Modding Questions Thread

[D-M]

Okay, now I got some questions:
Is it possible to make infantry squads of 1 man?
How do you mod the turning radius of planes? (it's probably easy but I'm kinda busy right now.)

You can even make 500 man squads, IIRC a variable can be found somewhere in WAB data but I can't find it in WRD's so I think they maybe got rid of it and made the squad size equals to the squad's HP instead of having 2 distinct variables.

The turning radius of planes can be found in modules => mouvementhandler => TAirplanephysicConfiguration => AgilityRadiusInMeter

Beware that modifying some other values in this class can result in crash of atomic proportion. The game didn't liked in when my sovremnny tried to fly into the earth...

I wouldn't like seeing a Sovremnny crash into earth either!

I was wondering if anybody had any experience making 1 man squads because when I did it in W:AB, it was still 2 man. When I put number of soldiers to 0, crash.

Thanks for the turning radius though. I assumed it was there.

Does someone know where I have to go for deck variables?
For example I would like to rename Support to "Organic Support" and Recon to "Divisional Support".
Where do I find the deck specialisations? Would like to change the alloted slots. Also, is it possible to add more specialisations?

Also: Is it possible to mess with the 175m AP penetration scaling ?

I don't remember where the deck things are, I'll have to check once I'm back at my computer. It is possible though, just for fun I made It so that you get every slot open if you pick Denmark, and also availability bonus of 300% and 200 activation points

TShowRoomDeckRuleManager has just about everything you need. It should have an ID of 354, if I remember. You can also edit national decks in TDeckRules, but the first one has all the universal stuff like activation points, unlocked slots per category, etc.

Incidentally, if anyone is looking to recreate the ALB deck system, the activation cost per slot runs like so...

ZZ_win.dat for renaming things.

For the other two questions; Inside NDF_Win.dat:

TDeckRulesModifier for modifying deck specializations. I tried adding more specializations a while ago and didn't have much luck.

gdconstanteoriginal.ndf has settings for KE in TModernWarfareTunableConstante

Randomletters, Reds&Royals, thanks!

[The W:AB Noob]

Yeah. You have to go mto a specific ZZ_Win.dat though
I think for now, go here: Wargame Red Dragon\Data\WARGAME\PC\240000010\240000021
open that and open interface_ingame
also make sure you are opening the right language. If you are doing english, it is called us

Where do I access infantry weapons?

1. There are still 2 variables for the infantry. The first is the one in TModernWarfareDamageModuleDescriptor which is responsible for the actual 'hitpoints' of the unit. The second value is in TUniteBehaviourDescriptor, is called NbSoldatInGroupeCombat, and controls the actual amount rendered in the squad from what I can tell. No idea what happens if this first value and second are not the same.

Related to this, anyone know where to change the infantry formation spacing? I'd like to spread them out a little more. I'm looking at infantry squads of 4/6/8 for my mod and would prefer them a little less clumped than currently.

2. AgilityRadiusInMeter controls the radius of the turn that they attempt to fly - however, depending on the other variables, they might not actually be able to sustain that turn. This is apparent when you see the plane start the turn sharply and then stop and fly straight for a bit, and repeat - it is incapable of maintaining that turn rate and essentially 'stalls out'.

This became apparent as I tried setting it to around 150 for a Mig-21 and F-8, and the above behaviour happened. So while it is limit to the radius they will try to turn with in game, there is also another 'soft' limit depending on the airframe variables (the rest of the stuff in that file - and I echo the warning about touching it. Even if it doesnt crash the game it will probably spaz your aircraft out in one way or another).
