If all the Russian troops use the same pants mesh then it can only be done as a separate modification. Darn pants sharing.

Damnation. Thanks for help.

mmm not really, you can delete in the brf the pants shared by some units and place an invisible object, then add the pants that you want to the coat as a part of the object (.1 .2 .3 ...) for each troop that was using the pants of the begining. Its a hard work but it works xD


An example: The russian dragon pants was used by rusian cavalry and few officers from other nations, so I pasted the invisible object with the pants name (rus_dragoon_pants) but then I need to add the pants as a part of the russian dragoon coat (rus_dragoon_ranker.3)

You can find the invisible object in mmweapons.brf

Marks, I have made a video of my problem in OpenBRF. And yes, these changes happen in-game.

It should be here when it's processed:

Well the method below may work, sometimes the pants may clip through each other being an attached mesh and assigned pants itm

Damn OpenBRF. Looks like your main hat model, the actual hat is missing. Unless that somehow turned invisible.

Just fixed it by messing around in OpenBRF.

I selected both of the meshes, and clicked Backfacing faces > add (x2 faces) and it worked.

Well good to hear you got it fixed, and that will be useful reference should anyone be looking for a solution to the same problem.

So, i'm trying to replace the musket particles so i  added them into particle_systems, deleted the musket fire and smoke effects in scripts.txt and added them under each gun in item_kinds1.txt however they are not showing up in multiplayer, what code should i put for them to show up?

Why exactly would you remove the musket fire and smoke effects from scripts? And then move the module_particle_systems snippet to the item code? That seems to be why you do not get them in-game yet. Keep the code from scripts in scripts and keep the code from module_particle_systems in the module_particles_system file. You should only need to modify the code in module_particle_systems instead to change the musket particles. Adding the particles code to an item in module_items may not work the same way.

Im just wondering how to put old NW grass again to use. I have new grass, but it causes problems, so i want to make that old work

To answer your question whatever the new grass is, if it is a texture file should be easily replaced with NW's old texture file if you know the name of the Texture. Probably terrain_grassy.dds?

[Dazzer]

terrain_grassy is not grass. I just want to bring back old grass, not changing textures.

they do not show up correctly ingame if i only modify the particle system, i removed the code about fire and smoke musket effects in scripts.txt and added the code under the guns in item kinds because i dont understand how to implement that code in scripts.txt, aside that my main problem is that the particles show up in custom battles only and not in multiplayer

What do you mean by bring back old grass? Re-adding old grass meshes in BRF files?

Wait, so if I read that right.. you removed the code in scripts.txt but did not say why you had to remove it. To implement what code? The musket particles? If it's some open source code it should tell you what file it goes under and where. Most likely if you are editing or replacing the musket particles it would go under particle_systems.txt or module_particle_systems.

Have you seen Step 8 in this tutorial? https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=11836.0 This lists how to edit the musket particles. I am puzzled why one would put additional code on an item.
