Modding Questions - APCs and other Entities, and Squads

Hi there,

I’ve been making a custom scenario for the last six months based on the Tunisian campaign map for a fictional battle.

For the last couple of weeks I’ve done a lot of reading into how to mod this game including how to modify weapons and vehicles using entities.blk but I’m having a lot of trouble trying to create a new vehicle from scratch. Like I want to use certain American trucks that have entity models but can’t be driven by assigning them code from the American APC entity. I think it’s probably really complicated - like making sure the wheels are placed in the rights coordinates - but so far i can’t even get it so my soldiers can hop in.

Similarly, I’m trying to create a Lewis Gun version of a fixed MG. You know how maps come with MG42s set around the map that anyone can run up and use? Like that. I’ve been trying to change the model that the fixed M1919A4 Cal. 30 MG uses but I’ve had no luck so far. I’m very familiar with coding from work but I’m struggling with the naming conventions Darkflow uses.

Finally, how do I edit what sqauds can be on each team, and the loadouts for each soldier and their class (assaulter, trooper, etc?)

I’d really appreciate any and all help. Thank y’all.
