[HELP!] Modding new research tree

March 18, 2008 8:02:00 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

NOTE: Before you read this, I am Modding in Version 1.02

I am almost ready to mod a new race in SOASE but, When I edit a research tree I lose the grey arrows. Can some one help me with this? I need to know how to make the grey arrows or can someone tell me where the code is to make them?

"Make" them? I was under the impression that as long as your research had a prerequisite then they would be connected automatically. If you want to make more, or change existing ones, it is a very long process, and one that ideally you have to work mostly out yourself. I can write a very rough guide, and it will be rough (ie. no files names, just folders and what to look for).

that is what I thought but, it did not work that way. If that is how it works then I will try to start over. If there is another way please reply.

when you open the RESEARCHSUBJECT_XXX name you will see the following..

no research is needed to start with the project


Prerequisites
NumResearchPrerequisites 1
ResearchPrerequisite
Subject "RESEARCHSUBJECT_XXX" the file thats needs to be requested before starting the reasearch
Level 2 <-- level of research
this option is for a single line..
make sure it's a clean line other it can be become a mess in the research tree

Well, there are a limited number of automatic connectors. If, for example, you're trying to connect a tier 1 research to a tier 8, there's no arrow long enough for the game to plug in.

It is possible (though I doubt it) that this changed in 1.03, but as I've done research tree experimenting in 1.02 I can definitely attest to it automatically connecting dependencies.

Out of curiosity, where were the relative positions of the two topics you needed linked?
