Hi!

I have a strange problem when adding new buildings to RA2. I added some research labs for the allies, which made no problem. I set BuildLimit to 1. Works perfect! But whe adding buildings for the sowjets, problems occur. I added a war hospital and made the tech air port buildable. I created own entrys in rules.ini and art.ini (i think i named them [NAHOSP] and [NAAIRP]). If i build a tech air port, i am able to build another one, although the BuildLimit is 1. The same with the war hospital, but theres another problem. After i placed it on the map, another war hospital gets build, but the construction process is stopped at the beginning. I must left click on it and double right-click. What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Benjamin

Add a valid BuildCat= statement, like BuildCat=Tech or BuildCat=Infrastructure.

Thanks for the quick answer. I added the line you suggested and it solves the problem with the "automatically starting new (stopped) construction". But the BuildLimit still doesn't work. Do you have another suggestion?

Can we see the code of those buildings you added?

Here is it:

Rules.ini:

[NAAIRP]
UIName=Name:NAAIRP
Name=Sowjet-Airport
Prerequisite=NACNST,NAHAND,RADAR
Strength=800
Armor=concrete
BuildCat=Tech
TechLevel=1

RadarInvisible=no
Insignificant=yes
Nominal=yes

Power=-30
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUM U60
MaxDebris=15
MinDebris=5
DebrisAnim=Dbris1sm,Dbris1lg,Dbris4sm,Dbris5sm,Dbr is4lg,Dbris7sm,Dbris8sm,Dbris5lg,Dbris4lg

SuperWeapon=ParaDropSpecial

AIBasePlanningSide=1
DamageSmokeOffset=200,325,200

Art.ini:

[NAAIRP]
Remapable=yes
Cameo=FLUGFELDICO

FreeBuildup=true ;What does that mean?
Foundation=3x3
Height=6
Buildup=CAAIRPMK
NewTheater=yes
DemandLoad=true
ActiveAnim=CAAIRP_A
ActiveAnimZAdjust=5
ActiveAnimDamaged=CAAIRP_AD
;ActiveAnimTwo=CAAIRP_F (no flag)
;ActiveAnimTwoZAdjust=-100
;ActiveAnimTwoYSort=362
;ActiveAnimTwoPowered=no
DamageFireOffset0=-3,5
DamageFireOffset1=-65,32
CanHideThings=True
CanBeHidden=False


I added the building to the building list, and added the required naairp.shp and flugfeldico.shp to ecache01.mix. Everything works fine, except the build limit.

AIBuildThis is listed twice. Shouldn't be the cause, but not good anyway.
You should take out Insignificant, this might cause it...would be typical for Westwood's style of coding.

Und FLUGFELDICO ist nicht unbedingt Standard-Länge

[GMBigB]

That's it. Danke

[DCoder]

So Insignificant=yes nullifies BuildLimit= ? Interesting, didn't know that.

[Renegade]

Didn't know it either, but considering Westwood's wacky style of coding, it was logical. Insignificant disables the counting of the unit at all, (as it is insignificant...who cares for it?) so why would the BuildLimit react?
