EffectSequences not so easy to do correctly :?

Can anyone tell me what exactly these numbers represent ? Is there a duration ?

The pure duration of the separate effects is defined through the "effects.txt" file.

The "effectSequences.txt" file defines how these effects will be strung together - i.e. the order in which they are played. And the first number's the timer; in other words the starting time of said effect. I guess it represents seconds and deciseconds.
(Please correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't worked on these files for some time now.)

This means that in my example "0.7 BarrelSmoke 0"(ligne 127) begins 0.7 units of time after "1.0 damage"(ligne126) ?

No, it's not cumulative, but absolute.
It means, that it will fire 0.7 seconds after the sequence began. The other one at time index 1.0s. The position in the queue (line) is irrelevant. If there are multiple entries with the same time index, they'll just start playing simultaneously.

This sequence is the same as before (?), I have ranked the effects in chronological order :

Dying to see what results from your work :)

This is the impression I got from testing my Panzergrenadiers :mrgreen:

Yeah, I would say that it should have the same results: changing nothing in the sequence.

But from your post I did not quite understand whether it worked for you or not? Did you test it with your new units?

Thank you, it has saved me a lot of time :D (with units that have 4 soldiers :evil: )

I didn’t have time to deal with the pictures, it looks like this at the end of the list to purchase (Novgorod, Endsieg) :

There is a bug with unique_scenario = false but there is a solution, if you put an official scenario in the folder scenario of the mod like this, it will unlock all the scenarios and campaigns :

The rest of the units will come later (Panzerfüsilier, Osttruppen, sniper, Brandenburger, Double Mortar Team...).

For Stats, I have found a temporary solution that can serve as the basis :

- Garrison = Security Guards = Infantry '37 with no expiration
- Panzerknacker = Volksgrenadier = Volkssturm
- Recruits = Light Infantry = Infantry - one year (ex : Recruits '40 = Infantry '39)
- Sturmpioneer = Engineer

(This mod is in English Language, if you want to change rename the file english_mod.txt in the Language folder, Ex : french_mod.txt )

The link : http://www.mediafire.com/file/35wiaxmpd ... 9.zip/file

If you want to take full advantage of this mod, play with zoom at max :idea:

Works and looks okay. Good job with the effect sequences! But I wondered why the "Panzerknacker" units have such weak stats against, well, Panzers. :wink:

-> Panzerknacker = Volkssturm

I thought that with a Panzerfaust, volkssturm would be good against tanks, but that’s not the case :(

Example Volssturm vs German Infantry '44 :

Panzerfüsilier :

Abilities :
AT Grenade - Fires a weak AT rifle grenade. It deals less damage than a Panzerfaust or Panzerschreck, but the main purpose of this ability is to slow down enemy tanks with critical engine damage so your main AT weapons can deal with the armor more easily.

You have to copy your core from the core folder and create a core folder in the mod where you put it.

I guess they are supposed to be Italians fighting for Germany? Then it's "Italienische Freiwillige". :)

But I'm no geography or history expert, maybe there was another "Ital" country out there somewhere then... :wink:
