Need help with modding- changing weapons.
Im attempting to give conscripts MP44s, and I cloned the Panzergrenadier MP-44,renamed it and changed a few stats. It works ingame, but the weapon is invisible in their hands and doesn't make any sound.
Anyone experienced w ith modding capable of helping a guy out? Thanks.

The weapon is missing is the .abp from the Conscript. Tutorial about editing .abp files: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_ZrH0gUcr0

i've followed the instrructions, will this also work for custom weapons, or will i have o make a custom entry for them? i've made a weapon based off of the panzerfaust, and added the "..\\..\\weapons\\panzerfaust_100\\panzerfaust_100" to the conscript's .abp file

do i need to do any other work?

If you mean a custom model, CoH2 cannot import custom models at all. You have to use existing models for new weapons.

The .abp file points to a model, not to the object in the attribute editor. So you can just use the original Panzerfaust in this case, while editing its damage values in the xml in the attribute editor.

Got it, thanks a bundle! You're a life saver man.

Huh, I've added the burn folder and the subfolders, but now I'm unable to build- or even rebuild my mod. I'm afraid I'm stuck. The error I get is, "Error rebuilding cursed-mod.mod: The system cannot find the file specified."
I temporarily removed the data folder out of the folder where the .mod file is, and it still doesn't work. In addition, adding in the .abp files hasn't seemed to work either. I tried using a panzerfaust ability or giving conscripts a panzershreck (not a slot item) and they still have invisible weapons.

The update from yesterday removed the attribute.exe which is needed. Relic already apologised and promosed a hotfix on monday.
