Mission Creation Advices, Ask Your Questions Here

I remember that I have faced this problem in the past and tried many approaches but could not solve the problem.

I am sorry, but I do not know of a solution to this problem.

No information on using Fox-1 and Fox-3 missiles by air bots?

Hi, the wiki makes it sound like it’s possible to host multiplayer mission files from a “file hosting service” instead of WT Live, has anyone ever been able to do it? I tried a couple sites with both direct link, adding &dl=1 to url etc and haven’t been able to do it yet, the game simply rejects the url with “Mission download failed”. I have to create a bunch of different specialized missions for recording cinematics and I don’t really want to spam WT live with them.

@Tafzeel I had the same problem but with planes when I wanted to replace the old afterburners for AI planes a while ago and I did find a solution, I assume it will work for tanks as well. the idea is the following: create a custom unit that is based on the unit you want the custom skin for, then override the default_skin parameter. This bypasses the problem which is that the skin value in the object properties of the unit simply doesn’t carry over to replays.

Check the chapter called “Applying custom skins to existing units” and do as it says there but replace skin with default_skin in the blk, this way you just change the unit in the mission editor to your new one which has the skin you want!

I don’t think it’s possible unfortunately, a workaround I use is to use the player vehicle, place it somewhere off screen and drive in the same direction/speed as the AI with cruise control. This will achieve the same effect assuming the unit’s movement match each other.

Yes, the hosting name is warthundercustombattles.
I use this hosting resouce all the time for my missions.

You can also just post the file in discord. Copy and paste the file link onto the WT mission by URL. If the file link is too long you can put the link in a url shortener or delete the “https://”

@KatukovM @ReikiKage Thank you both! I think that discord will be more convenient for me, we’ll see. I did actually try discord before asking here and it didn’t work but tried again just now and removing “https://” from the url did the trick! Thanks again o7

That’s odd. I use “https” all the time and it works fine.
For example, here is the mission.
You can insert the link with “https” while creating “mission by URL”

I Used Custom Units to Apply the skins. But for some reason. Only Tanks Skins dont show up in Replays.
For the Second Question. I already am recording by going the the same direction as AI units with same speed.
Thankyou for replying tho.

Come on guys, the CDK crash club is over.
New tools were released today. Please update to the new version.
