How to add vehicles from other mods?
So I'm trying to wrap my head around modding for this game, I understand how to add vehicles in the config (IE the pinned adding new unit in MP for submod thread)

however, the way the valour folder is laid out in the mods folder is a lil confusing compared to other mods, due to all of the zip files as opposed to a folder.

if I say I wanted to add a WW1 era vehicle from a mod to the UK, for example, where would I navigate to actually place these files within all these zip files

You can't add vehicles to the mod without new additional mod.

I managed to get a liberty-VIII into the mod, but it can only fire once without bugging out, gave up there lol.

Did you create new mod like this one?

Yeah, its not in the main folder files but a submod folder, the tank fires 1 round, then can't fire/infinitely reloads afterwards

Probably it's a problem with the shell or animation? I managed to put a Fiat 3000 from the interwar mod just fine, but you have to add all the ammo, weapons, shells, textures and anims I think.

I haven't found any guide, I had to discover it myself. But what you can do is go to entity > vehicles > your new vehicle folder > and search for the .DEF of the vehicle. Then open it and scroll until you see something like this (It won't look like this because this is a different tank, but the structure is the same obviously):

{extender "inventory" {box {item "bullet37 ita aphe" 47} {item "bullet37 ita fg" 45} {item "british303_belt" 960} } } {Weaponry ("restore_ik_time") {place "gun" {RestoreIKAfterAim} {weapon "37mm_da37_42" filling "ammo bullet37 ita aphe" 1} {charger "gunner"} ("abm_low") } {place "mgun1" {type "mgun_coaxial"} {weapon "vickers_mgun" filled} {foresight "foresight4"} {charger "gunner"} ("abm_mgun") {basic} } }

What you want is the inventory stuff first, where it shows 3 items called bullet 37, bullet 37 and british 303, those are the bullets and shells the tank uses. For that stuff you will go to the SET > STUFF > SHELL folder of the mod you're copying the tank from, in the folder you will copy the shells the tank uses (in this case the tank I was showing you uses bullet37 ita aphe and bullet37 ita fg so I would have to copy those two). In YOUR mod set > stuff folder you will create a folder called shell and you will paste the shells there. Let me clarify that in that folder you will only find shells, not machinegun ammo, so if your tank uses a new or different machinegun, you would have to search the machinegun weapon and ammo set just like I explained you before with the shells. But we haven't finished yet, you will see in Weaponry it uses a weapon called 37mm_da37_42, it's a cannon. You will find the weapon your tank uses in the same spot, so search it on the SET > STUFF > GUN folder of the mod you're copying it from, copy and paste it on the same folder of your mod, if you haven't created the folder create it. And that's it. This technique works for any other cannon and shells you are copying. Tell me if it worked please

Btw, always check the crash log. If this doesnt fix it, take a screenshot of the crash screen and send it to me. I might tell you where the problem is
