Round sandbags For cannons -Tutorial-

[shinji]

This mod let's you create round sand bags in the field by your cannons , They are already available online but this is for DCG.

1 - download and enable this : http://uploading.com/files/cf258d2b/Round_Sandbags.rar/
this only makes sure you have the perquisite files.
2 - adding the round sandbags to you're cannons inventory.

{extender "inventory"
{box
{item "bullet88 ap" 150}
{item "bullet88 fg" 150}
{item "sandbag_kit2" 150} <=========== HERE!!!!!
}
}
{Weaponry
{place "gun"
{weapon "88mm_kwk43" filled}
{RestoreIKAfterAim}
}
}

3 - make sure the cannon can actually place'm

{game_entity
(include "/properties/cannon.ext")
(include "/properties/shadow/tank.inc" scale(0.6))
{props "vehicle" "cannon" "medium" "round_sandbag2"<=========HERE!!! "turret" "wheeled"}

if not add "round_sandbag2" in the props list!

Peeps it's my first mod , but not my first tutorial ... I have done this for my own fun.
I'm here to help and Get help so please if I did something wrong with the mods files just tell me how to fix it
All my credit goes to DMS community , without them I wouldn't even see The mods section the the option menu LOL

lol, great picture, can barely see it, well i guess it does work well then, thanks you :booyah:

[Dwarden]

look at icons :)

[shinji]

eye of the tiger!!
:ninja:

Seriously :realbig: there is one cannon in ze picture! and it's even selected.

[jimopl]

nah i saw the cannon i meant the sandbag

[shinji]

:grin:

[Theriel]

Anyway, if it works, please post a screenie of the cannon with the sandbags around it.
Do they protect it from explosions or small arms fire?
I guess that if they work, it would be a cool add on 2.3, right?

[shinji]

LOL
I already posted a screen shot ! 8O

And for ze 2.3 ... It's not up to me!
And the devs already have a tremendous amount of work, I doubt they have the time to add this to all cannons, listen you should put the sandbags in the cannons you are using at the moment. and the every time you buy new one just add to'm. you will end up with all your cannons set.

how about just add them to a truck and call that in rather than add them to all the units?

[shinji]

I did that at first ... but then I hate trucks . they take a king tiger slot and can carry only crappy soldiers.

[Dwarden]

i wasn't adding it to units missing the support (like 88mm in example by original poster)

but this is indeed working properly for all mgs/guns which supports by default the round sandbags placement

definitely would be nice feature for upcoming DCG releases for all mgs / guns ...

We have a Half circle sandbag for mgs, mortars, and other arty units, that Ty will be releasing with a realism mod,

It is just taking a while to test, but things are looking very good right now. more to come soon
