Thread: Editing abp file of Soviet Sniper28 Oct 2015, 13:55 PM Works fine for me: My armies\soviet\sniper\sniper.abp looks like: Code model = { "..\\..\\..\\Common\\CompleteMotionTree.abp", -- Weapons in Use "..\\..\\weapons\\rifle_mosin_nagant_sniper\\rifle_mosin_nagant_sniper.abp", "..\\..\\..\\german\\weapons\\smg_mp40\\smg_mp40", -- Common Soviet Gear "..\\..\\sovietcommongear.abp", -- Main Mesh "sniper", } Notice that mine is above the main mesh. You do not want it to be after the main mesh. If yours still does not work, I would suggest using the Rebuild option in Mod Builder to make sure it is actually being updated. Edit: If you are getting the blue box, that means your path is wrong, even if you think it is right. If you are getting an invisible weapon, then you are using the wrong animator in the entity_blueprint_ext or the wrong anim_table in the weapon. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Weapons not appearing on squads.28 Oct 2015, 13:25 PM You need to edit their .abp files. I have a tutorial for this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_ZrH0gUcr0 In: Modding and Tools

Thread: Editing abp file of Soviet Sniper28 Oct 2015, 01:01 AM Assuming you are editing the sniper.abp and not sovietcommongear.abp... These are correct: Code "..\\..\\..\\german\\weapons\\smg_mp40\\smg_mp40", "..\\..\\..\\west_german\\weapons\\west_german_smg_mp40\\west_german_smg_mp40", These are not: Code "..\\..\\..\\weapons\\smg_mp40\\smg_mp40", "..\\..\\..\\weapons\\west_german_smg_mp40\\west_german_smg_mp40", Because there is no army called "weapons". Other than that, I am not sure what your issue is. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Editing abp file of Soviet Sniper27 Oct 2015, 20:02 PM It is possible. You are searching for German weapons from the Soviet folder. Adjust your path so that you are searching for German weapons from the German folder. People seem to get hung up on paths a lot. So, think about it like this: If you were looking inside the folder of the .abp (in Windows), and you went up two directories (which is what ..\\ means in the path), where would you be?

Thread: Fortress Europe26 Oct 2015, 16:11 PM Buildings, by default, have a capacity of 12. As Contrivance points out, this can always be modified if necessary. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Issues with Microsoft Edge (or Windows 10)24 Oct 2015, 14:29 PM I often get weird issues when using Microsoft Edge in Windows 10, such as my input not registering in the text box. It makes it extremely difficult to post in these forums, as it happens quite often and I have to keep hitting a key until it starts working again. This is the only forum where it happens, so I'm guessing there are some compatibility issues with this browser. Does anyone else have this issue, maybe even when multiple tabs are open?

Thread: Fortress Europe24 Oct 2015, 13:51 PM Keep in mind that we have a unified German faction. If we were able to remove OKW, we would, but for now selecting one or the other makes no difference. The only thing we might do is split up some of the units based on which faction has their speech codes. A quick recap: The American Rifle Squad has 12 men, organized as 11xM1, 1xM1918A2. The British Rifle Squad has 10 men, organized as 1xSten, 8xSMLE, 1xBren. The German Grenadier Squad has 9 men, organized as 2xMP40, 6xK98k, 1xleMG42. The German Volks (Sturm) 1st and 2nd Squad have 8 men, organized as 8xStG44. 3rd Squad also had 8 men, organized as 6xStG44, 2xleMG42. There was a (Schützen) Squad that was basically the same as the normal Grenadier Squad, but with one less K98k. The Soviet Strelkovyy Squad has 9 men, organized as 1xPPSh-41, 7xVM-91/30, 1xDP-28. They will each have their own traits and costs that set them apart. Also, the 1st American and British Rifle Squads will have an M9A1 Rocket Launcher or PIAT Mk. I replace one of their rifles by default. The 2nd and 3rd are as shown above. This has always been a good introductory site to TO&Es, War Establishment Documents, and KSTNs: http://bayonetstrength.150m.com/General/site_map.htm He used to have Soviet Shtats as well, but removed them a few years ago. You can use the wayback machine to get those, or find newer sources. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Fortress Europe24 Oct 2015, 01:00 AM You might have the wrong idea about the mod. We don't have base buildings or weapon racks, and do not use any attributes or scripts from the base game. We are more of a total conversion. That being said, we use actual Tables of Organization and Equipment, so an American Rifle Squad will be 11xM1 Rifle and 1xM1918A2 Automatic Rifle. Parachute Rifle Squads are similar, but with 1xM1919A6 Light Machine-gun instead. Glider Rifle Squads are identical to the standard Rifle Squad. As for weapon teams having LMGs and Rocket Launchers, it is something we want to do, but unfortunately is very difficult to implement with slot items (the preferred method). The M1A1 Pack Howitzer was not often used in a direct fire role using iron sights, as it did not have a gun shield, so it will be off-map fire support instead. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Fortress Europe23 Oct 2015, 22:26 PM We are likely going to focus on the Germans and Soviets for our first release, but we have worked on the Americans and British here and there (and have their organization mostly done on paper). The Americans have a lot of different units, so what were you curious about? In: Modding and Tools
