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?

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).

The patch did not add new models, but skins for existing blueprints instead. Therefor all default skins are still available. The mod tools are very outdated (April 2020), that is why the skins are not applied in those entities.

The skinnames can be found in the Archive Viewer:

Set the names in ebps/ui_ext:


Animator_set_state is an action type that can be added in action_apply_ext in ebps.


All new skins:

Cavalry Riflemen:
blueprint: armies\aef\soldiers\rifleman\rifleman
skin_summer: cavalry_summer
skin_winter: cavalry_winter

This looks good, only one step seems to be missing:

Add another animator_set_state in the upgrade.
state_machine_name: turret_spotter_state
do_action_state_name: on
undo_action_state_name: off

A few things I can think of:

Move the 'veterancy_action' from sbps to ebps and use a 'change_target_action' with 'change_target_type' is 'squad'. The ebps action will not be runned again upon recrewing.

Or put the 'veterancy_action' in a requirement_action and add an upgrade to the entity (set 'apply_to_entities_in_squad' to 'true'). Then check in the requirement to not have that entity_upgrade so it will only run once.

Disabling disembark is also do-able.
Clone abilities\aef\timed_ability\vehicle_decrew_generic_mp and add the requirement 'not' and in there 'required_unit_type' with 'unit_type' is 'tiger_ace'. There are 3 other decrew abilities, you have to edit them all:
abilities\aef\timed_ability\vehicle_decrew_m20_crew_mp
abilities\aef\timed_ability\vehicle_decrew_medics_mp
abilities\aef\timed_ability\vehicle_decrew_vehicle_crew_mp

This a bug from the 64bit version of the game. Change your game to 32bit and update the mod will add the thumbnail. Future updates from 64bit will keep the thumbnail.

Right Click Company of Heroes 2 on Steam
Select Properties
Navigate to the Betas Tab
Select “legacy_32bit” from the drop town
Close the Properties window
Your game should now patch to the legacy version
