Brother Gambit,can you talk a little bit more specific about the modifier ?.Should i add it like this 

Or like this ?

Or i could be doing it all wrong,either way since the ultramar file are private there no way for me to study them as an example

Thank in advance

[Gambit]

No, the above is not the proper method brother LemonTree

Reason: The max leaders modifier is not place properly, it is... "outside" the modifiers!!!!

You must put it into modifier_apply_ext/modifiers (but not modifiers_idle or modifiers_immediate)

 

As an example, take any HQ entity (for example, the Space Marines HQ). Specifically:

1] Open the Data\attrib\ebps\races\space_marines\structures\space_marine_hq.rgd

2] Look into modifier_apply_ext\modifiers\modifier_01.

3] You will see that it is an enable_infiltration modifier you must follow THE SAME path/method. Just copy that, and alter:

- reference: use the max_leaders_squad_modifier instead of the enable_infiltration

- application_type: set it to apply to squad

- usage type: set it to addition.

 

This is how you should put it into EVERY leader entity of your squad.

Alright so after a private discussion with brother Gambit i have decide to go back at square one:Making a new race.Is there any convience way for soulstorm to make a race for SS without doing it manually ?.Cause if there ain't then i would get down to doing manually.I read an article about AE but not sure if that is even working

 

So 1st thing 1st,i wanted to know which file is need for a new race and which i can just leave it alone. I know a little bit about racebps and i require some part from ebps and sbps but beside from that are there anything that i need ?. 

 

Thank in advance brother

The BEST approach is to see what we did we "our" races.

 

Everything stars with the race blueprint. It contains the critical info of the race!

Evenmore, it contains the paths to buildings, troops, squads...

 

So the idea is to copy anyone of our races, and rename it:

1] Copy the WHOLE (example) dark angers attrib folder. Put in in your own race mod folder, maintaining proper folder structure.

2] Then, see the racebps. Rename it to your taste. Open it, and modify EVERY extension to YOUR taste. Most importantly, the the paths to buildings, troops, squads, as I said above.

3] Now modify all folder names in your attrib folder, accordingly.

4] You may need to delete ALL rgds, but what you must keep, is the HQ rgd. Rename it in accordance with the race naming. And put JUST one builder squad, and one regular squad that you will create.

 

That's it!

You can start building upon that

brothers ,I tried to clone the imperium guard to my race that is called "amalgamator" but somehow the game keep crashing,can you kindly take a look at it ?.I double check everything and everything seem right but something is off

[fuggles]

Have you checked the warnings.log?

[Gambit]

For the moment, I am ALL INTO Chaos Daemons, so I can have a look at the weekend.

Until then, follow brother Fuggles'es suggestion: ALWAYS consult your warnings log

[LemonTree]

I just check it now and there is not much writting in that,what should i be looking for ?

Also just incase my double check is wrong.I could use a help figure the racebps path.I really need to know about which path those reference pointing to.Is that all needed for a basic new race ?.Do i need to rename both the folder and the file name within it ? 

[fuggles]

The warnings log generally says in plain English what the problem is but
Your racebps looks okay.

[LemonTree]

There is not much to say in my warning text,i did not find any "can''t load" or bug this bug that,Which imo can only be one problem : My path are missing or incorrect and/or my file are correct ,hence why i'm asking about which is what so i can double check it again and perhaps getting thing done for real

[Gambit]

In the warning log file, scroll down and seach for a "failed to load..." or "critical error" warning.

.. Or post it here, after a failed attempt to load your mod, and we will have a look.

Here is the newer file that i fixed a couple  ebps/sbps error but it still not loading

What does your module file look like?

[LemonTree]

[global]

 

UIName = New Mod

Description = 

DllName = WXPMod

Playable = 1

ModFolder = New Mod

ModVersion = 1.0

TextureFE = Art/UI/Textures/Title_winter_assault.tga

TextureIcon =

 

DataFolder.1 = Data

 

RequiredMod.1 = DXP2

RequiredMod.2 = W40k

[Gambit]

... And you DO have an HQ in your race, right?

Plus the folder paths are properly named...

[fuggles]

Is your mod folder called new mod?

[LemonTree]

Yes yes and yes brothers

[Gambit]

Well sometimes,... a mod does not start without giving any valid warning.

 

In this case, there is ONLY ONE method to see what is wrong:

Start with ANOTHER race as a template (I am talking about the attrib folder only), and start removing/renaming entries until you reach the desired end.

 

Dammit, I am too preoccupied,... I would have given it a try myself already.

Sorry man. If no solution found, I will try to see to it this weekend.

So i make commissar into a squad and manage to config the execute ability to allow commissar to shoot each other. It work on other unit as well ,however, it seem like the buff is not applied to the squad itself because it is supposed to translate to whatever squad commissar attach to (but he is a squad of his own so no attach).Anyone know how to fix it ?

Thank in advance
