Thread: M1 Garand for Rangers and Paratroopers5 Dec 2016, 19:14 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Dec 2016, 17:18 PMLimaOscarMike that sound great 4 garand 2 carbine for paratrooper and 3 for ranger will do That's exactly was my idea: 4 Garands plus 2 M1 Carbines for Paratroopers (like in the "Band of Brothers" and - which was pretty surprising! - real loadout of the Paratrooper half-squad) and 3 Garands plus 3 Thompsons for Rangers (pretty close to the "Saving Private Ryan'). Jump back to quoted post5 Dec 2016, 18:54 PMCookiezNcreem Editing the abp file should work, unless a patch messed that up. I followed...I believe it was Eliwoods' abp edit tutorial and did this same thing in one of my mods because I had the same gripe with the weapon choice.(I was able to mix carbines, upgrades, and m1 rifles by making a whole different paratrooper entity with a different weapon and then messing with the sbps squad loadout.) I did a similar thing for Sappers, ended up giving them enfield sten mix All described can be done, except for one thing - both Rangers and Paratroopers visually run with empty hands even after editing the *.abp.

Thread: M1 Garand for Rangers and Paratroopers4 Dec 2016, 20:13 PM Historically - the main weapon of both Rangers and Paratroopers was M1 Garand, not M1 Carbine or Thompson. Tried to reflect this in my mod ... no way, both Rangers and Paratroopers are running with empty hands. Editing .abp? Tried, adding the line with Garand, copied from the Rifleman's .abp, gave nothing. Any ideas? In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Hard times with adding the MP-4027 Nov 2016, 09:48 AM Got tired with *.abp tinkering and merely used the Osttruppen model (only model) for MP-40 Partisans :-)). It is somewhat far-fetched, but - it did the trick. Who's got a better solution - may throw a stone at me :-)) In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Random MGs for German factions21 Nov 2016, 19:10 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2016, 18:59 PMVuther That's a great idea which should work. Instead of making it a spawner item, make it a call-in ability within the building. Hmmm ... really, it could work. Just let me itemize - "call-in ability inside the building" is like one for dispatching the Captain or Major for USF? In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Random MGs for German factions14 Nov 2016, 20:28 PM Actually, topic. Managed to make the MGs, obtained by Grenadiers and Panzergrenadiers via respective upgrades, random - either MG-34 or MG-42 with 50/50 probability (using the add_slot_item as action_choice in random_action). But my attempt to do the same trick with HMG teams (i.e. to make them having the MG-34 or MG-42 HMG randomly) using the add_to_squad_loadout as action_choice part of random_action failed - the team merely appeared on the battlefield without any HMG, with just their MP-40. Have already tried playing around with .abp files - still nothing. Any ideas? Have anybody done this successfully? In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Problems with playtesting the changes made in the mod3 Nov 2016, 16:28 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Nov 2016, 00:42 AMeliw00d Did you check your warnings.log? Errors for loading .sga are always found there. I don't see why that file would cause trouble, unless you have syntax errors inside of it. Have you tried using it as is, without editing it? Assumingly - it was because I extracted to my Data\art\bla-bla-bla foler not .abp alone, but entire folder (with all these .mua, .rgd, .rgt and so on). In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Problems with playtesting the changes made in the mod2 Nov 2016, 21:35 PM UPD. Problem solved. Somewhat per rectum, but solved. The problem was in attempt to use the refugee_male_01.abp, which for some strange reason is not allowed to be used in mods. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Problems with playtesting the changes made in the mod2 Nov 2016, 18:29 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Nov 2016, 14:36 PMeliw00d Check the warnings.log in "Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes 2" for errors related to your mod. Also, when you build your mod, does the timestamp on the .sga in the \mods folder match when you built it? If not, try deleting the one in \mods and copy the .sga from your mod folder and paste it in \mods. Looks like the Mod Tools work properly - the changes are saved, the rebuild process goes more or less normal ("more or less" means, that first time to rebuild ends with "Folder not empty" error, which I nevermind and do it again, this time without problems). Time stamps of SGAs are identic. The point is, that the game itself does not see my SGA, situated in "My documents". I reinstalled the Mod Tools, reinstalled the game itself. After reinstalling the game it got even worse - now I cannot even unsubscribe unneeded skins and even delete my mod from the Steam Workshop. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Problems with playtesting the changes made in the mod1 Nov 2016, 15:22 PM Actually, topic. Assumingly after the recent (October, the 25th) update of both the game and Mod Tools I cannot playtest the changes made to my mods. Changes are normally saved in the AE, mod is rebuilt (at least *.sga files are updated), but the games are for some strange and unknown reason launched with the last version uploaded to the Steam Workshop. Plus - sometimes the game tries to take a skin as a tuning pack. Has anybody encountered similar things? Any solutions? UPD. After launching the game and attempt to play the custom game with my mod the SGA in the \my games\Company Of Heroes 2\mods\tuning gets replaced by one from the Steam Workshop. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Hard times with adding the MP-4028 Oct 2016, 16:10 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Oct 2016, 23:39 PMeliw00d It's no different than editing an existing one, just a different path in the animator field of the entity_blueprint_ext. The point is, that there should be all these .rgb, .rgt, .mua and so on for this newly created .abp. How can I create them? Does copying and renaming work? In: Modding and Tools
