Thanks, I hope there aren't too many dead links in there.

Hi!

I tried to search but had no luck, so I decided to start a new topic for me and every other wannabe-modder :typing:

How do you make a simple mp mod, like changing unit costs, increasing the cp limit, changing squad's weapons/men and so on? So no 3d modelling or such. I know how to open those pak-files, but where could I find the files I need, and how can I build a mod out of them? I'd really appreciate some detailed advice, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Taken from vehicles.set:

{"bedford_inf" ("vs" c(90) t(all vehicle use_charge inf) s(eng) n(2) g(vh_sup) sc(5) a(1) b(vh_cn) i(22) cw(0) cp(0)) {cost 15} {fore 1}}

Does anyone have any idea what the a(1) and cw(0) does?

Hi all, I have a question. Where and how can I change the explosion effect of a determinated weapon/explosive? Such as grenades, HE rounds.

I changed almots all of the explosion effects, but i want to create new explosion effects.
Ive bin searching the file that "connects" the explosion effect to the determinated explosion but there is nothing related.

Thanks in advance!

Check the *.inc files in set\interaction\entity
add_view command links FX-types to entity bones.

Does anyone know how to change the background of the main menu into a picture?

Exchange the .avi with a picture, nice and simple. Though, theres some overlay on the menu which makes kinda sepia looking, dunno bout that

Does anyone know of a way or a mod that makes everything stay forever, debris, destroyed vehicles, corpses etc? A tank that could potentially be great cover shouldn't disappear, neither should a corpse with valuable ammo on it. (Okay, I just love watching the carnage )

So, anyone know? I would really love that, as it has been bugging me incessantly ever since I discovered it.

And, how do you install mods?
