[Guide] how to add planes, rotating objects, and add soldiers with animations to your map!

[Devenddar]

Nice!

@ErikaKalkbrenner

or… others way?

Maybe he did it by attach_decorators, but…
Added new object in entities.blk.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

why does everything has to be so complicated

it used to work before though:

( gray halftrack below the turret. that’s a reindinst )

although collisions started to kick in by the same method above

@ErikaKalkbrenner

how can we customize appearance of customizable_benchmark_animchar ?
because i found out that you can apply ( sort of ) equipment pieces, but they overlap and do not save upon restart

Your questions about the mission editor and launching user missions in the game

Or maybe not! It’s possible to do by this way: [shot_2022.11.26_16.51.53] Yeah! Just write equipment name and where it will be. If you want change bot equipment then just add base after ger_. [shot_2022.11.26_17.09.36] In screenshot used ussr_base_soldier. It too works. If you want add animated decoration soldier then use customizable_menu_animchar. [shot_2022.11.26_17.06.26] customizable_benchmark_animchar can be too used, but seems it’s a bit buggy. [shot_2022.11.26_17.02.48] Bu…

if you restart, will it save?

because i did so in the past. but upon restarting, it used to not work

[Devenddar]

Yes. All screenshots are after restart.

@ErikaKalkbrenner

Maybe you used another objects? or write it wrongly?
Only customizable... can be edited.
But common... can’t.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

great finding then

will works just nicely with bots that you found as well

[Enginya]

Yes, pushed this mini improvement with the update.

[CZ_FOX_81_brno]

GREAT! finally in my tunisian map i can have PzII with proper camo.

Just - I found out, that you can have ITA camo scheme on GER armored vehicles, probably you can have any camo scheme on any vehicle. just did not try all on all, maybe just those “simple” works (one color “desert” scheme)

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

at the time that i made the guide, some camouflage weren’t applicable on others nation vehicles.

probably things changed for the better

[CZ_FOX_81_brno]

for example here - ita and ger vehicle in same camo scheme

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

great to know that battlepass vehicles are now able to fully save and store their decals with a new paintjob.

something that wasn’t doable in the past

[CZ_FOX_81_brno]

and for all - there is still some (small) steps in improvement of the MOD tool

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

forgot to mention:

this is how you apply cosmetics onto soldiers

and if you want to see somewhat of a list of majority of the clothings available, check:

All clothing list Ids ( Portal )

greetings dear modders, todays i’m gonna create an ID list ( and try to keep it up to date ) about every possible cosmetic within enlisted. mostly useful for make modded Profiles, give clothings with the specific id to artificial Generated NPC and/or for scenary soldiers with animations as well. reason why i’m making this thread, it’s to speed up the process without having to make too many clicks ( for example scroll, place, find the name, look at the right direction etc. ) so with this guide,…

keep in mind that it’s not updated and it contains some errors.

plus, it’s somewhat discontinued. although i will make a newer one when i’ll have some time.

but if you have any doubts, just go in the equipment section and check both the name and the attached slots of where they go.

This is awesome. Can you have the soldiers run around and do certain actions? I could imagine trying to make a whole short film with voice overs, I have so many ideas. Also, how do you film cinematics using mods? Is there a way to get the replay?

[Gamer_Victorch]

I think this post is extremely outdated as its from Sep 2022.

[iso_seppo123]

Is there an updated guide?

[Gamer_Victorch]

I don’t think so, but the AI plane stuff seem to be unchanged till this day. So most of the content here should work.

[Gamer_Victorch]

@ErikaKalkbrenner

how to add planes that fly-by?

Huh thats what I needed, i have finally found it. It would be nice if the planes would drop bombs, since i believe I am able to make them spawn with zombie_spawn_mode!

About the concept:

1. I would use entities.blk to create ai planes with different endPos for them to fly.
2. Next, create new entity and _use the zombie paratrooper spawner
3. Change the said entity to use team x spawn (where x is a positive integer >=3).
4. Change the spawn template to be the plane (and maybe increase the spawn height for good measure)
5. Place respTeam1 and set teamId to x
6. Repeat the steps 2 to 5 but change value of x

• Might be a good idea to set the plane’s team to 2 or 3, and _use the ai pilot crew thing, so that the planes have a red marker on them.

• Btw, the paratrooper spawner mechanic can be exploited to spawn anything you want, because it just spawn what its told to. (Like i can spawn in walking zombie too, or an AI tank)

(It is intended for them to crash, because players are supposed to shoot them down optionally for extra score)

(I am posting to see if anyone knows how to make the ai planes drop bombs/fire rockets, because an attacker plane that couldn’t attack is no fun for both players and the pilot)

@A2Moonclaw

yes.

there’s a cinematic soldier for it.

but no idea how that works.

the only person that does, is no longer in the forum.

@A2Moonclaw

good luck friend.

@A2Moonclaw

Also, how do you film cinematics using mods?

the free camera that comes with.

@A2Moonclaw

Is there a way to get the replay?

just create a mission with various settings that you want and record with the replay.

fair warning, replay system does not always replicate what you actually did.

for example, some templates do not show up.

neither custom made soldiers.

@ErikaKalkbrenner

here is in the editor:

here is in the replay system:

@Gamer_Victorch

I think this post is extremely outdated as its from Sep 2022.

nope.
still works to this day.

[A2Moonclaw]

Oh ok. Dang, wish it wouldn’t be such a pain to do.
