Custom Profiles - Another look (Guide)

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

well,

the basic example for changing textures like @Devenddar colt, is through entities.

and, most will look like:

( for easy replacement )

it will look something like:

@Devenddar

Well… In editor you selected attachable_wear_ger_hooded_smock_covered_item+item_in_world. In enitites you will need to write only entity name and without postfixs. So first entity code will be like it:

attachable_wear_ger_hooded_smock_covered_item

Then you need to open and close entity code body. For that add { and }.

attachable_wear_ger_hooded_smock_covered_item{
}

After that you need to override original item. To able update code. For that you need to add _override:b=yes.

attachable_wear_ger_hooded_smock_covered_item{
  _override:b=yes
}

And then write new properties or change old ones. To change textures you will need to edit animchar__objTexReplace. Add it. It can be only as array. So it will be like it:

attachable_wear_ger_hooded_smock_covered_item{
  _override:b=yes
  "animchar__objTexReplace:object"{
    "EntityTextureName*":t="NewTextureName*"
  }
}

About real textures names… Sorry. I can’t tell right now.

If you want to create new equipment then just imagine unique name, write it instead attachable_wear_ger_hooded_smock_covered_item. But instead _override:b=yes you will need info from another objects. So… For example… You will need to add this line: _extends:t=“attachable_wear_ger_hooded_smock_covered_item”. It add info from another entity.

i suppose i came too late.

anyway, for soldiers,

you might have made the code wrong.

but it generally start with appearance seed, and ends with the soldier’s perks:

                  "appearance__rndSeed" : 1302,

make sure that the id is correct ( which, starts from 0 and goes up to how many soldiers you have in your squad )

and, keep in mind:

@Bazsi37

Debugging and what to look out for

• Brackets must always have their correct “pair”, or the game will return a “Connection refused” error when launched online, or “Corrupted profile” error when launching in local mode

• JSON Syntax requires you to NOT place commas at the closing bracket of the last element of an array. applies to all arrays of course.

• Soldiers and squads MUST have custom guids or the profile will be broken. If two squads have the same guid then, in-game, the second squad will appear as a duplicate of the first squad.

You can use https://jsonlint.com/ for debugging.

just pay a bit more attention, and you should be fine.

[Bazsi37]

Also anyone who wants to start making Custom profiles; I wouldn’t as the merge may change the JSON file. (no more campaigns, united currency etc).

[Devenddar]

@Bazsi37

merge may change the JSON

Looking to team entity… They let us use old campaigns armies. Maybe for some time or maybe for long time.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

also, the base code of the sumpftarn hoodie; it’s:
ger_hooded_smock_open_tex_d

you’ll find mostly of what you are looking for by searching keywords of the clothing inside main game directory through .dxp.bin files.

[Bazsi37]

I hope the devs or helpers will release a post similar to when effects were changed; To prepare.

About common_factionname: we shall see very soon…

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

they won’t.

they didn’t even warned about the various rendinsts and animations removal last time,

they won’t this time either.

already asked preemptively;

Any news for us modders?

i don’t wanna sound… impatient or " force " the hands of no one. and i understand right now there are other priorities. but, we would like to know what’s coming for us as well regarding news on the editor. for example; since the merge will unify alot of content, and most likely, change alot of names, what will this mean for our mods? for example, how will profile works with the new system? what we have to change to adapt it to the new update? how will we be able to fix our mods ahead of …

but too naive and optimistic about it.

which btw, have you saw any official answer? about how armies will work?
don’t think so.

[Devenddar]

@ErikaKalkbrenner

about how armies will work?
don’t think so.

Only info that they will mix.
In editor you already can see some code:

@Devenddar

Probably for some time we will have common_ger and at same time old campaigns.

[Scav_Sergei]

I really appreciate your help my friend but may i ask, if it is not bothering… could you maybe give me the texture name so i can make the hoodie from above white? I am sorry to ask but i really struggle with file stuff…

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

@Devenddar

Probably

that’s the keyword my friend.

" probably ".

which it’s not a definitive answer.

( and would be about time to get any. because we could prentively have our mods ready to be up to date. instead of wasting weeks trying to figure out / find the answer )

@Scav_Sergei

I really appreciate your help my friend but may i ask, if it is not bothering… could you maybe give me the texture name so i can make the hoodie from above white? I am sorry to ask but i really struggle with file stuff…

dunno to be honest.

you’ll have to lookg through dpx.files and look see for your self what the texture is all about.

to save some time, apply the textures onto vehicles. you’ll see them much quicker than having to apply the costume, save, duplicate it, delete it, and check individually on each piece each time.

while, on a tank, as soon you insert the textures, it will automatically show up.

beside, all i know of white, is plastic_a_tex_d*

[Bazsi37]

You can unpack any dxp.bin file and get the texture names:

(idk if this helps? anyway)

[Scav_Sergei]

attachable_wear_ger_hooded_smock_covered_item{
_override:b=yes
“animchar__objTexReplace:object”{
“ger_hooded_smock_open_tex_d*”:t=“plastic_a_tex_d*”
}
}

So this is what i put in the blk file, but nothing changed? am i still doing something wrong?

(it looks exactly like above with both textures in, the forum uploaded it wrong)

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

use this command:

to share codes…

anyway

yeah. the code is different. the one i gaved you is for the open version.

for the closed one, is:

ger_hooded_smock_tex_d*

p.s… don’t tell me you are about to give the soviet a german smock please

otherwise i’ll slap someone

[Scav_Sergei]

IT WORKED THANK YOU ERIKA! i am very very thankful for your help…

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

glad to be of assistance

but to be honest, @tommyZZM and @Devenddar are the real Men to thank for.

without them, i wouldn’t have been able to even dive into retextures.

which… it’s the only thing i can do since… you know…

my mods cannot be uploaded for the time being.
( i mean, i could, but would massively be boring and much watered down of what those should have been… mainly because of customs. but i don’t wanna rumble more than necessary )

which, not to spam, and i’ll conclude my spamming with this message on such an useful thread, if you want to look for more clothings of relatively high quality;

i suggest you check:

Cosmetics Color Addition based on the present models ( United Kingdom / Commonwealth )

a bit of context greetings community. this suggestion is a continuation of my previous thread; Cosmetics Color Addition based on the present models ( Germany ) regarding a small project of mine. where with the editor, thanks to @Devenddar i found out that i could replace textures. and the intent is to provide an idea / inspiration for devs to add more colors. while provide codes of clothings for modders to use inside their mods. but to keep things organized, i decided and wanted to split and no…

Cosmetics Color Addition based on the present models ( Germany )

more clothings for addition: Volkssturm M44 Gray: ( Texture Name applied: ger_m44_tunic_gray_tex_d* ) [image] [image] Pea Dot: ( T N: ger_m44_tunic_dot_br_tex_d* ) [image] [image] Green: ( T N: ger_m44_tunic_gr_tex_d* ) [image] [image]

Code

here is a template of where you can change textures and create others variants. though, those will not work very well: <a class="lightbox" href="https://i-enlisted.cdn.gaijin.net/original/3X/2/4/2490746326393c7a3d7132b11c6ec…

( i’ll do other factions too. it’s just that it’s taking me huge chunk of times into research, and find accurate textures for uniforms )

but. it will greatly save you and others some time.

even though, not gonna lie… i would have kept them and only shared them once my mods would have been out.

but quite frankly, i’m losing hopes in that ever happening.

so if i can help others to somewhat elevate their mod in appearance quality, so be it.

[Devenddar]

There you can find some info how you can add paratroopers squad:
How to make Custom profile with paratrooper squad?

[Bazsi37]

As expected, Custom Profiles need a slight fix after the merge. Will update soon. Until then:

How to start the mod

It seems that you will need to a bit rewrite your custom profile file. Need to use ussr/ger/jap/usa armies names and id. For example replace berlin_axis to ger. And it should work: [image] Some code: { "ussr" : { "armyId" : "ussr", "boosters" : [], "classBonus" : {}, "country" : "ussr", "curSquadId" : "ussr_modern_inf_1", ... }, "ger" : { "armyId" : "ger", "boosters" : [], "classBonus" : {}, "country" : "usa", "curSqua…

[Bazsi37]

Update:

Unfortunetly i can no longer edit the main post. Assume that latest post is always has the up to date information.

• Updated Sample Sandbox Mission
• Updated Sample Source:
  _Mechanized_1941.zip (13.3 KB)

ussr_kv_1_zis_5_common no longer exists. Was replaced with ussr_t_34_85_e Tank.

Note that profiles in sqcommon.vromfs.bin are outdated. The sample above is not!

Remarks to the guide:

Now that campaigns are gone we have factions:

Instead of for example moscow_allies we have ussr for armyId.
For country you need to use either ussr, germany, usa.

Hi I have 4 questions

1. Where can i find my profiles that i use in casual matches? (I want to use them as a reference point)
2. You said that its possible to change weapon stats by using entites.blk . Can you show an example of such a code?
3. Do you know if we can change things like walking speed/ads wakking speed or leaning speed and leaning dispersion?
4. Is it possible to make profile for team 1 and 2 to avoid makeing profile for each country?

[Bazsi37]

Hello,

Where can i find my profiles that i use in casual matches? (I want to use them as a reference point)

On gaijin servers. In other words it’s not stored locally, you cannot use that a reference point unfortunetly.

You said that its possible to change weapon stats by using entites.blk . Can you show an example of such a code?

It’s explained here: [Guide] Entity Modding (Entites.BLK)

Do you know if we can change things like walking speed/ads wakking speed or leaning speed and leaning dispersion?

Walking speed can be changed in the profile in perks sections:

replace statkey with the right perks in the guide.

Is it possible to make profile for team 1 and 2 to avoid makeing profile for each country?

You can make a profile for 2 countries, just remember to lock the teams to the countries in the editor and when uploading to the sandbox portal.

[ShepecOne]

how do i lock team to country?

when i asked about ads moving speed (walking speed) i didn"t mean crounch movement perk, i would like to change soldier entity so it can walk faster since there is no perk for that, i also would like to revert leaning changes in my mod i think i might be able to do it this way if its posible. But i have no idea how to find soldier entity to overide it"s paremeters
