To all you WFAS modders out there and soon-to-be: here's a thread dedicated to modding WFAS co-op!!
Share your tips and cool findings to help expand the community's knowledge of Co-op script
This is a thread to help us all discover more about the complicated aspects of co-op. Making everyone's lives a lot easier
How to add custom troops to co-op, the pro way.
new troop selection script (overwrites old code)
How to get more troops (module_scripts) (overwrites old code)
How to make stronger troops (in module_mission_templates) (overwrites old code)
Item unlocks
Line 11491 in the native module code.
find the script
("multiplayer_display_available_items_for_troop_and_item_classes", it's below the block that says # wave information
Basically this code makes the more expensive items unlock later.
":border_wave" is the item's unlock wave. The value of ":item_price" is the exact amount of gold the item costs.

How to add custom troops to co-op, the pro way.
Note: The easiest way to change co-op troops is to replace them in module_troops. But this way is more flexible
First open module_constants
Find and copy these lines
rename the new one to be whatever you want.
troops_begin is the first custom troop on your list, end is the troop right after the last one
Save and open module_scripts
At line 3075 add your new units
The numbers to the right decide the units Troop Type/Strength
Make sure you have equal amounts of all three units, for simplicity use the exact same numbers that are there.
Now count every tier 1 infantry.
Change this value to the number of every tier 1 infantry that will be used in the game. (don't count the ones you're replacing)
(assign, "$g_mp_num_troops_per_type_tier123", 6),
do the same for tier 4
(assign, "$g_mp_num_troops_per_type_tier4", 7),
CHECK THE CHANGES ABOVE, ANY MISTAKES WILL SPAWN NAKED TROOPS INSTEAD
Now find this block of code and edit as shown
With some tweaking you can add even more troop varieties, or change variety depending on the wave number. Have fun!!

search files for (assign, "$g_multiplayer_squad_size", 6), and change the value 6 to the number you want
