V Framework Buddy Outfits

New costumes for Quiet, tack for D-Horse and gear for D-Dog, picked in Sortie Prep like the vanilla ones. New rifles for Quiet are custom weapons.

Place all calls inside this.LoadLibraries().

Functions

RegisterBuddyOutfit needs an AddToEquipDevelopTable row with the same key.

RegisterBuddyOutfit

V_TppBuddyService.RegisterBuddyOutfit({
  key   = "MyMod:QuietRed",
  quiet = { fpkPath = "/Assets/tpp/pack/mymod/buddy_quiet_red.fpk" },
})

Returns value, developId, or false.

Branch fields

Bruises show only when a script sends GameObject.SendCommand(quietId, { id = "SetBruise", enable = true }).

D-Horse tack

horse = {
  fpkPath    = "/Assets/tpp/pack/mymod/buddy_horse_armor.fpk",
  damageRate = 0.4,
  soundType  = 4,
},

Vanilla values:

D-Dog gear

dog = {
  fpkPath       = "/Assets/tpp/pack/mymod/buddy_dog_armor.fpk",
  commandType   = V_DogCommandType.KILL,
  damageRate    = 0.5,
  bulletFlinch  = false,
  soldierThreat = true,
},

Vanilla BATTLE DRESS: damageRate 0.25 during orders, bulletFlinch false, armour effect and sound, escapeDistance and hitRetreatDistance 10, retargetRange 15. Soldiers treat the two SNEAKING suits and BATTLE DRESS as a threat.

Sortie Prep cost and ability line come from the R&D row: usageGmpCost and langPowerUpInfo0 (e.g. "ability_1043").

The package

Copy the vanilla package and point its .fox2 at your .parts; ship the .fpkd and .pftxs with it.

Tack plays like NORMAL and gear like NAKED apart from the fields you set; Quiet costumes only change the look. Customize colours and designs still apply. Quiet wears NAKED in “A Quiet Exit”.

R&D row

V_TppMotherBaseManagement.AddToEquipDevelopTable("MyMod:QuietRed", {
  const = {
    equipDevelopTypeID = TppMbDev.EQP_DEV_TYPE_Quiet,
    langEquipName      = "name_mymod_quiet_red",
    iconFtexPath       = "/Assets/.../ui_quiet_red",
  },
  flow = {
    grade            = 1,
    developGmpCost   = 1000,
    initialAvailable = 1,
  },
})

Leave equipID out. Other fields: AddToEquipDevelopTable.

Quiet weapons

Build the rifle as a custom weapon, then give its R&D row equipDevelopTypeID = TppMbDev.EQP_DEV_TYPE_Quiet. It appears in Quiet’s weapon list; no other call is needed.

V_TppMotherBaseManagement.AddToEquipDevelopTable("MyMod:QuietRifle", {
  const = {
    equipID             = TppEquip.EQP_WP_MyQuietRifle,
    equipDevelopTypeID  = TppMbDev.EQP_DEV_TYPE_Quiet,
    equipDevelopGroupID = TppMbDev.EQP_DEV_GROUP_BUDDY_010,
    langEquipName       = "name_mymod_quiet_rifle",
    iconFtexPath        = "/Assets/.../ui_quiet_rifle",
  },
  flow = { grade = 1, developGmpCost = 1000, initialAvailable = 1 },
})

Quiet weapon animations

Quiet has rifle animations only. Give a weapon its own:

V_TppBuddyService.SetQuietWeaponMotion{
  equipId = TppEquip.EQP_WP_MyLauncher,
  quietMotion = {
    mtar  = "/Assets/tpp/motion/mtar/mymod/quiet_launcher.mtar",
    clips = { hold = "...", aim = "...", fire = "...", reload = "..." },
    prone = { hold = "...", aim = "...", fire = "...", reload = "..." },
  },
  weaponMotion = { clips = { fire = "...", reload = "..." } },
}

A clip is a path, MtarTool id or 0x id. Leave a move out and she plays her rifle clip for it. aim must be a 25-frame aim sweep like hers; author fire and reload against your aim.

SetBuddyOutfit

V_TppBuddyService.SetBuddyOutfit("MyMod:QuietRed")

Takes a RegisterBuddyOutfit key or a Quiet weapon’s R&D key. If that buddy is out, it changes at once; otherwise it is worn next time.

Returns true, or false when the buddy is busy (try again later).
