I love that I can have larger squads in 1.13, but unfortunately the vehicles are still restricted to six passengers. This makes them somewhat useless when I have a squad of e.g. 7 mercenaries, and I have to either leave one behind or leave the vehicle behind. Is there any way to increase the maximum amount of passengers that a vehicle allows?

Another question: would it be possible to duplicate the vehicles like you can do with mercs? If so, I could simply change the colours and we would already have a few more...

You can set the maximum number of passengers a vehicle can have in Vehicles.xml. Any number you want... as long as its < 10 (hardcoded) Smile

There can be up to 6 vehicles, so one could clone them I guess. More than 6 is... not possible at the moment.

Excellent! Thanks so much. I'll test it out when I get home. Will I have to start a new game for a change to take effect? If yes, is there any way to make the change apply to an existing saved game?

The changes will only take effect if you start a new game. In an utterly bizarre twist, the will also only take effect if you do not load an old savegame :scary: :eek3: before starting a game. I am pretty astonished as to this... odd way of coding it, but that's how it is. I might cahnge it some time, bu that doesn't help you now... start a new game.

The only way to apply that currently is via debugger.

Edit: I've coded a fix that will make this workable in existing games. I'll add this once SVN is accessible again.

That is indeed pretty strange.

Wow, awesome! Thanks so much! Can't wait to get good use out of that hummer I paid for. Keep up to good work!

As of r6093, changes to Vehicles.xml will now have an effect in a working game.

Just don't do any weird crap with this. Like defining a 9-seat vehicle when your max. squad size is 8. That might break things, didn't test (I expect oddities in that case).

I can have larger squads? is this a recent addition or is it something I can change in the .ini editor?

It's an addition since some not-too-recent unstable revision. It can be set in .ini (or was it start new game screen?) and it scales along with resolution selected then.
