S.O.S. Structure question S.O.S.

Crawford · 01-23-2005, 07:02 PM

Hello people. Ive been working for a mod but I have encountered some problems in structure building could you help me out? here's what happened..
I tried to replace Russia in RAYR with my new country. All is fine until I came to structure building. for example I have added a new building for my new country. what happens is that some of the previous available buildings for my country is lost / unable to be built because gone in the sidebar menu. Strange since I never forget to place their names in the [BuildingTypes] section in rulesmd..

here are some of my structure codes

by the way.. the only structure here which is unavailable is the [XAREFN] (refinery) & [NASWEAP] (warfactory) first.. the only unavailable building here is the [NABAR] (new country barracks) but when I decided to add a new structure [DDEFD] (core defender from tsfs) the barracks which was unavailable became available while the refinery & the warfactory which were available were unavailable to be built.

Ive already given them a simple Prerequisite but still they are not available..

Well at a quick glance all that immediately springs to mind is that you are using a generic prerequisite group "POWER".
What buildings do you have in PrerequisitePower= ?
Perhaps your problem lies there.

Crawford · 01-24-2005, 03:15 AM

I tried to change all of the buildings prerequisite into
Prerequisite=DACNST
in which the DACNST is the construction yard of my new country but still some of the structures dont appear in the sidebar menu

Marshall7a · 01-24-2005, 05:14 AM

Very bizarre, I'm afraid I have no idea. You could try running DCoder's ini checker program, (just make sure you make a backup of your ini files first as his program deletes all the comments).
