Can anyone tell me where the structure experience level needed for an upgrade is defined? I checked upgrade.ini and experiencelevels.ini with no luck.

[Hostile]

They are defined in the experience.ini. I added this for my Spider Lair to raise in level and it works.

;------------- MordorSpiderCave -----------------

ExperienceLevel	SpiderLairLevel1
	TargetNames				= MordorSpiderCave MordorSpiderLair
	RequiredExperience			= 1
	ExperienceAward		  		= MORDOR_ORCPIT_LVL1_EXP_AWARD
	ExperienceAwardOwnGuysDie		= 0
	Rank					= 1
	AttributeModifiers			= BasicLevelUpProduction1
	Upgrades				= Upgrade_StructureLevel1
End

ExperienceLevel	SpiderLairLevel2
	TargetNames				= MordorSpiderCave MordorSpiderLair
	RequiredExperience			= MORDOR_ORCPIT_LVL2_EXP_NEEDED
	ExperienceAward		  		= MORDOR_ORCPIT_LVL2_EXP_AWARD
	ExperienceAwardOwnGuysDie		= 0
	Rank					= 2
	AttributeModifiers			= MordorOrcPitHitPointModLvl2 MordorOrcPitBuildSpeedModLvl2
	Upgrades				= Upgrade_StructureLevel2
	LevelUpFx				= FX:MordorOrcPitUpgrade
End

ExperienceLevel	SpiderLairLevel3
	TargetNames				= MordorSpiderCave MordorSpiderLair
	RequiredExperience			= MORDOR_ORCPIT_LVL3_EXP_NEEDED 
	ExperienceAward		  		= MORDOR_ORCPIT_LVL3_EXP_AWARD
	ExperienceAwardOwnGuysDie		= 0
	Rank					= 3
	AttributeModifiers			= MordorOrcPitHitPointModLvl3 MordorOrcPitBuildSpeedModLvl3
	Upgrades				= Upgrade_StructureLevel3
	LevelUpFx				= FX:MordorOrcPitUpgrade
End

If you want more than one upgrade to happen when it levels up just add another entery here.

Upgrades = Upgrade_StructureLevel2 Upgrade_YourUpgrade

Not what I was looking for. I wasn't being clear, I apologize. Take the Gondor Blacksmith. It needs to get to level 2 before you can get the upgrades it contains. Where is the information for that contained?

[DeeZire]

^ Its in the command button for the relevant upgrade - Options = NEED_UPGRADE and then you can specify the upgrade needed with NeededUpgrade

[Kelso]

Awesome, thanks Dee.

[Kelso]

Sorry to double-post but I had another thought.

Is it possible to stack upgrades by using a method like this? Example would be doing multiple armor upgrades on a single structure, one being more powerful then the next. It wouldn't really be stacking them more than replacing them but it would give a good illusion. I figure it could be possible just by putting in multiple armorset upgrade modules. Anyone try this at all?

[DeeZire]

I think you can do this, but only through three sets of armor. Take a look at how the Rohirrim armor 'stacks up' after getting Horse Shields and Heavy Armor upgrades. You need to use the ArmorSetFlag each time to generate a new armor set after the upgrade. You can go from PLAYER_UPGRADE to PLAYER_UPGRADE_2 and then PLAYER_UPGRADE_3.

[Hostile]

You could also use the experience modifier if all you needed was to add moe hit points.

AttributeModifiers = BasicLevelUpDamage1


and the modifier...

ModifierList BasicLevelUpDamage1
Category = LEVEL
Modifier = ARMOR 120%
Duration = 0
End

Alot quicker than using all the armor upgrades and than granting them per level.

[Kelso]

But can you Show/Hide objects through attribute modifiers like you can with armor upgrades?

[Hostile]

No you can't. I see your point now.
