Research Prequisite

2 questions

from Sins Forums

1. If I remove a research prequisite of a frigate so that it can be build without needing of researching it,

then will I need to remove anything else anywhere?

For example:

Prerequisites
 NumResearchPrerequisites 1
 ResearchPrerequisite
  Subject "RESEARCHSUBJECT_FRIGATEACCESS_UTILITY0PHASE"
  Level 1

Became

Prequisites 0

Please tell me if I need to remove anything else?  Because I get a game crash when I try this.

 

2.  Does any ship come out of "Capital Ship Factory" cost capital ship crew or just the word "Capital ship" cost up the "capital ship crew's point"?  can I make it cost none of the point when I create ship out of "Capital Ship Factory"?

 

Thanks in advance.

thats athe proper format to remove research prerequisites.

 

as for your second question, the cap ship entity files are unique. so it is diffrent from a frigate. that being said, that is why it uses cap ship crew. i could be wrong since its been a few weeks since i moded but i believe that it is mostly hardcoaded to take 1 cap ship point.

It's done by the entity type. CAPITALSHIP entities cost cap crews and can only be assigned to the capital factory. FRIGATEs can only be assigned to the frigate factory and don't cost crews.

I have done this in those ability file but ability just dont shows up or without researching them.

An ability that's unlocked through research should read something like this:

maxNumLevels 1
levelSourceType "ResearchWithoutBase"
improveSourceResearchSubject "RESEARCHSUBJECT_ABILITYACCESS_CHARGEDMISSILES"

and if you want to take out the research requirement it should read:

maxNumLevels 1
levelSourceType "FixedLevel0"

Note, I don't have the most up to date files at work here, but I don't think these particular lines changed in formatting?

Thanks for reply but what could you possibly tell me:

"ResearchWithoutBase"

"FixedLevel0"

 

Is there any others too?  Something like "FixedLevel1" etc...

 

 

And how to increase the range mines would go for enemy?
