Thread: Problems whit some barrages13 Mar 2024, 05:03 AM To get a turret spotter to appear on a vehicle you will need: 1. The binocular and turret_spotter lines within the ABP. 2. A vehicle that is actually rigged to hold a turret spotter. 3. Add the turret spotter within the ebps/crew_ext and enable. I believe the Churchill can already have a turret spotter in vanilla so look at what the devs did there. Add this into the Stug ABP and the required hardpoints and actions to enable it.

Thread: How to speed up the repair speed of engineers23 Feb 2024, 05:25 AM There are several different repair abilities for each race and some have more than one. Look up the engineer squad and the repair ability they have and change the values within the ability. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Help! when launch the AE,this happened9 Feb 2024, 03:25 AM So with your first question are you able to get into AE or does that error prevent you from doing so? Not sure why it's looking for a coh2\coh2 pathway since that doesn't exist. You could try to make the path and copy the locale folder to see what it does. You can follow this guide on how to set up the mod tools. Note that to get a thumbnail on the workshop you'll have to install the legacy 32 bit version and upload the mod. This only needs to be done once and can be done to a preexisting mod as well. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Mod crashes COH2 on startup.18 Jul 2023, 22:55 PM Sadly there's no easy way to debug that I know of. Here's a rough process of what you can do using the bisection method: 1. Make a backup 2. Start by deleting half of your instances at a time (company of heroes 2/mod projects/your mod/instances) 3. If the mod crashes it is located in the undeleted half, repeat the process until you find the offending instance 4. If the mod doesn't crash it is located in the deleted half The above only works if there's one instance which causes crashing. If there's more then good luck. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Outdated files inside the COH 2 mod builder tool.28 Mar 2023, 06:16 AM The mod tools have been outdated for around 2 years by now. There isn't a way to directly change things that have a "new" entry since AE doesn't see them. Instead use this guide by SneakEye to indirectly remove or change things. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Random Names6 Mar 2023, 15:59 PM There's a few ways to do this but none of them are particularly clean. You'll also run into the issue of having to create a rather large bank of names to prevent duplicates from occurring often. Random_action Random action is what you'll be using to randomize the squads. Each sub action ha a weight which is explained in the description in AE. Add all squads with custom names to this action. 1. Reinforcement ability By using an ability this has the benefit of preserving the rally point. The downside is that it cannot be queued. You can offset this by using more reinforcements to spawn more squads per ability use. 2. Production buildings Buildings, by default, cannot spawn random squads. Instead you'll have to make a dummy squad. In the dummy squad use the random_action then make_dead; the order of actions matter so make sure it's make_dead last. Unfortunately rally points are not preserved as the dummy unit is killed, however this allows for queuing. 3. UI modifier icon Instead of having the randomized names within the squad itself you could have them in a modifier icon (the same kind that are used for buffs). You could even have unique portraits for each soldier and each can be visible within a squad. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Parachute units27 Feb 2023, 21:08 PM Check to see if the paratrooper squad requirements are fulfilled. The requirement_action within flight_ext has validate_all_subactions: true which could be the cause of your problem. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Parachute units26 Feb 2023, 21:37 PM The Paratrooper abilities has several components to it that aren't exactly intuitive. Let's go through the different parts. abilities\aef\modal_ability\dispatch_ability\paratroopers_paradrop_mp paradrop_action The only purpose of this action I think is UI related. It does not have to be changed at all within your cloned ability. air_strike_action This spawns an aircraft squad. The aircraft is actually what creates the paratroopers. sbps\races\aef\vehicles\paradrop_plane\paratroopers_plane_paras Make a clone for this. ebps\races\aef\pm\vehicles\paradrop_plane\pm_aef_airborne_paratroopers_plane_paras Make a clone for this and link it to to the cloned aircraft squad. flight_ext\actions Change the squad_to_spawn to whatever squad you want. There's several requirement_actions so you'll have to clean them up depending on your mod. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Help - get space between walls18 Feb 2023, 21:28 PM There's several variables you can use to change the distance between fence type constructions: construction_ext\spacing_distance This provides spacing between two or more entities. Fence type construction ignores the impass_ext\cant_build so if this value is too small you may end up with some wall segments not placing at all. If you don't care about the walls stacking you can change site_ext\ignore_impass and site_ext\require_all_cells_clear. entity_blueprint_ext\alternative_sua This changes the entity's collision box. It's used for more things than just construction so be aware of that. You can change this to the sua of something else with slightly less X size than the wall. Probably the easiest thing to do would be using the sua of a different wall. Sua dimensions may be viewed within the sua files of art(race).sga or artenvironment.sga with the archive viewer. You may also visually see the collision boxes in World Builder NIS function. site_ext\extra_build_test_footprint As mentioned before. This allows for positive distance between entity placement. Replace Entity If everything else fails you can replace the entity with a different one using construction_ext\on_construction_actions. This would be useful in certain circumstances where you do not want the entities to stack. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: AI Won't Build Some Base Buildings18 Feb 2023, 21:02 PM The AI will choose whatever option within a building that has the highest priority (note this 'priority' is separate from utility and I don't know the specifics of how the AI calculates this). So, for example, when given the option to build a 0 cost upgrade or something like engineers it might choose engineers first. It is for this reason that those hidden AI upgrades should be put in a building that has no other functionality like weapon racks. In: Modding and Tools
