FH2 Modding Q&A

[Turkish007]

Which code do I need to edit to make bots NOT use grenades?

[gavrant]

Turkish, for every grenade, open its weapon template (.tweak) in a text editor and delete the line which starts with ObjectTemplate.aiTemplate.

Mudzin, https://www.google.com/search?q=memory+sanity+check+site%3Abfeditor.org. Good luck!

Thanks

[Mudzin]

@Gavrant: I've searched many topics and the main solution was to use bf2 debugger or look into the logs in order to find the corrupted file.... I can't use the debugger for fh2 and dont know by what program I can open this bin log files, any ideas?

Edit: Ok, removing overgrowth folder fixed this, but I just want to know what exactly caused the error, just for the future...

[gavrant]

Have you tried the FH2 debugger (search for the "Forgotten Hope 2 debugger" text in the message)?
After you run it, check the ...\mods\fh2\Logs folder, it should contain a couple of huge .log files which can be viewed in a text editor.

[Mudzin]

Ok, thanks. I forgot that I already downloaded this some time ago... 

I launched it, but no error popped out at 15%... Strange... There were some errors (I think nothing serious) later, but not at 15%...

What should I do in order to add Fallshirmjaeger helmets? I copied lines from PHL init.con and soldiers still have standard helmets...

Where can I find the Giarabub ambientsounds? I cant find them between the other map files.

EDIT: Nevermind, found what I wanted.

[Roughbeak]

The progress of creating a map is going well, but i came across a problem.

Also, i did initiate all the items in things in the  "mod manager\editor content", and i did correctly unzipped the files in common/objects/shaders etc...
Seems that the vehicles did not come up.

[KJ7]

yep thats common roughbreak.. just continue and then change the vehicles within the tweaker bar.

[Roughbeak]

You guys may have forgotten but,

How do you put that "Kidplane" into a map? I do know i need to replace an airplane (for an example in Keren the "Hawker Hardy").
That kidplane is in the fh2\objects\vehicles\for_kids

[Turkish007]

As far as I know you have to change the spawner:

For example, lets use El Alamein. go to mods/fh2/levels/el_alamein

then open server.zip, GameModes/[whatever game mode you want, I say select gpm_cqq]/64/gmaeplayobjects.con

now, in gameplayobjects.con, you have to find the spawn of a plane, to assure you have a good taxi and take-off. Oh hey, there is a Stuka spawner right there:

Code: [Select]

rem ********** Object Spawner **********
rem [ObjectSpawnerTemplate: CP_64_Alamein_AxisHQ_DE_GB_LightbomberPlane]
ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner CP_64_Alamein_AxisHQ_DE_GB_LightbomberPlane
ObjectTemplate.activeSafe ObjectSpawner CP_64_Alamein_AxisHQ_DE_GB_LightbomberPlane
ObjectTemplate.modifiedByUser "Kevin"
ObjectTemplate.isNotSaveable 1
ObjectTemplate.hasMobilePhysics 0
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 ju87d1_trop
ObjectTemplate.minSpawnDelay 90
ObjectTemplate.maxSpawnDelay 100
ObjectTemplate.TimeToLive 45
ObjectTemplate.Distance 5
ObjectTemplate.teamOnVehicle 1
You have to change the ju87d1_trop to the name of the kiddy plane file. Once you're done, save and go start a local server. Lets see what it looks like  If you encounter any errors, dunno what to do. Hope someone experienced helps you next time.

[Roughbeak]

Well i changed the code and packed it..still nothing
Here i did the map Battle of Keren/CQ/64 (replacing the Hawker Hardy). If you find any errors..well.

Code: [Select]

rem [ObjectSpawnerTemplate: conq_64_british_mainbase_plane]
ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner conq_64_british_mainbase_plane
ObjectTemplate.activeSafe ObjectSpawner conq_64_british_mainbase_plane
ObjectTemplate.modifiedByUser "Ramon"
ObjectTemplate.isNotSaveable 1
ObjectTemplate.hasMobilePhysics 0
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 kidplane
ObjectTemplate.teamOnVehicle 1

[gavrant]

Here's the way that worked for me: unpack the Keren's server.zip to a temporary folder, in ...\GameModes\gpm_cq\64\GamePlayObjects.con replace 'hardy' with 'kidplane' in the 'conq_64_british_mainbase_plane' spawner, zip the temporary server folder back, and...



Basically, it's what Turkish said and what you, Roughbeak, tried to do.

[Turkish007]

Aww, tha is a cute thing xD
