Thread: resources layout15 Sep 2017, 00:14 AM Great! Out of curiosity, were you asking about where to put certain resources points, (Standard, fuel, muni, or VP) or were you curious about laying out all the territory sectors on the map? (Cap circles, cutoffs, etc)? In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: Need help to kill Advanced Emplacement Regiment14 Sep 2017, 20:01 PM 16.44 hans get one of his isg decrewed. he saw flare for 5sec but didn't mind. he could have tried to move it but he didn't. he could set up isg on slighty differents spot but he does not. guess why ? he is bored it's so static, he got nothing to micro, he isn't into it. there is just no need for him to push his talent. This is the core of the issue. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: open space in maps14 Sep 2017, 02:34 AM Scorch splats and vehicle tracks are always an option. Splats and splines can offer a whole lot of variation on an open space without affecting terrain or gameplay, with notable exceptions (craters, road_asphalt, etc). Utilizing transparency and color as well as size and rotation can give you a lot of potential variations. By the way, what you have going looks great so far. I've always liked that broken cobblestone spline you're using on the road, I just never end up using it myself. Without more context of your overall designs for the map, I can't really offer a whole lot outside general advice. In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: FG-42 animation bug on other model?14 Sep 2017, 00:43 AM Have you tried this? https://steamcommunity.com/app/231430/discussions/0/364040166684066666/ I mean, that is for the weapon being invisible, but if you haven't tried that, it could be worth a shot. Cross-faction weapons are a little wonky. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: UI Position. I find my self confused....14 Sep 2017, 00:42 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2017, 23:07 PMMoocats Usage means the ability will appear but not be able to be used until requirements are met. Display means that the icon won't appear until the requirements are met. So you can set a 'display' requirement to say, having battle phase 1 researched, and a 'usage' requirement be having T2 built for instance. Effect: the ability appears once BP1 is researched, but can't be used until T2 is built. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: UI Position. I find my self confused....13 Sep 2017, 14:21 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2017, 07:44 AMSneakEye The positions at the right, 11 - 34, are from the selected structure or units. The positions at the center are global from the player. I added a custom ability in the commander row once by adding it in the categorie 'army' > 'abilities'. So these positions don't conflict. Although, I think the abilities in the row above the commander abilities are positioned with SCAR scripts and that's not possible in a tuning pack. There it is, a much better explanation.

Thread: UI Position. I find my self confused....13 Sep 2017, 01:44 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2017, 00:34 AMMoocats Hi thanks for the response Francis I appreciate it. I'm not exactly sure I understand what you mean here; can you elaborate further? Many thanks Side note; I remember once playing a version of Vire River Valley that had the ability to place forward HQ's and it had the old school German elite troops instant vet thing. These where in the row above the commander abilities; so position 11 and 21. This was specific to the map so I know it's possible to display things in that location I just need to get on top of how. So if you look under the different extensions under any given ability or upgrade, you'll see 'requirements'. Under a requirement there will be 'reason'. There is 'usage', 'display', and 'display and usage'. This could be the culprit if there's a requirement that is preventing the display of the icon. It's worth checking. It's been the bane of my existence before. Also, have you tried setting the ui_position value to 0, or kept it to single digits? It's be worth a shot if you haven't. (I think a 'ones' value of 0 is supposed to be the commander panel, but I'm not sure.) In: Modding and Tools
Thread: UI Position. I find my self confused....12 Sep 2017, 23:42 PM I think that description is just copy and pasted for every ui_position entry, even though not everything can be on the command card, etc. There's also "ui_group" but I don't think that applies here. An ebps has a value range of 1-34. An ability has a value range through 160. I think you can get an ability to show up on the command panel, but just like the King Tiger call-in, you have to have a commander chosen for it to show up. This is also why call-ins are abilities that spawn units, rather than 'building' a unit like an ebps with a spawner extension. I know that position gets messed with depending on the value of requirements that dictate the display of the UI though. You could check and see if the '80' and '81' abilities don't have a requirement for usage and/or display that could be preventing you from seeing it or it coming up properly. I had modded a sort of pseudo wehrmacht vet that were supposed to overlay on the same UI slot, but the icons kept appearing in the nearest available slot, rather than disappearing and being replaced. I think the requirements I'd set for the icons appearing had conflicts which made things wonky. In: Modding and Tools

Thread: Unofficial Revamp mod (EFA & WFA & Brits)10 Sep 2017, 16:54 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Sep 2017, 09:32 AMMr.Smith So far, in every mod game we've played people were building their core-army light vehicles and then called Greyhound as an icing on the cake to deliver the killing blow. That was before we swapped Stuart/AAHT locations though. That's what people were doing after testing the new Greyhound stats? I'd be curious if people are maintaining Greyhound usage with the Stuart/AAHT swap. In: COH2 Gameplay
