I'm new to the forum, new to Attribute editing for DoW2:CR, and I've come across a few rather disturbing issues that I can't resolve.
Real quick, I'm not a total n00b at attribute editing and I've been using Cope's DoW2 Toolbox, which might I add is amazing.
I put together a 10 man, mixed, squad of veteran guardsmen consisting of a veteran sergeant, 3 special weapons veterans, and 6 more veterans. All of them are just modified versions of the pre-existing "ig_trooper_X". I gave them 4 weapon upgrades; flamer, grenade launcher, plasma gun, and sniper rifle. All of which work, but there are a few issues.
1. I want each upgrade to give the squad 3 of that weapon; but they seem to show up in different numbers. When I select "Plasma guns" or "Grenade Launcher", The squad is equiped with 3 of each, good. When I select "Sniper Rifle" or "Flamer", the squad is equiped with only 1 of each, bad. I can't seem to find where to change how many weapons are applied in the upgrade. Could someone please tell me how to change the numbers applied?
Edit: I figured out how to adjust the numbers; it's changed in the wargear file, not the upgrade file.
2. When I apply upgrades to the squad, the first unit within the squad to get the new weapon is my veteran sergeant; also bad. I only want the 3 "ig_veteran_special" units within the squad to be upgradeable. How do I set it so that only certain units within a mixed squad recieve certain upgrades?
I tried adding an "upgrade_ext" to the (ebps)"ig_veteran_special" unit, but it didn't seem to work; none of the upgrades were visable in-game. I tried using a "filter_action" (within the "ig_veteran_spc_[weapon name].rbf)"and set the "entity_type" to "ig_veteran_special" in hopes that only they would be affected; Didn't solve the problem.
Is it possible to make it so that only a few units in the squad are upgradeable for certain things? For example: A squad of 9 guardsmen made up of 2 different units; ig_trooper_01 and ig_trooper_02. Is it possible to make it so that ig_trooper_1 can be upgraded with grenade launchers, while ig_trooper_02 can be upgraded with shotguns? I'm thinking "no", and thus far have been running into "no".
3. My Squad was going to have more upgrades than the 4 slots on the side could support, and I ended up with buttons on the side of the "command_panel". I wanted a larger panel, like the 'Heroes', so I addeded a "type_unit_class" with a value of "hero" to the "type_ext" of the veteran units within my squad, and it did what I wanted, but I haven't been able to put a single upgrade or piece of wargear on the new command panel. Any help with that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
