Sand box mod help

[Mr X]

Which is far too many for anyone playing bz2 to deal with.

It would be a bit cumbersome in game, wading through menus to find what you want.

That, or people's heads may explode from all of the possibilities.

here this is psrt of a working ODF for a unit whith 100 buildable items you can test it your self just fill in the "__" 's whith what ever you whant ie. copy part to you own con

[AHadley]

The parts that make it work are the whole point. Without the whole ODF we can't be sure your design is actually going to work. AFAIK this is beyond the class's limits.

[Nielk1]

It's 109 counting base slots, not 110.

[S.cavA.rmyG.en]

It's 109 counting base slots, not 110.

the con. part of the unit works I just removed the craft class setting and exc. that I used to get my SAT con. to work copy everything under [ConstructionRigClass] in to your own con. it sould work I just don't want some one copying the SAT con. till I am done with my Mod.
as for Nielk take a look at the "categoryTypeOverride = #" tag 10 is a base slot but it is normaly used for comtowers wich are not a used base buildings it uses the 0 key. thats some thing new in 1.3 ta5
all the overrides are listed in Commando's mod log.

[Nielk1]

Have you actuly TRIED this? I have NEVER gotten a 10th base slot EVER, and I tried. Thus, 109...

[S.cavA.rmyG.en]

fine 109 is still a good #.
now I gus I can try making the 10th work right?
don't think it will be to hard its just some small code to change.
no I did not test it becouse I did not want a comtower as a base building.

When one of the more experienced modders on the board says he's tried and failed, that's generally not a sign that it's possible

[S.cavA.rmyG.en]

it's possible just need to add 10 in to the config.

[Clavin12]

How about we stop arguing and have him test it.

Not sure who this is directed at but I tried it before as I said. Test it yourself, does not work. There is no such thing as baseslot 0/10. Thus you can have a max of 109 controllable objects at a time.

[TheJamsh]

yerp. not possible. 9 is the limit of base slots.

[S.cavA.rmyG.en]

but still a con. that can build a 100 units is possible and I have tested that.

Yes, hence why NO ONE AT ALL said anything about your god damn constructor.
