(noob) Is there any way to decrease/remove the time to spawn a squad?

[danikos18]

I am new to this stuff. I would like to know if it would be possible to reduce the time to spawn a squad at the start of the game, it is currently set to 25 seconds and I can’t find any file that would contain this parameter. Thanks!

hello there.

if you are talking about reducing the time to spawn in the editor, you’ll just have to click " devmode "

make sure it’s white.

if you instead, are talking about your mission, and you want people to spawn quicker, you’ll need to create a new file within the same folder of your mod,

( can be found: Disk of where you have installed enlisted / enlisted / userGameMods / Name of your mod folder )

rename this new document.txt file to " entities.blk "
( make sure to change the .txt to a .blk )

after that paste this code, and change the value to one that you prefer.

enlisted_player{
_override:b=yes
respawner__canSpawnMinTime:r="0.0"
respawner__respTime:r="0.0"
respawner__respTimeout:r="0.0"
respawner__missionStartDelay:r="0.0"
}

it could be… perhaps too fast.

but you can change them accordingly to your liking.

EDIT: unfortunately i do not know precisely what each of these 4 are for specific.
but these are the ones that affects spawns.

if you want to know more about entities, here is a helpful guide:

[Guide] Entity Modding (Entites.BLK)

In this post i attempt to guide You, how to make more advanced mods by modding the entites in the game. This guide will get expanded as time goes on, please read the comments for updates and new chapters. Also always assume that latest info is always the correct one. (and the best) With modded entites you can potentially do the following: Modify existing weapon’s properties like: rate of fire, reload speed, damage, replace sound of a weapon with another (no custom sound mod for online yet) …

Thanks so much for the quick response!
This is actually the guide I used to learn some stuff.

Also, do you know how to make ammo box accesable by my soldiers? I can’t get it to work for some reason, it always just says “can’t use enemy ammo box” even though I set tried to set the “team” parameter but none of them work.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

yes,

over the entity postfix field, place:

+tutorial_ammunition_box_a

then, spawn the " base_fortification_build " entity.

after that, you’ll have to change the team parameters and it should work.

but it doesn’t work for picked up weapons because those are considered neutral.

you’ll have to change their parameters too:

@Devenddar

How to change propertes for weapon that placed around map by mapper/modder?

For that… You just need edit property customProps! Yeah!
This property allows us to save edited properties when you pickup weapon!

So… When you create weapon then you will note that this property is empty:

Just to click to plus and then write initialComponents after that select object:

After that remains only write any weapon property inside initialComponents. For that click to + near with initialComponents and write any property:

For example… Let’s give to weapon ability refill weapon from 2 team (Axis) ammo boxes:
For that we adding these propertes and fill em. And also I’ll change weapon model (animchar__res) to old kar98k when pickup weapon. It’s just for final stage and for more visible results.

As result we got it (I clone it before then pickup):

As you can see in screenshot… It’s success! Even weapon model changed!
Good luck in making maps with many-many unique weapons

or… you can simply place the ammunition for said weapons and grab said ammo.

And how to increase the camera shake is exactly in fashion?

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

no clue.

sorry.

[DeniskaKevlar]

I found something. Can this help?

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

i never worked with cameras.

nor i’d know where to look at.

sorry.

but judging by the nodes, these are used for something else.

[DeniskaKevlar]

Is it possible to do this, play for all the fighters and that’s it?It is for each of them 1 time

[DeniskaKevlar]

And how to completely remove the minimap?

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

@ArtuaDG

Is it possible to do this, play for all the fighters and that’s it?It is for each of them 1 time

in theory, " one_spawn_unit " ( or something like that ) node should do that.

@ArtuaDG

And how to completely remove the minimap?

minimalist_hud

problem is, sometimes neither works. and i don’t know why.

so, perhaps try to put them over entities.

[DeniskaKevlar]

Thank you, should I do this in entities.blk or in the editor?

[DeniskaKevlar]

And how do I turn off the murder camera?

[DeniskaKevlar]

How to do it all? What’s above.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

@ArtuaDG

Thank you, should I do this in entities.blk or in the editor?

entities.blk

minimalist_hud_settings{
  _singleton:b=yes
  _tags:t="gameClient"
  minimalistHud:b=no
}

and for the spawn

i believe you’ll just have to place this node:

@ArtuaDG

And how do I turn off the murder camera?

don’t know

[DeniskaKevlar]

Thanks for the answer

[DeniskaKevlar]

Could you help me come up with characters for zombie mode, I just don’t have any ideas

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

no.

that’s a time consuming task.

however,

this is the base profile
zombie_profile.json.txt (538.4 KB)

and if you want to change things,

i recommend this guide:

Custom Profiles - Another look (Guide)

Please consider the previous posts i made about custom profiles invalid/outdated. I also wanted to put everything related to CPs into one post. Yes the other ones should be locked now.

squadType , sClass or sKind - soldier category

assault sniper rifle tanker engineer pilot_fighter radioman pilot_assaulter anti_tank mgun mortarman flametrooper medic biker paratrooper and all of them should have _2 _3 _4 …variants. For example: mgun_3 - Machine Gunner 3

Perks

hp_boost hp_regenerat…

but, do not forget to clean up the code, and remove the factions that you do not use.
