Aris FB tank whitewash mods not activating?

[RMM]

Playing through the training scenarios/campaign, but the PzIVJ's are appearing in their camo skins of the mod instead of the whitewash skins. Wrong tag (it's labelled as [whitewash])? 

[Frenchy56]

The [whitewash] tag only kicks in starting January 1945.

If you want to have the mod appear, you'll have to rename the files without the tag.

[Frenchy56]

You could tag it [snow] so it shows up when there's snow on the ground.

[Erwin]

That makes sense.

Yeh, I was wondering about that, because I see that tag in other mods of his in. Sometimes, a file's tagged both [Whitewash] and [snow]. Tks for the tip. I'll change up the tags accordingly

So, one can add more than one tag to file names?

[Frenchy56]

Yes, as long as it's between the two [ ]'s separated by a space. Modified files will show up when those two mod tags are active at the same time.

Ohh, at the same time? So, adding 'snow' to the tag, like I did, still wouldn't work outside of 1945? I noticed that adding 'snow' to the tags didn't change anything when I did it. I'll try adding it as a separate tag, and see if that works. I presume one can add more than one tag to the file name, in separate [ ] ?

Nope, listing them as separate tags didn't work either. Hmm

Soo, to make it work, I've had to create duplicate files of the 'whitewash' tags and retag them, separately as 'snow'. Now it works whenever there's snow.

The mod tag [snow] usually works on my snow mods, so I dont know why it doesnt in your case. Have you read this thread?

Did you try renaming them [whitewash snow]? I think that would work too.

[whitewash snow] would make it show up when there's snow on the ground during or after January 1945.

As @Frenchy56 just noted. Unfortunately, that would still restrict it to 1945; ie. only activated when both tags are applicable. To make the whitewash appear whenever conditions are snowy, I'm having to create separate, duplicate files that were originally tagged [whitewash], and retag them just [snow]
