Thread: Attribute editor racebps/commanders broke mod3 Oct 2018, 17:53 PM Modifying the Racebps crashes the game for some odd reason, possibility because of a loading issue. You'll have to get by without having those. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Close the Pocket didn't work properly19 Sep 2018, 18:55 PM Are you entirely sure that the points were cut-off? You can usually tell if the territory is flashing on the minimap. Having a forward HQ wouldnt matter, as it doesnt generate supply, only the main HQ does. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Singleplayer mission scripts working19 Sep 2018, 18:52 PM Its a bit hard to read this way. Could you send me both the main scar file and the objective file so I could take a proper look at it? In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Alternate Settings for Future CoH Games19 Sep 2018, 18:50 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2018, 21:28 PMGI John 412 I wasn’t saying to use purposely older stuff for balance reasons, I was saying that you can implement diverse weapon profiles withsi auto only rifles because that was what was actually in service at the time. The US army didn’t issue M16s wide scale until well into the 1970’s except in Vietnam. US troops in Europe were mostly still armed with M14’s for various reasons. It really depends on the time you set it in. A 60’s setting would be mostly M14’s while an 80’s setting would be virtually only M16’s. 70’s would be a mix. Aye I can see that, and I agree, it would provide some interesting elements. Depending on the setting, M14's could be a slot-item as a designated marksman or something of the like, or the main weapon for your basic infantry squad. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Remember Direct Control from Tales of Valor?19 Sep 2018, 18:47 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2018, 17:18 PMTobis I have PTSD flashbacks of my cover being destroyed so one model of my squad runs all the way around a wall spanning the whole map. Aye same here. That was bloody annoying, but it doesn't happen as frequently, or at all, in CoH2, since they updated the system to consider directional cover. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Alternate Settings for Future CoH Games17 Sep 2018, 16:25 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Sep 2018, 14:24 PMGI John 412 Featured weapons would be lots of diverse and not necessarily “OP” modern weapons. Sure AKM’s and M16’s would be more powerful at close range than classic CoH infantry weapons, but the vast majority of troops in the US still had M14’s, which were primarily used in semi auto I think modern weapons could be easily represented without resorting to mainly using the old semi-auto stuffs, or keeping all the automatic stuff as upgrades. I would love to see hundreds of AK's and M16's in use. With CoH's damage model, they wouldn't really be OP either, as damage values in CoH are nowhere near, and should probably not get near Men of War levels. Also; To the Korean War guy, I do agree that that war needs some more attention and is ripe for vidya games, but the not-so-balance friendly nature of the two different factions would be hard to do in a RTS game. American Pershings going up against surplus T-34s? That would be a slaughter (as it was IRL). In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Remember Direct Control from Tales of Valor?17 Sep 2018, 16:17 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2018, 21:00 PMDiogenes5 Kind of like how units auto-move to cover and squad AI is terrible if you have higher micro because you units just stutter and don't fire as you try to position them perfectly. Mate, squad-ai has been removed from CoH2 (for a long time) along with the direct control ability. Also, I gotta say, squad-ai isnt bad if done right. It was just annoying in VCoH because there was no delay before it activated, and when it did, the movement range was too high. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Singleplayer mission scripts working17 Sep 2018, 16:04 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2018, 19:47 PMde111de but nothing changed. It might also be worth telling that when I start the mission everything is frozen and FOW is disabled until I pause and de-pause the game. Ahhhh there it is. Thats important, that means there's an error in one of your scripts. You can see where in the console. Press control-shift-tab all at the same time, and use page up/down on the numpad to scroll. Look for something along the lines of (Check script syntax!). In that report, it should tell you the line of your code the error is present. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Singleplayer mission scripts working16 Sep 2018, 09:34 AM Ah, it might be that you haven't done an on-init function to actually call the scripts. This is something from one of my scenarios. Put this under the setup-players, and just change the function names to what you have, and it should execute. `function OnInit() print("Initializing mission...") --[[ SET RESTRICTIONS ]] Mission_Restrictions() --[[ SET MODIFIERS ]] Mission_Modifiers() --[[ SET ABILITIES ]] Mission_Abilities() --[[ MISSION START ]] Mission_Start() --[[ REGISTER OBJECTIVES ]] -- Main obj INIT_MainOBJ() -- Sub objectives INIT_TakeBeachSOBJ() print("Mission initialization finished.") end Scar_AddInit(OnInit)` In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Modding Ideas Q&A10 Sep 2018, 12:08 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Sep 2018, 11:30 AMPlanet Smasher Have you tried giving the entity the infrared StG as its default weapon and then giving it its "normal" weapon as a slot item? Aye, if the StG isnt in direct use, the battery-pack is hidden. Giving it another normal weapon results in overlap. In: Modding and Tools
