuracy bonus applies only to their standard Kar98. It's interesting to rembember that their x0.5 accuracy modifier applies to all weapons they might pick up. If you want to pick up a dropped Panzerschreck/Bazooka/Piat with them to make them into a make-shift AT squad, then you're better off using Pioneers for that. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New Commander concepts.24 Mar 2020, 14:02 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Mar 2020, 13:46 PMachpawel Difficult not to agree with you here. I just would love to see the battlefield with many of those vehicles, but you are probably right that 60 fuel earlier may be just enough. Have you thought of call in osttroppen models as volksturm units to add them somewhere in the doctrine? I actually got the campaign refugee models for those (dude in green jackets), but while they would fit thematically ("Desperate Measures" after all), they wouldn't really fit gameplay-wise. As is, this commander is primarily about pumping out and supporting cheap and unreliable armour, secondarily about being on the defensive when you repair them. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New Commander concepts.24 Mar 2020, 13:40 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Mar 2020, 13:24 PMachpawel It is really cool Looking at the stats, though, I'd make this panzer actually a bit cheaper than ost p4 fuelwise (100 probably) to make players really produce lots of them and those longer repairs would make it not a great investment in the long run. If possible I would even make it unrepairable above 80-90% to make it even more fun (if that is possible to code of course). It already arrives 60 fuel earlier, because it doesn't require Panzer Authorization. I considered making it cheaper, but figured that in combination with it arriving earlier than any other medium armour would make it too powerful. I wanted to avoid giving it different stats, as the general rule of thumb for reused vehicles in CoH2 (OH Panzer IV, M10, M5 Halftrack, etc.) is that they have the same base stats. Making it unrepairable above certain threshold is probably impossible - a better solution would be to just give it 80-90% HP of regular Panzer IV, but as I mentioned before, it would go against the rule of thumb. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in detail! In: COH2 Gameplay

Jump back to quoted post23 Mar 2020, 20:05 PMachpawel Just great There should be more of such doctrines for OKW. Thank you for your kind words. In the past I've made a "Engineer Combat Company" for USF, but it's been almost a year ago, so it's outdated. I'm thinking about making a commander for each faction, so that leaves UKF, OH and Soviets (even if the last two have a metric ton of them already). In: COH2 Gameplay
