@Eli: Are there any ways to reach you? I see you disabled private messaging and Steam too..
@blandcatastrofe
Make sure that you are using the fx_tracer_name provided in the readme.
@CoolCat74
I can't help you without knowing what specifically is wrong.
@TigerTanker
You can post here.
I downloaded the following files :
heavy_machineguns__v1.4
light_machineguns__v1.4
m1919a4_hmg__v1.1
mg_42_hmg__v1.3
mg_42_lmg__v1.1
Then I extracted the files, did the changes from the readme and pack the files so I got a new attrib file and a new ww2art.sga
Unfortunately, I got this rgm-missing warning with blue cubes. I don't know why. Maybe I forgot something?
"Viel Feind' - Viel Ehr'!"
- Der Herrgott fragte die Steine: "Wollt ihr Gebirgsjäger werden?"
- Die Steine antworteten: "Nein, denn wir sind nicht hart genug!"
Missing .rgm implies that something in your pathing is incorrect.
I just wanted to ask if you saw the tanks at my topic.. Afaik Inuk's working on those hungarian tanks as well. If it's any help, I'd be glad to send those 3ds models over, that'd surely make Inuk's work faster.
@TigerTanker
I can't speak for inukshuk, but I found the quality of those models to be somewhat subpar. Best of luck, though.
Maybe I could PM Inukshuk about it, perhaps he could use those models as base.. Thanks anyway.
The models look very fine and are well detailed. Maybe a bit higher count than average but that can be fixed. There's nothing sub par about them and the skins can be altered later. Kinda stupid to make Inuk redo all the same models when you have perfectly fine ones done...
@Aidas2
I am more than entitled to my own opinion and I am not making inukshuk do anything.
Well, I decided to send Inukshuk a PM after all. Let's just wait for his answer.
eliw00d, i am using the correct fx_tracer_name. but i am going to try leaving the fx_action_target field clear. but, I am also having some vanilla weapon tracers missing now. specifically, the scout car mg42.
A Real Mexican Hero!
@blandcatastrofe
The fx_action_target must be mp44_target.
for both the stg44 and the PPSH-41?
and also, do you have any idea why these vanilla weapon tracers wouldnt be working?
No, mp40_target for PPSh.
Hm, I can't find the rgm problem. Could You please post e.g. your mggunner's settings?
It's included in the archive.
Sorry, didn't find an mggunner.abp
You'll have to make your own and make sure the paths point correctly to the custom models.
Ok, I'll try to explain my problem a bit more precisely. I try to implement the m1919a. Therefore I downloaded the Heavy MG file and the m1919a file and extracted both. Then I edited the commonmeshes.abp and commonmotiontree.abp and my mg_gunner.abp. First as documented in the readme then I tried to find a soultion by looking for the correct pathing in other mods. But nothing worked. My problem is, that all US Troops no get the blue rgm box. I guess that one of the common files isn't correct. Here they are:
commonmeshes.abp
completemotiontree.abpCode:model = { -- Allies Meshes for Slot Weapons "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\M18_57mm_Recoiless_Rifle", "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\BAR", "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\M9_Bazooka", "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\M1A1_Thompson", "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\60mmMortar_sync", "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\30cal_M1917_Browning_Sync", "..\\Weapons\\American\\Small_Arms\\M1919A4_HMG", "..\\Weapons\\American\\Small_Arms\\M1919A4_HMG\\M1919A4_HMG_Sync", --"..\\Weapons\\American\\Small_Arms\\M1919A4_HMG", -- Axis Meshes for Slot Weapons "..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\MP40", "..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\MP44", "..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\Panzerschreck", "..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\Granatwerfer_34_sync", "..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\MG42_Heavy_Tripod_Sync", -- Allied Commonwealth for Slot Weapons "..\\commonwealth\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\Piat_AT_Launcher", "..\\commonwealth\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\light_MG", "..\\commonwealth\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\vickers_HMG_sync", "..\\commonwealth\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\Boys_AT_Rifle", } -- Intermediate ABP simvis_attributes = { Intermediate_Model = 1 }

Edit: I copied the files additionally to races\allied\soldiers\weapons. Now the rgm-problem is gone, but the gunner still shows the old animation and the m1919a is invisible.

You need to read the readmes again.
Well, I read the readme, but it didn't work as described. The [[ didn't work, so I replaced them with ". I changed the commonmeshes.abp, completemotiontree.abp and my mg_gunner.abp as decribed in the readme. I still got the rgm-problem with the mg_gunner.abp. This is the abp:
And what's the deal with the visibility name? Why do I need that? Sorry, but I'm not a pro at modding.Code:model = { "..\\..\\Common\\CompleteMotionTree.abp", -- Weapons "..\..\Weapons\American\Small_Arms\M1919A4_HMG\M1919A4_HMG_Sync", "Weapons\\M1_Carbine", -- Mesh "Rifleman\\Rifleman", }
Your commonmeshes.abp:
What the readme says:Code:-- Allies Meshes for Slot Weapons "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\M18_57mm_Recoiless_Rifle", "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\BAR", "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\M9_Bazooka", "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\M1A1_Thompson", "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\60mmMortar_sync", "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\30cal_M1917_Browning_Sync", "..\\Weapons\\American\\Small_Arms\\M1919A4_HMG", -- this is not the correct location! "..\\Weapons\\American\\Small_Arms\\M1919A4_HMG\\M1919A4_HMG_Sync", -- this is not the correct location! --"..\\Weapons\\American\\Small_Arms\\M1919A4_HMG", -- why do you have it in here twice?
Your completemotiontree.abp:Open "data\art\models\races\common\commonmeshes.abp" and add the following line:
[[..\..\Weapons\American\Small_Arms\M1919A4_HMG\M1919A4_HMG_Sync]],
What the readme says:Code:----------------------- -- CommonMotions.abp -- ----------------------- -- Common Weapon Animations "Weapons\\Bazooka", "Weapons\\FLAMETHROWERS", "Weapons\\GRENADE", "Weapons\\Heavy_Machineguns_Sync", -- this is not the correct location! "Weapons\\MORTAR_Sync", "Weapons\\Pistol", "Weapons\\RIFLE", "Weapons\\SUB_MACHINE_GUNS", "Weapons\\HEAVY_MACHINEGUNS", -- where did this come from?
So, you did not read the instructions properly. Also, moving the model files will actually cause more problems. The M1919A4 will NOT - I repeat - will NOT work AT ALL if you move it into a different folder. I will not provide support if you do not use the files in the locations they are meant to be in. As for changing the [[ and ]] to " and ", that is fine as long as you keep the pathing the same and just add the necessary escape characters for the backslashes.Open "data\art\models\races\common\completemotiontree.abp" and change the following line:
"Weapons\\HEAVY_MACHINE_GUNS_Sync",
To:
[[..\..\Weapons\Heavy_Machineguns_Sync]],
The visibility name is used in the weapon itself, in the anim_table. In the case of the M1919A4, the weapon is already included so you can ignore the visibility name. There are plenty of modding tutorials in the Tutorials forum that can help you out more with basic modding.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I posted the wrong commonmeshes.abp and completemotiontree.abp. This were versions in which I tried and errored.
I started again with an vanilla ww2art.sga and implemented the following
commonmeshes.abp
completemotiontree.abpCode:model = { -- Allies Meshes for Slot Weapons "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\M18_57mm_Recoiless_Rifle", "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\BAR", "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\M9_Bazooka", "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\M1A1_Thompson", "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\60mmMortar_sync", "..\\Allies\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\30cal_M1917_Browning_Sync", "..\\..\\Weapons\\American\\Small_Arms\\M1919A4_HMG\\M1919A4_HMG_Sync", -- Axis Meshes for Slot Weapons "..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\MP40", "..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\MP44", "..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\Panzerschreck", "..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\Granatwerfer_34_sync", "..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\MG42_Heavy_Tripod_Sync", -- Allied Commonwealth for Slot Weapons "..\\commonwealth\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\Piat_AT_Launcher", "..\\commonwealth\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\light_MG", "..\\commonwealth\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\vickers_HMG_sync", "..\\commonwealth\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\Boys_AT_Rifle", } -- Intermediate ABP simvis_attributes = { Intermediate_Model = 1 }

The files are located at data\art\models\weapons. The rgm-problem still exists (blue box with the machinegunner). I appreciate your help and please excuse the inconvenience of posting the wrong files.Code:model = { "..\\..\\Common\\CompleteMotionTree.abp", -- Weapons "..\\..\\Weapons\\American\\Small_Arms\\M1919A4_HMG\\M1919A4_HMG_Sync", "Weapons\\M1_Carbine", -- Mesh "Rifleman\\Rifleman", }
I feel like there needs to be a tutorial written on how computer folders work. Your mg_gunner.abp is located at a different level of the folder hierarchy than completemotiontree.abp, so you need to add an extra "..\\" in the M1919A4_HMG_Sync line.
I got the PM guys but I havent seen these models in question so I have no idea what we are talking about. I am sorry, I wasnt really looking but where are these models, where can I see them?Well, I decided to send Inukshuk a PM after all. Let's just wait for his answer.
I think you might want me to use these as basis for my models? Only one question comes to mind - why? I mean if you have these models, why not use them? As is. Maybe I am missing the point...like I said I havent seen them.
@inukshuk
They are talking about these.
Well Inuk, it would perhaps save you time, that's the only reason. We're going to use them, but it's hard to find animators who feel like helping nowadays..
Edit: I'm not sure if you want to create them now that we have these models though..
Ok, my bad that I didn't look for the folder levels. The rgm problem is gone, but the weapon isn't shown and the animation is the same as with the m1917 which shows up, when the animation is finished. Guess it has to be with the attrib files. I checked it. The files that came with the m1919a are in it. Are there any modifications to do in the mg_gunners epbs?
@TT
These models look good to me. Just by looking at pictures I cannot be sure but I think their poly-count is sky high - but so are the EF models! A simple wreck should counterbalance the problem. Anyway, these models were made for a specific mod of a specific game I reckon - do you have permissions to use them?
My question still stands: why do you need me TT? Why not use these models as is? Except for the Raba truck each one is skinned. I am not sure ewhat you mean by "using them as a base". These vehicles are ready to go. Once animated I mean.
Send me the models and I will take a look but like I said before - I am not sure what I can help with.
As you probably noticed I am not too active nowadays. The last batch of my weapons probably will not even get released. I left the tank models half done. I am doing only super-high-poly models lately and video tutorials for my website and neglected CoH modding. I am not sure if CoH modding still exist...
TT, do you have my email adress still?
I only have you on skype, Inuk, could you PM me your e-mail? These models were made for Battlefield 1942 and later Battlefield 2, but I do have permission. The wreck should counterbalance it, yeah. The reason why I asked you is that I also thought it's too hipoly and that's why I asked you about them.. If they are alright, then okay, I'll try to get somebody to get them ingame!
Cheers.
BTW, Eli, is the StuG3 included in one of the StuG4 packages at your site?

Tiger, I've recently started animating tanks and weapons. If you'd like to send me a link to download these models, I'll try animating them for you, though I'd like to do this so that I can use them in my own mod as well. Also, I'd encourage you to still look for other animators as well, given my workload. Anyway, PM me.
Also, inukshuk, if you have any spare CoH models, go ahead and send them to me, and I'll see if I can animate and/or finish them. I probably wouldn't do all of them, but at least my finishing them would make your work worthwhile. I'll also be sure that they're released to the community, not just isolated in my mod.
I wasn't sure where to post this because the CMP thread is closed and I can't send you a PM. So in the CMP thread I downloaded the file fixed_76mm_shermans as I assumed it was the 76mm sherman with the fixed gun barrel. But it has a password. So... what's the password? Or am I not allowed to view or use the file?
I'll remove it later.
So, I added your G41, Karabiner 43, and M1919a4 and several other weapons to a mod I'm working on. I don't see the weapons anywhere under the axis (in those gun's cases) soldiers/weapons list to add to the selected troops' abp file. Where can I find the added weapons/what should I add to each abp file in order for each weapon to properly appear?
Edit: so I opened the zipfile again and traced the path. Will pasting [[G_41_Rifle\G_41_Rifle]], into the soldier abp of my choice result in the weapon appearing properly?
Edit: nvm, I just reverted to an old version of my mod and kept working on it without any new models in it. The Lee-Enfield without a bolt pull anim does a fine job at a G41 stand in anyways.

@eliw00d
I have a problem with the weapon g-41
seems to be missing some attrib file and not put to work like the gun
I can do to fix this
@striker
You have to make your own. The readme should contain all the information you need.
well I try to do one with the data that you say
I edit the file g-43 and put the data of g-41 but do not see the weapon and the squad appears in a blue cube
You did not read the instructions clearly, then. You have to extract it exactly the way it is given. Moving or renaming the files will cause problems unless you know what you're doing.
I might upload a modified version that includes attribs if I have time.
if you try to do is I am new to this and do not know how
In the meantime, The Armoury is a good place to learn how to mod. There are tutorials as well.
Can you fix the M1919A6 tracers? are invisible...
@ Eli (apologies for posting it here, but I guess you don't want to receive PMs), would I be able to use parts of your unit rating system from Fortress Europe in Operation Avalanche? I realise it's a silly thing to ask about but I don't want ModDB to come down with the "stole original content and ideas from another mod!!!11eleven!1!" card. Formatted something like this (taken directly from my current, unreleased ucs file)?: 15000217 Squad of Engineers from the 10th Engineer Reg., 3rd Infantry Division. Engineers can construct basic defenses and base buildings alike, and can repair damaged Vehicles and Structures. Equipped with an M2 Flamethrower for assaulting dug in troops or an SCR Mine Detector for removing enemy minefields, Engineers play a vital part in the Allied war machine. Combat Rating: Cautious.
Using Untested/Cautious/Competent/Experienced/Veteran/Fanatic, some of which obviously also came from Fortress Europe.
@Volsky
You could post the question in our mod's thread here (also linked in my signature). That question is probably best directed at Sturmhaubitze, who came up with the rating system and the names in it. Personally, I think you could come up with your own terms, especially since a lot of those don't fit "Combat Rating" very well.
@eliw00d,
What could be the reason why the machineguns setup off screen are showed invisible? Is it due to bad installation or model is bugged? I've tried everything...
-Tripods also don't shown when they are garrisoned. Can this be fixed?
Thanks for your hard work
@Dartborne
No idea. You'll have to ask Darkblade, it is his work. I just packaged it and adjusted a few things.
And can you fix the M1919A6 tracers? are missing. ( m1919a6_tracer )
tripods dissabled in buildings, is triggered with states in the rgo file. you need OE to change it, if you dont have it, wait for him. I wont change it without his permission.
@Dartborne
Tripods disappearing when garrisoned was intentional. If you need this fixed on a personal level, send a PM to nachocheese.
As for the M1919A6 tracers, I will fix them when I have time. I have other priorities at the moment. In the meantime, you are welcome to fix them on your own. Making changes to an .RGO in the Object Editor that do not involve mesh selectors is quite easy. If you know your way around Mod Studio, then you shouldn't have any problems using Object Editor.
ok, in buildings not appreciated, but on green cover (sandbags or low walls), the weapon is displayed "floating" in the air.
-Honestly I would love to make these changes myself, but I fail to install correctly the object editor.
