Thread: British Emplacements - Need help understanding them.10 Mar 2018, 13:12 PM Moocats, wow I tried and failed to get mine working back when I asked. SneakEye is the man IMO, always helpful and very knowledgeable. I gave up on making my 25lb howitzer work, but now with this new info, I'll give it another shot. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: UI Position. I find my self confused....10 Mar 2018, 13:06 PM Wow was about to post this question as well. I want to add an ability to call in my new squad Elite Assault Engineers to or above the commander bar, with no requirement of any commander, just want it to display there but be greyed out till 3 command points. I'm having trouble understanding what you guys mean by "Armies > abilities". I did set the "<int name="ui_position" value="90" />" to 90 in the ability, but don't see armies to set to abilities. Just see "<enum name="ui_group" value="group_primary" />" Update, Ah IC, it's a Category "Armies" tab I didn't have open. IC now where the abilities are listed. So instead of editing that I just hijacked the assault engineers ability. Thanks guys your conversations are learning tools In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Help with Accuracy of Anti Air Guns2 Mar 2018, 13:00 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Mar 2018, 10:30 AMPlanet Smasher Some airstrike abilities aren't really dropped by planes, there's just a plane flying overhead for "flavour" and the bombs (or whatever it is) are dropped from thin air. If you want to prevent that, you'll have to edit the ability so attacks actually come from the plane. Well ain't that some sh!t.. Could you point me in the right direction on what I'd need to edit in the file to make it come from a plane? In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Help with Accuracy of Anti Air Guns1 Mar 2018, 22:00 PM Ha ok now running into a new issue... Now the bombs are being dropped WITH NO PLANE! It's the loud rrrrrRRRRRRRRRAAAAAHHHHHH..... BOOOOOOOM!!! one. Think it's the "stuka_bombing_strike". Before the tweak, one plane would fly over, then the other would deliver the bomb. No it's just the sound, the boom, and no plane. So I undid the edit to the planes, and did the crit hit via the guns. Same effect. I put the AA gun crit to 50% (50/50). Any ideas, or do the germans have some other artillery ability that does the same thing? In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Help with Accuracy of Anti Air Guns21 Feb 2018, 22:32 PM Wow, 1k Armor and HP. Thank you for that info. I had no idea airplanes were vehicles, I thought they were static objects, like a building. Just a delivery of the ability. So I went about it a bit differently, I changed the 6 plane files to 1 Armor and 10 HP. What a difference it makes. Can actually shoot down those buggers. Thanks you for the info again!

Thread: Help with Accuracy of Anti Air Guns20 Feb 2018, 21:22 PM I want to shoot down more planes. I can litter the map with Bofors, m17 Meat-Choppers, AA Halftrack, even the darn truck with it's 50 cal will pepper the air trying to shoot down one plane. I want to increase the accuracy of these guns in my mod, but I can't find where Accuracy vs Air is set. Can someone please post what I should edit to make the guns hit those darn planes.

Thread: Please Help with Glider and 25 Lbr Howitzer for AEF23 Oct 2017, 15:47 PM Damn, I'm lost on this stupid howitzer nest. I can build it, it shows the emplacement, the abilities, but no gun. It does fire. I'm not sure where the "gun" file is. Like the 17 pounder has a squad_loadout with the emplacment and a gun epbs. I'm not sure where it's crew comes from though. But the mortar just points to the building. I've successfully made 17 pounder, mortar, and bofors nests with USA crew for the AEF, but this howitzer... Maybe, instead, I'll try putting the AEF Howitzer as a buildable with a emplacement, like you did with the AT gun. The glider is also eluding me. I pointed the ability to the brit files but it still won't "cast". So that's a bust. However, the tank traps are working perfectly! I used "Icons_buildings_building_aef_bulldozer_barricade" for the icon. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Please Help with Glider and 25 Lbr Howitzer for AEF22 Oct 2017, 14:24 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Oct 2017, 20:16 PMSneakEye ...To make the 25 pdr visible an animator_set_state is needed. state_machine_name : maingun_visibility do_action_state_name : on I cloned the 17 pdr pit and replaced the gun with the new 25 pdr file to make the emplacement. The model of the coh1 emplacement: armies\common\structures\artillerypit\artillerypit Going to attempt that again today. Jump back to quoted post21 Oct 2017, 20:16 PMSneakEye The Glider ability has most likely an invalid target_requirement. The ability has a 'target_special_validation', do you have any requirements in there? Yea there is 2 target_special_validations, 1 is no command sector, the other is friendly territory. I removed both from the ability and still get a red runway. Jump back to quoted post21 Oct 2017, 20:16 PMSneakEye The roadblocks are much more easy, clone a tank trap and use this model: environment\objects\rubble_debris\rubble_barricade_heavy_01\rubble_barricade_heavy_01 Sweet I was hoping you would post the actual model path, thank you. Is there an icon already made for the build menu? Or is there a model tool, like the COH2 UI Asset Browser, but for 3D models? In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Please Help with Glider and 25 Lbr Howitzer for AEF21 Oct 2017, 15:48 PM I need some assistance (again). SneakEye, in your mod, I saw you were able to make the British 25 pounder buildable, visable, and in an emplacement. I've tried to clone/new name the files but all I get is an invisible gun. I saw your All Units (160) had successfully created an emplaced Howitzer, could you help me on that? Also I am trying to give the AEF the British Glider HQ. I've cloned/new named the Ability, SBPS, EBPS, removed all British requirements, and pointed to the new files. However, when I try to use the Ability, it shows the "runway" but stays red, even when the cursor goes ok. I'm not sure what I'm missing, although I do see some conditions to check for glider lockout. Also can you help me with your Road Blocks the engineers build? Any help someone could provide on these issues? In: Modding and Tools
