Re: Victory Pt Plugin "Objective Failed"

I have been trying to tweak the VP plugin settings in the scenario editor without success. No matter what I set as conditions, as soon as the scenario opens, I get an "Objective Failed" message. Of course, a scenario editor manual/guide would be helpful, but I haven't been able to locate ...

Scripting

I'm still here - still trying to learn the BA2 editor. This time I'm trying to understand scripting and how the developer/scenario designers were able to script things. I'm looking at Mission 5 from the Barbarossa Campaign - at one point you take a counter-attack from a group of soviet tanks and I'm...

Re: West Front US Skirmish Mod 1.2

Noticed something a little odd that German infantry do not have their typical Wehrmacht grey uniforms available as an option in the editor. Is there a way to change that on my end? The Default texture should be the field grey uniform. It is on my version of the mod. I just confirmed on both of my m...

Re: How to host custom coop scenarios?

Can you please post an image showing the folder tree where you have your campaign installed. It needs to be in the Multiplayer folder in your local folder (Documents/My Games/BA2). Cheers Pip I'm using a custom mission that I made using Paul's 1946 Cold War skirmish mod. I tried dropping the file i...

Re: Edit Skirmish Missions?

3) You don't get the full range of units to choose from. The choice of unit types is limited to about 12 to 15 maximum, chosen randomly, obviously the Skirmishinfo number and the points cost also plays a part in this selection. I saw the option for ALL, but even then the unit selection is extremely...

Re: Edit Skirmish Missions?

What does this variable do in the Squads.csv?

SkirmishInfo

Is this the priority in which the ai will field units?

How would I do this?

How would I create custom army lists and determine which units / which quantities are part of it?

Re: Edit Skirmish Missions?

Unfortunately that is not possible. Thanks. Is there any way to allow players to pick whatever equipment they want as part of their force? I find the current force pools to be a little wonky. It's weird that sometimes you'll have five flamethrower teams and four snipers but lack any infantry squads...

Re: Cold War 46 Skirmish Mod 1.4

Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate this mod. Thanks for your work! Would it be possible to modify two small things- 1. US Jeeps play a .30cal sound (correct) but also an MG42 sound (sounds weird) 2. The M26 Pershing plays a .50cal sound for its coaxial machine gun. Any chance this could b...

Re: OOB Scenario Design Woes

MikeAP, The problem with the AI is that it will not mount a sustained, coordinated, determined attack on a dug-in defender or go deep into the enemy's rear.

Re: OOB Scenario Design Woes

Another example of awful scenario design- Playing through Allies Victorious DLC- M03 - Falaise Gap. I lost my first attempt by 1 turn because I had supply issues for several turns. Not just once - but several times, the Germans ran suicide counter-attacks deep into my rear areas which caused problem...
