So the problem here is that the gorget (the thing that protects the chin) wont attach to the breastplate. I've tried whatever, I attached the model to the spine, then ingame it was hovering infront of me. So what I did was move the helmet into the correct position with the Roto-translate-rescale option, but well, now I cant get it to attach to the cuirass and it sortof sits on the head and the gorget clips through the armor.

Hi there! I am working on a mod for a server, and a map and have been stumped by two things:

One- I would like to enable a custom button that is only usable when a player has a specific item equipped*.

Two- Similarly, I would like a custom button that returns a player to full health*.

Initial Test

This was what I created initially, but it does not seem to work correctly:
      

Code

  (try_begin),
				(player_get_agent_id, ":value_agent_id", ":value"),
				(agent_is_active,":value_agent_id"),
				(agent_is_alive, ":value_agent_id"),
				(agent_set_hit_points, ":player_id", 100, 0),
		(try_end),

*The custom button part I have sorted, it's just the actual function of each part I can't seem to get to work correctly.

You are trying to set agent hit points on the player, it should be the agent.

Hello guys,

I have managed to add back crossbows (animations and sounds) to a Napoleonic Wars based mod and have both crossbows and muskets working properly but I have an issue with the particles. I would like to restrict the smoke and explosions to muskets and pistols only (in other words only itp_type_musket and itp_type_pistol items and not itp_type_crossbow items).

In order to do that what do I need to modify in this bit of code?

Untested but it should work:

Near top of the script add

Code

(assign, ":use_particles", 1),

Then add one more conditional check where item types are checked

Code

....
(else_try),
        (is_between,":item_id","itm_first_crossbow_item","itm_item_after_crossbows"), # Crossbows # replace with actual item IDs
        (assign, ":sound_id", "snd_crossbow"), #replace with your sound name
        (assign, ":use_particles", 0), #disable particles
(try_end),
....
#btw this will only work if your crossbow items are grouped separately in items file, if they are mixed in with muskets you would have to add this check to be the first check rather than the last.

Then below block of code which plays sound, just above  the line "# Default movement" add:

Code

(eq, ":use_particles", 1), #continue if particles are used

You are using agent instead of player at player_get_unique_id, and player instead of agent at agent_is_active.

You're welcome.

Hey guys I am really struggling with Plumes on helmets,

Namely for the British Coldstream Officer (I added a plume on)
British Hussar Serjeant/Officer (Added a plume on)
Light Infantry/Rifle Officer Officer Plume

I don't know what the fuck I've done, but after I zoom out a certain degree the plume disappears, I am sure it has something to do with LOD's.
But I have tried every type of combination I can, I have mimicked other classes also with plumes and copied their LOD text, but still the plumes disappear after a certain duration.
Any ideas?

[PelvicThrust]

Fixed it, was a LOD issue (from what I can gather, if you hat has like 4 lods, so will the plume attached)

Hello all, I have an issue with main menu of my mod, some lines overlap themselves, and there is a very large space between "Tutorial" and "Multiplayer" lines.



How can I fix it?

[Woeski]

Maybe you tried to remove the singleplayer in a way that this happens, you can also just remove the tutorial in the module.ini.

I also have a pretty simple question... when I try to make a new mission template just by copy pasting an old one and changing the name - I get an error... So my question is simply how do I make a new mission template

What file / setting changes the musket and cannon volume of distant sounds in NW? I want to make them a tiny bit louder so you can hear them in the distance a bit better.

[Waffss]

I created my own troop on NW and gave it a list of weapons but every time I respawn I stay with the same weapon.
I want the troop to work exactly as partizani in NW

Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance

So you added several items to the unit in troops.py (like I believe you already did). Now here comes the script part.

Open scripts.py search (ctrl + F) for the comment line '# And randomise your item selection ^^'.
You should see this:

Code

         
(try_begin), # And randomise your item selection ^^
           (player_get_troop_id,":my_troop_id",":my_player_no"),
           (this_or_next|eq,":my_troop_id","trp_russian_partizan"),
           (eq,":my_troop_id","trp_russian_cossack"),

Then you should copy the line '(this_or_next|eq,":my_troop_id","trp_russian_partizan"),' under itself and change the trp_russian_partizan with your unit (remember the trp_ prefix).

What file / setting changes the musket and cannon volume of distant sounds in NW? I want to make them a tiny bit louder so you can hear them in the distance a bit better.

I think maybe in scripts.py at the script:   # script_multiplayer_server_play_sound_at_position

But I don't really know... honestly I never really noticed distant sounds in the game anyway...
