MG on german tank upgrade?
« on: April 18, 2012, 10:17:56 PM »
Hello fellow EF players,

The topic already explains my question, I'm playing COH for years now, but I cant find that one particular upgrade for the Germans, and I search all over the Internet.
Does somebody knows how to upgrade/unlock the manned MG on top of a German Tank?
I really can't find it.

I want to thank the EF crew for all there hard work, so we can play this great MOD!

If it is for the Wehr then just use the Kampftcraft center with the upgrade your tanks to veterans i think it is after the 2nd upgrade you get a turret. Then for Panzer Elite you get it by Veterancy. As the tanks gain veterancy you use the offensive upgrade i think it's the 2nd offensive upgrade that gives you the turret. So Thats that  ;D
Hope i helped  :P

To unlock a german cupola mg from a Relic tank by changing RGD files, you need to do this stuff:

1) You need to assign a machine gun weapon to the tank, either from the ebps or a slot item given per upgrade, like Relic does.
2) You need to enable the crew member, look at the crew_ext property of a Relic tank with gunner, like the Panther or Pz. IV. Relic usually enables it when purchasing a certain upgrade or vet level.

Supposing the model already has the MG ready to be used, if you want to make them appear by default, make sure the aforementioned crew element have "sync_on_create" as "true" and make sure you add the mg from the slot weapon that loads to an unused hardpoint or just copy the add slot function from the upgrade on the action_apply_ext->actions->upgrade_actions or squad_action_apply_ext->actions->upgrade_actions.

Maybe this is too much XD...

Thank you both very much! Never did a lot with that kampftcraft building, that's why I overseen it for al these times I searched for it xD. But those upgrades are very strong indeed.
