Hi Guys, I need some help with modding in weapons which are already within the game. Basically I've already got it so that weapons such as the benelli m4 or the ak47 show up in the armory of the greenbelts, the problem is how do I get the UI to register the multiple guns and so show all of them because at the moment I can only add say 4-5 extra guns in before they go off to the left of the armory menu. Regards M.Cooper |

You can't, at least not currently. The inventory was designed for around 6 items per category, and we've already gone over it in vanilla too. |

I do believe something will be done to enable better interaction with larger armories, not sure yet what it will be.. scaling down all items / partial overlapping / scrolling / pages / different armory door points for different resources, who knows. The xml configurations you've been modifying are usable in lobby and quick matches. Campaign applies some modifications of its own to resource settings using scripts, so they end up overriding your changes. You can mod the scripts too if you want to have your changes in the campaign. In 0.95 they're a bit scattered around, you'd find the resources loading setup in vanilla/scripts/trackers/common_invasion_variables.php, and faction resources would be found in vanilla/scripts/trackers/stage.php separated in a few functions. The next version 0.96 will have lots of that stuff changed in order to support campaign mods better, so if you're about to make lots of changes, you might want to wait for the new version to not end up in the maintenance and merge hell. |

Please avoid partial overlapping, the total war series from Empire onward is a brilliant example as to how bad partial overlapping can be. |

It has been completed already. Scaling down all items was the chosen approach. Can't remember to which extent it was tested, but I think it handles 30 items on a row fine. The game also supports multiple armory interaction points which can provide different items, but you'd be looking into map editing too if you needed that. |

Ahhh...now that you've mentioned it, I now do notice that in effect. I was afraid I could only fit, like, ten guns per slot but back then I added five more past ten items and still I'm not reaching the edge, good one. And good to know!
