Equipment Tweak Mod v1.3: Optional Backpacks, Spontoons and Ammoboxes (UPDATED 5/3/15)

[somerandomMinja]

Yes. The only remaining bug is that the spontoon breaks the ground when crouching, but it's a minor issue (and an unavoidable one until we can add our own animations).

Yea I saw that , but thats no big deal . For now , it looks perfectly fine compared to before .

Man, the officer holding the spontoon in a way like saying "Oh dare you to come anyhow closer!" is pure AWESOME!

I would my pants if I were the enemy.

I am having an issue that involves the spontoon being invisible for the British Officers.The animation of them holding it is there,but the object itself is missing,anyone else having this issue arise??

Is it only the British or have you seen it happen with others?

Further evaluation shows me it is all of them.it actually appears that their entire equipment pack is missing for some reason,meaning i notice they do not have a sword when mounted(only standing)and they do not have a pistol yet they are able to fire...interesting,perhaps a corrupt install of your pack,or perhaps improper loading order of the mod???

It might be the latter. If warscape_equipment_themes is being overwritten by something else, it would erase the equipment assigned to the officer, but the animations could still take place. Ensure that ETM loads last and see if the problem goes away. If not let me know.

Hmm for some reason the ammo boxes don't seem to appear when i use the full version

Seymour and others, in some cases ETM is not overwriting other mods that use the same tables even when it's loaded last. In theory, this shouldn't happen, but so much for theory . If you have problems, let me know what other mods you're using and I'll make a compatible version. It's very fast and easy.

Here is a Prussia Realistic Uniforms Mod compatible version. Replace the original mod_prussia_realistic_db.pack with this one.

I downloaded the full version and my soldiers still have packs. However my officers have spontoons....any ideas on how to fix?

Yes. One of the tables is being overwritten by another mod. First, make sure that ETM is loading last. If that doesn't work, come back and tell me what mods you're running and I'll make you a compatible file.

[l_commando]

The major mods I am running are Imperial Splendour, The Glory of the Russian Empire, Prussia Realistic Uniforms, Lethal 2.3 Long Range, and Regalia flags. The rest are sound mods and minor retextures.

I'm using the full version tweak mod and it doesn't work when I enter it in my Empire User Script:

"equipment_tweak_mod.pack;"

Why?

Make sure you have the full syntax:
"mod equipment_tweak_mod.pack;"

Erasmus, Thanks for including my mod at the start of your page, I'm flattered +rep.

[nigelnire]

Great mod Thanks !

[Heartbraker]

It might be. I've had difficulty getting backpacks and ammoboxes on the same model. I'll have a look at it though.

I'm curious, Have you had any luck with getting both ammoboxes and backpacks on the same model?

Unfortunately not. For whatever reason they won't show with backpacks.

Hi Erasmus777

Regarding spontoons, can you replace the spontoons that the Uhlans have been given with proper lances?

Cheers,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm assuming you mean what they use in vanilla as I haven't made any changes to the Uhlan equipment. Their lances definitely do look similar to spontoons, though. I could try giving them half-pikes, which iirc look more like traditional lances. My computer is in the shop at the moment, but when I get it back, I'll give it a try.

This will be in Danish mod, right?
