Thread: Adding Forward HQ Abilities and Upgrades?2 Nov 2017, 22:15 PM Hi modders: This is my personal experience with FHQ. I have this feature in Wikinger mod. I took the vanilla ability and do some extra modding work with it. The ability to convert buildings is a target ability and you could add it to any squad. But if you want this thing work properly you need to do extra modding work. What I did ? a. I cloned every single building in vanilla content to work with them in the best way b. I modded in each buidling the repair extension. In there I added medics instead repair pioneers (for all factions). Also added my own medics and tweak the number of them and repair raidous c. Also I added a retreat point ability on them using the conversion ability itself d. You could add buildable units in those FHQ. There is two ways to do it: 1. Adding reinforce abilities in the ability itself 2. In the army ext you have an option "field support production style. In there you could add spawn items for your FHQ. I am also experiment with the FHQ because they can be reverted doing right click on them for certain time, but I have not time to finish this feature. My idea is to do something like Coh1. I hope this info could help you. Regards Olhausen In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Force reload problems19 Oct 2017, 13:36 PM Hi again guys, sorry for the late answer. I was trying to fix the feature many times and I tried your advices in many way. Sadly I was not be able to solve the problem because of many factors. I will go by steps: a. ZombiFrancis: The MG 42 incendiary rounds is a timed ability. My timed HVAP rounds works like a charm, the problem is when I try to do the same with a "target ability". In the target ability the force reload not works sadly. b. Ægion Aim: times & wind upt times not works. I use different times but not affect the use of the slot item during the execution of the ability c. Luigie: You advice works pretty good generally talking but the big problem is in the gameplay. Basically the use of the delay times generate big problems. Why ? Because in Coh2 the reverse is "terrible" and a vehicle can scape in a blink of an eye. Then a delay before the target ability generate a bad gameplay problem. I use realistic reload time for all my vehicles and delays up to 4 seconds and a vanilla reverse of "warp 9.9" is equal to buggy ability and very bad gameplay. Here I left my best option so far: Then in conclusion I reworked my Germans APCR rounds to timed abilities and now they works ok but I still have the problem of certain tank abilitites like "Tiger long shot". I think I will solve the problem not with a reload. Thanks again for your time Regards Olhausen In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Force reload problems13 Oct 2017, 10:38 AM Hi comuninty: I am having problems to perfom a force reload action. Lets me explain myself better. I cloned a vanilla target ability to perform an APCR shot. There is many examples in vanilla content, like "Stug III critical shot". I am putting here the ability to show you better: What is my problem ? Well I reworked Wikinger to have realistic reload times for all his vehicles and this particular ability perform an instant shot when you activate it, and the unit can perform a double shot. Shot normal --> Shot APCR instantly Then I tryied to fix it in the follow ways: a. Force reload action in "start self action" b. Force reload action in "start target action" Sadly the force reload action not work. Its works ok in "end self action" but not at the start of the target action. Could someone give me a tip or some information to fix my problem. Thanks a lot in advance Olhausen In: Modding and Tools

Thread: Question about UI6 Oct 2017, 10:03 AM Hi community: I have some questions about UI. Basically I need to know how the UI system works regarding symbology. Lets me explain better with a picture. I know the symbols up there are related to the sbps file in the "squad_ui_ext". In "Wikinger mod" we edited a lot of them but we are having problems with some of them and we have a few doubts. My questions are: a. What determines wether a symbol is in the first or second row ? and How can I mod that ? b. Do the symbols that appear in the upper side of the screen work only with sbps ? or could it be moddable for ebps also ? c. I built a bunker entity and now I want to give it a symbol. Then we created an sbps for it and tried in many ways to add a symbol but we failed. The idea is this symbol should appear in the upper side of the screen to be selected in a easy way during the game. Thanks a lot in advance Olhausen In: Modding and Tools
Thread: [HLEP] Paradrop Units Don't Have Parachute25 Sep 2017, 22:56 PM Hi ChosenOne: The problem that you have is, you need to give the unit the parachute. This could be done editing the .abp file of pathfinder. I will save you some time in advance, you could give this unit the parachute but the entity not support the animation anyway. How to do it ? Here I will leave you a video from Eliwood about how to edit .abp files. I recomend to you to watch it. Eliwood abp file edition After learn about how to edit .abp files here is the line that you introduce to your pathfinders.abp file to show the parachute: "..\\..\\props\\parachute\\parachute", Best luck Olhausen In: Modding and Tools
