did you attached the tend through entities?

or… others way?

i have tried it with the decor template through blk file, but it seems it doesn’t update their object nor physic parameters anymore like it used to:

( wanted to use the box to make more appealing the ammo halftrack, problem is, it does not update the thingies.

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

why does everything has to be so complicated :frowning:

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

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)

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

probably things changed for the better :slight_smile:

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

something that wasn’t doable in the past :+1:

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:

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?

I think this post is extremely outdated as its from Sep 2022.

Is there an updated guide?

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.
