You have to create a corresponding file in resource\set\stuff\melee

[blitzboyII]

I have, Resource/set/stuff/melee/kabar

hmm maybe I didn't port it correctly, could that be it?

[Dilust]

Does anyone know how to export melee weapons in game, because I have a kabar that I have ported succesfully but I get a red exclamation error (desc/stuff/kabar) when a soldier picks it up.
My coding in the .DEF file is as follows..

{from "pattern throwable"
{tag "hand sharp_edge"}
{inventory
{size 3 2}
}
{mass 1.5}
{entity "kabar"}
{throw
{range 10}
{constantSpeed 20}
{spreading 0.5
{radiusFunction
0.0 0
0.7 0.2
1.0 1.0
1.5 5.0
3.0 10.0
}
}
}
}

Wait a moment. The code you wrote in the previous post cannot be the code of the .def file.

This is what you should have (note this is an example based on my works):

Inside \resource\entity\inventory\-weapon\Knife_ita/knife_ita.def

{game_entity
	(include "/properties/knife.ext")
	{Extension "knife_ita.mdl"}
	{extender "stuff"
		{item "knife_ita"}
	}
}

Inside resource\set\stuff\melee/knife_ita
(note you cannot create this kind of file, simply copy an existing one and open it with notepad and overwork it)

{from "knife pattern"
	{entity "knife_ita"}
	{tag "knife sharp_edge hand"}
	{throw
		{spreading
			{radiusFunction
				0.0		0
				0.7		0.2
				1.0		1.0
				1.5		3.0
				3.0		10.0
			}
		}
	}
}

thanks mate, it works now though the it still says desc/stuff/kabar instead of kabar.

[Dilust]

This is due to the fact that you must now create a corresponding line of code inside the desc.lng localization file. You can extract this file from localization.pak file.
Then the overworked file could be placed inside your mod folder inside a new folder called "localization": in great lines you must have the mod folder and inside this folder you must have both localization and resource folder, and on this way following the folder tree structure.
I hope you can understand what I wrote because english is not my native language.

I'm trying to create a new faction (Confederate States of America in WW2). I have the models finished, as well as custom speech (selection of units, cries in action, throwing a grenade, etc). I have the names and (in theory) the nationality (reb). However, when I go into the editor to test them, the custom voices do not show up/are not played when I select the unit. What am I missing/doing wrong?

Hi

I have a problem with resizing and repositioning model's parts.
Example: I managed to resize tank gun and repositioned it too but when tank shoots -> everything goes back to it's original place and size changes back to normal too.

What I'm doing wrong or is it even possible to resize parts permanently?

Did anyone ever get it working so planes attack other planes and units without triggers instead of flying in circles all the time?

[Zeke Wolff]

You would´ve to add a line saying

<nco>single/ger/nco-l1</nco>

but you would also have to rework the .def (or crew.ext) file for the mortar itself and I guess some other files. One of the team members were working on a similar thing for antitank cannons (and similar units) long time ago, but MoW doesnt like extra personell in these units, unless you rework other files as well (but since I havent tried it myself, I can´t give you any advice to which files you need to rework, nor how you should rework them).
