Newbie Questions

I just bought DC Barbarossa so that I could get the community project engine.


1. Been looking over the editor and I can't figure out how movement distance or speed are set. For example I want a truck to travel much further than foot infantry on a road. But I don't see any settings anywhere for movement speed or distance for different terrain types or anything. Am I missing something? [&:]

Thanks.

The way Vic has set it up, things get their movement assigned by the type of unit they are. So if you use the truck template, to make a truck, it will have truck movement. Similarily if you use the Infantry template to make infantry type units, they will get infantry movement.

I am assuming you already are using the intermediate editor for this (trooptype editor).

Yes. I tried the simple editor but I couldn't find any troop libraries to load so I've been trying to create one. Also I'm trying to create a modern warfare mod so that's what I'm working on.

The simple editor is meant as something to tie in together the intermediate editors products (libraries).

If you did not already make sure to watch all the youTube tutorials I did to get a primer on how to go about all these editors.

Feel free to make requests as I am quite open to (small) changes to make life easier on modders.

For example one thing that might be really usefull is for me to add an AP modifier to the trooptype editor records. Made a note in my to-do list.

best wishes,
