dskzz Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Hi all, you may remember a few years back I did an AWACs mod which let you put in an AWAC recon flier at the game start. I playtested it and I loved it, thought it added a whole new level of strategy to the game. Well, I'd love to update it to the CE version and be able to upload it to Steam. The problem is I just can't get the damn thing to work. I wonder if anyone could help? I also can't seem to get the modding log to show up, I can get the thing to show up in the Xenopedia. I can get the Condor purchase box to move, so it registers something there, but just no. It's not working. AWACFuel3.zip Quote
Charon Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 More info is necessary. I dont even know what doesnt work. Quote
drages Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 If you made it as a plane you can buy, it won't work. You need to have it manufactured. Quote
dskzz Posted January 1, 2017 Author Posted January 1, 2017 Hi yes, sorry I want to be able to buy the plane at startup. That doesn't seem to work, although it did work back when I first built the mod a few years ago. Any way to make that happen? Thanks Quote

But i could be wrong. For now, you can only buy f-17. It's hardcoded or that code is not working. Just make it a very cheap uber fast manufacture. Quote
dskzz Posted January 1, 2017 Author Posted January 1, 2017 Can I make a manufacture that starts without research? I added the ManTech.AWACs to manufactures.xml and I added the ManTech.AWACs string to Strings, it's not showing up. I have the UnlockKnowledge and I can see the AWACs in the infopedia. Log says Missing string for label 'WorkshopView.Produces' Quote
dskzz Posted January 1, 2017 Author Posted January 1, 2017 By the way I'm using the Saracen Reborn for my model. Quote
drages Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 You can connect your manufacture to an early research. I think the first research is invasion, so just add your manufacture to it.. Quote
dskzz Posted January 1, 2017 Author Posted January 1, 2017 Ahh I just had to stick UnlockManufacture( "ManTech.Saracen" ); in my _BaseBuilt.lua thanks for your help, it works now and I'm gonna push it right on up to Steam! Quote
