Hi bigben266: I think what you ask for is not possible with the actual CoH2 tools.
Maybe another moder can give you more info about that.

@Sn4rk Hi, lets me help you a bit:

a. Skins: all vehicles have a skin extension in his "ebps files". The vanilla elements mostly dont have defined his skin but you can manually redirect this skin using the "skin_summer" and "skin_winter" in the "ui_ext"

What do you need to do is to "set true" to "skin_pack_override" and define a skin. The skin could be a vanilla skin from the relic servers or one of your own ones created by a skin pack. All those skins use name to identify them, and you just need to point it correctly in your ebps to work correctly.
As an example:

Vanilla ones from relic servers:
british_0011_summer
british_0011_winter

Skins from one of our skin packs created for "Starbuck" on of the best skinners in the community:
4a167bb423654fd6be7a0d8c6b7f9f25_summer
4a167bb423654fd6be7a0d8c6b7f9f25_winter

b. Bulletins & Commanders

You have two options here, one is to use SCAR and remove them in your Win Condition Pack and other way is to locate in your tunning pack all those elements and block them manually. I did them both because in the early stage of Wikinger we dont use SCAR for those things.
Then how to do it:

1. Via Tunning pack: locate the bulleting bonus or Commander ability in vanilla elements, as examples:

Bulleting:
Categories/intel_bulletin and check his reward_upgrade

Upgrade reward:
attributes\upgrade\intel_bulletins\artillery\b4\scatter_b4

Clone the element identical (dont change anythying in it) and save/build. After that remove the elements in the "action" extension of your new one and save/build again. Now in your mod this vanilla element will exist but it will not perform any action or bonus. The player can pick the bulleting but nothing will happens.


Commander ability:
abilities\aef\modal_ability\commander_ability\artillery_155mm

With the commander ability you will need to hide the ability to avoid the player selection. Then basically when you are starting a game the player will pick a commander but you will hide his abilities and the player will be not able to use them. How do you do that:

Clone the ability identical and save/build. After that in the UI position set (-1). This way the ability will NOT appear for selection. Again save/build.

2. Via SCAR in your WCP:

permitted_categories = commander + intel_bulletin + skin_pack + vehicle_decal + fatality

Just remove the ones you dont want.

I hope it could help you

Hi again mod community:

I am trying to have 250-1 halftrack where the infantry inside can shot. The actual model 251-1 with the canopy not support passenger animation.

Ægion told me the "Walking Stuka" support passenger animation and its works. Now I am trying to remove the rocket launchers from it to have a working model.

The question quite simple: Is this thing possible ? if the answer is yes then the second question is which could be the animation code to remove it ?

Like always thanks a lot in advance
