For movement I used the "one handed carry, running/walking" animations that the medkit uses, but I made the aiming, crouching, and firing animations. There are two animations already in game, pistol recoil and standing while aiming, but they're two-handed instead of the old fashioned style I wanted.

damn, smart move around there

Naw, not my idea. I had started working on some running animations before realizing that MrNuckFuggets used the one handed carry animations in his WorldWar mod which ended up way better.

Nice screenshot! Since you've removed rockets from the game, you could change the "OMG rocket" to something else. Your work is amazing, far beyond my amateur modding skills - but this fix is something even within the small realm of my skills.

Inside the projectile file for the tanks, there's some lines like this.


Modify the "incoming" or "omg rocket" to whatever you want.



False. While TGW is an excellent mod for CoH, I personally prefer more of the realism based ones (IE: Blitzkrieg, Normandy 1944, etc.) If someone made a realism submod for the WWI mod I would then be their biggest fan.

Being a developer for TGW 1918, I can already tell you that it's pretty much identical to the damage model of BK. Although hardly as unforgiving as N44 after the patch.

And oh, A7V!

Yeah, I noticed the reaction text but must have forgotten to change it. I also just noticed a couple visual bugs despite being almost sure I had fixed them. And hey, I've never really done much modding before this, and there's still a lot I need to figure out. The game's really mod-friendly, and the art style means you don't need a huge amount of skill to make models and textures for it. All I've really needed is a heck of a lot of patience.

But anyways, another teaser.

Yeah I've done a bit of work on occasion for other games and this is by far the most moddable of any modern game I've done any work with UNLESS you want to make a map. (Though I've gotta say the most moddable game I've modded is DooM)

I've done a bit of experimenting with vehicle modding, but hadn't ever really had any luck. It would be awesome, if you have the time, went and made a tutorial or step-by-step on how you did got a custom vehicle into the game.




In terms of infantry, maybe. I haven't played much since the original release or one of the first patches - the tank combat seemed more like vanilla for sure. One of the things I felt that was odd was the tendency for the field guns to miss by obscene amounts, dunno if that's been changed though.

I keep wanting to get into the map editing part, then end up putting it off and working on something else. And yeah, if you want I can make a little tutorial on creating and importing models and making vehicles.

Yeah I tried getting into map editing, it's quite difficult - hopefully it'll come easier to you than it did to me. And yeah, a vehicle tutorial would be brilliant.
