Thread: SneakEye Mod questions27 Nov 2019, 11:08 AM I got the animation working and I can't tell you how excited that made me! I fixed all of these problems except I still can't seem to figure out why the Ostheer is getting access to the OKW command Panzer. "Create an ability which spawns that wreck (spawn_entity), kills the structure and finally adds 1000 hp to the wreck" I got stuck when you said to create an ability. I guess that part will have to wait. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Commander ability modding Problems27 Nov 2019, 04:55 AM Is there anything different I need to do for timed abilities? I've been having a hell of a time trying to modify the soviet ability: For Mother Russia. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: SneakEye Mod questions26 Nov 2019, 10:29 AM I can't seem to get the ranged changed for the le_ig and I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that it has a UI range (represented by a yellow circle). I managed to change the sturmtiger range after I changed its ability and weapon profile range. On an unrelated note I figured out how to add active abilities (ebps) and upgrade abilities (sbps). I added a panzerfaust attack to obersoldaten but I'm not sure I want to keep it. For one there is no animation so it looks silly. The ability also was only working when you click the ability on the right side of the screen; the hotkey didn't work and I'm sure it is because I didn't click something somewhere. I'm getting really close to finishing (or close enough) with two factions so I might go ahead and publish it soon. It took me ages to figure out why every faction had the option for ambush camouflage on their HMG (but fixing that led to helping me understand how to add upgrades). The only outstanding errors I need to fix are the Elefant call in still being displayed and the OKW command panzer being available for the Ostheer. I saw a notice in the files about okw base unpacking and I will give that a go when I get back to modding. Being able to move the trucks around is another cool feature I plan to steal from your mod.

Thread: SneakEye Mod questions26 Nov 2019, 00:22 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Nov 2019, 17:58 PMSneakEye The paradrop action adds an upgrade when the squad is landed. The squad has its capture ability disabled while that upgrade is not present. That's a really good thing to know how to fix (it will likely fix some problems I would otherwise have with the Americans). I think I have changed the direction of my mod slightly and I want there to be a significant difference with commander choices (even though the armies will have several universal powers). I decided not to use Fallschirmjagers as a default unit so that they can be more special when they are available. Jump back to quoted post25 Nov 2019, 17:58 PMSneakEye Yes indeed, it depends on the weapon and the ability range both. The ability has a setting "range" which should be edited. Looking in the editor taking the le_ig as an example I had already found the weapon profile stats and edited them. Now I am looking at the abilities tab (under mortar barrage ability folder) and I see there are many listings for the le_ig. I should be able to sort out which is which looking at the ebps reference. And I see it led to a UI reticle listing that I did not know existed. I suspect I will need to edit that as well. In order to increase the range on the le_ig I will probably need to modify a clone and modify a new mortar profile for the 120mm mortar. Jump back to quoted post25 Nov 2019, 17:58 PMSneakEye It seems that the ability was changed since I cloned it, sorry for the confusion. That made it work; thank you so much! I think I'm slowly learning how to do this... In: Modding and Tools
Thread: SneakEye Mod questions24 Nov 2019, 23:03 PM I did however get the transfer order to work! It seems to work with normal troops but when I tried using it on a Raketenwerfer it took the weapon team off the weapon and then they became unusable. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: SneakEye Mod questions24 Nov 2019, 18:36 PM After a great deal of effort I finally got the vehicle caps removed for the OKW (it seems they are tied to the dispatch abilities directly). I tried to add Fallschirmjagers to the OKW hospital but could not get it to work (and I don't really understand why). The unit I added ended up being a sort of Ghost as it was not able to capture territory. Any idea why that might happen? I also tried modifying the range on some weapons and I couldn't make that work either (things like the Sturmtiger and Le.IG support gun). I found the weapon listing for these units and tried modifying the range (making sure to modify the far distance as well as the max). Is there an ability limitation as well? Perhaps the barrage ability of these weapons? In: Modding and Tools
Thread: SneakEye Mod questions23 Nov 2019, 07:55 AM I really love many elements in your (172) mod as you have really innovative ideas. Would you be willing to share how you made some of those parts possible? I understand completely if you want to keep them to make your mod be special. If anything is super complicated and requires more than just the editor I probably don't want to know. How did you incorporate the transfer orders to the various headquarters? This is probably my favorite element as I hate making equipment and having to blow it up or kill off squad members I don't need anymore. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Questions about modding commander abilities22 Nov 2019, 16:21 PM This is a reply more for me than anyone else but I hope someone else might find it useful. 1. Go to the commander tab (under inventory). 2. Find a commander ability in an army list you want to replace; in my case this was ambush_camouflage. 3. Find a commander ability in the list you want to replace the power with (light_artillery_support). 4. Find this power in the abilities tab under the commander ability folder and clone it (light_support_artillery). 5. Delete upgrade reference to commander ability in requirements. 6. Add new requirements making sure to change usage to usage and display. 7. Change to a new requirement on the upgrade tab of the editor (you can get there by goto reference) Example: Encirclement, Storm Tactics and Jaeger infantry doctrine all have ambush camouflage (which is being added as a default upgrade so must be replaced) Encirclement and Storm Tactics will receive light artillery barrage but the third commander already has this ability and will receive railway artillery instead. The replaced list item #6 for JID becomes: required in any list 1. required player upgrade : attributes\upgrade\german\commander\ability\railway_artillery_support 2. required player upgrade :attributes\upgrade\german\commander\passive\jaeger_command_squad_mp The replacement for the other doctrines required any in list 1. required all in list : required player upgrade: stuka bombing run upgrade required player upgrade: howitzer 105 emplacement 2. required all in list : required player upgrade:crush the pocket 3. required player upgrade: light_artillery_support In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Commander ability modding Problems19 Nov 2019, 21:25 PM To get it finally working (anyone reading this later) I made a modification in the upgrade portion of the editor. File path: germnan/commander/ability/ambush_camou_package Deleted requirement #2 which required the commander upgrade for the camouflage package. Before that I had removed the requirements of the abilities tab on the editor and ended up with G43 rifle upgrade on the grenadier (which is not what I wanted). In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Commander ability modding Problems19 Nov 2019, 12:20 PM Thank you so much... I don't have any more time to tinker with it right now but I think you've given me all the info I need to make it work. You are an incredible help! In: Modding and Tools
