Help with mini-mod units?

[General BlackDragon]

Yea.

From what I gather, The mod will work like this: There will be 4 parts. The first release, plain old BZC, will be a TC that turns BZ2 into BZ1 with improvements. The next will be a smaller addon that is BZC:TRO, tacks on the TRO Chinese and BDog races in SP campaigns from that. Then the fun begins with BZC:Extended, a bridging of tech+storyline inbetween BZ1 and BZ2. Then the BZC:Ancients takes you back in time to play as the cthonians.

Atleast, that's what I understand from the gist of it. Av can explain it better...

And we MIGHT get the BDog Campaign from BZ2ROTBD, not sure. It would likely be like a hybrid of the PC/N64 interface to give the feel of the console without the most annoying limitations.

And just like that, the next 15 years in our diaries all say waiting for new BZC addon.

How can I get a factory to build units under sub categorys (like an armory and some factorys in pb4)?

How can I get a factory to build units under sub categorys (like an armory and some factorys in pb4)?

Set it up like this:

(yes this is from SRV)

Code Select Expand


[FactoryClass]
buildItem1 = "ivmbike_srv"
buildItem2 = "ivmisl_srv"
buildItem3 = "ivtank_srv"
buildItem4 = "ivrckt_srv"
buildItem5 = "ivatank_srv"
buildItem6 = "ivwalk_srv"
buildItem7 = "ivapc_srv"
buildItem8 = "ivbomb_srv"
buildItem9 = "ivmine_srv"

[Buildgroup10]
buildLabel = "Adv. Factory"
buildItem1 = "ivfrecy"


Notice how there is no buildItem10, but there is now a section called BuildGroup10. You can set up any number like this, just dont include the number you want to put a subgroup on (say, item 6), and make a BuildGroup# section filled out like it is above. There can be an additional 10 units in each subgroup, just set them up like the main list under FactoryClass.
