hi there:

an advice for you, removing the critical from sniper is not a good idea. Why ? because if you do that, then you will have a normal rifle.

I balanced the sniper in mod in other way.

a. The most important, drasticaly decreased his accuracy at short range.
b. Aim times & Cooldown times, play with those values a bit

If you do it in the correct way you will have a balance sniper.

Hi to all:

I am trying to use MP44 (no infra red) and MP44 (infrared) with the "honor guard" blue print.
My idea is to have two different squad using the same blue print (honor guard) but:
a. One armed with MP44 infra red
b. Second one armed with MP44 NO infra red

My main problem is: I can configure the honor_guard.abp file to support only one weapon.

Honor Guard NO infra red:

model =
{
"..\\..\\..\\Common\\CompleteMotionTree.abp",
"..\\..\\..\\common\\engineer.abp",
"..\\..\\weapons\\west_german_rifle_kar98\\west_german_rifle_kar98",
"..\\..\\..\\west_german\\weapons\\smg_mp44_default\\smg_mp44_default",

-- Main Mesh
"honour_guard",
}

Honor guard: Infra red:

{
"..\\..\\..\\Common\\CompleteMotionTree.abp",
"..\\..\\..\\common\\engineer.abp",
"..\\..\\weapons\\west_german_rifle_kar98\\west_german_rifle_kar98",
"..\\..\\weapons\\smg_mp44_infrared\\smg_mp44_infrared",

-- Main Mesh
"honour_guard",
}

I tried to mix the configurations trying to have both weapons supported by the "Honor Guard" blue print but weapons disappear.

I tried this one:

model =
{
"..\\..\\..\\Common\\CompleteMotionTree.abp",
"..\\..\\..\\common\\engineer.abp",
"..\\..\\weapons\\west_german_rifle_kar98\\west_german_rifle_kar98",
"..\\..\\..\\west_german\\weapons\\smg_mp44_default\\smg_mp44_default",
"..\\..\\weapons\\smg_mp44_infrared\\smg_mp44_infrared",

-- Main Mesh
"honour_guard",
}

And also this one:

model =
{
"..\\..\\..\\Common\\CompleteMotionTree.abp",
"..\\..\\..\\common\\engineer.abp",
"..\\..\\weapons\\west_german_rifle_kar98\\west_german_rifle_kar98",
"..\\..\\..\\weapons\\smg_mp44_default\\smg_mp44_default",
"..\\..\\weapons\\smg_mp44_infrared\\smg_mp44_infrared",

-- Main Mesh
"honour_guard",
}

In both cases, I use the correct weapon extension. Infra red for infra red and so on.
I saw the Infra Red MP44 has in his aim table/visibility name/mp44_infrared_visible

I do not know if it is possible to have this two weapons in the same blue print. If it is possible then I want to know what I am doing wrong.

Thank you very much in advance.

Could you add build icons ?

Hi guys, I am working in a B-4 Emplacements. I already put a lot of weapons in the british pit but I am having problems with this particular one.
My main problem is the crew animation. I do not know the correct values to make them appear.
Lets me explain better:

An AT gun like Zis-3 or Pak 40 need a gunner and a loader. Then I have no problem with the crew extension of the gun and the pit.
In my crew_ext:

Example of a Zis-3 AT gun in a british pit

1 Role:

animator_bp: armies\soviet\soldiers\at_gun\at_gun
role_name: Gunner
sync_action_name: attach_17pounder_gunner
(there are other values but this ones are the important ones)

2 Role:

animator_bp: armies\soviet\soldiers\at_gun\at_gun
role_name: Loader
sync_action_name: attach_17pounder_gunner
(there are other values but this ones are the important ones)

Those values work perfect with AT weapons or other weapons who use gunner and loader. Units more complex like B-4 203mm do not work with those values.
This unit have 5 crew memebers with diferent roles.

What I did ?

I went to the B-4 gun ebps (original one) and tried some values from the team weapon extension (of the gun). Sadly I failed.

What I think ?

I think I have the correct values for the role list of the B-4
With 5 crew memebers the roles are:

Role 1: gunner1
Role 2: loader1
Role 3: loader2
Role 4: crew1
Role 5: gunner2

The animator bp: armies\soviet\soldiers\at_gun\at_gun
(for all of them)

But, the problem is the "sync_action_name"
Here is the key of my problem. I do not know which value I should put here.

I know this is not an easy question, but maybe someone with most experience than me could give me a hand on it.

Thank you very much on advance

I can help you. Ok lets go:

. More accuracy:
In your squad veterancy extension---veterancy rank---squad action---apply modifiers action---modifiers (add +)accuracy weapon modifier
Values:

Application type: Apply to weapon
Usage type: personally I prefer "multiplication"
Values: "add your value here"
Other values depend of you.

. Auto heal:
Here I prefer to manage this value using a requirement action in the squad action apply ext of sbps file.

I can give you here the values but it is more simple to you to go to the obersoldaten sbps and take a closer look in his squad action apply ext.

. Recived accuracy:
In your squad veterancy extension---veterancy rank---squad action---apply modifiers action---modifiers (add +) received accuracy modifier
Values:

Application type: Apply to squad
Usage type: personally I prefer "multiplication"
Values: "add your value here"
Other values depend of you.

. Weapon cooldown sould be something similar. It is another modifier and it is in the same path:

In your squad veterancy extension---veterancy rank---squad action---apply modifiers action---modifiers (add +) cooldown weapon modifier

. About numbers:
+25% more:
In your usage type value you must set: multiplication
In your value you must set: 1.25

-25% less:
In your usage type value you must set: multiplication
In your value you must set: -1.25

. About grenade range, well it is more difficult. Maybe you need to create a new grenade ability with more range and then give this new ability a veterancy requirement (for example level 2). You must also rework your basic grenade ability with a veterancy requirement too (for example level 1).
Then one ability will be available to vet level 1 and the second one will be available on level 2. Something like that.

I hope it could help you.
