Campaign Tech Tree Problems

[Freakyman]

I have downloaded Warzone 2100 TRUNK r6563 and have started the campaign all works fine but then when i get later on in the game i notice quite a lot of the technology is not available for example twin machine gun tower, hardened machine gun tower and bombard pit and many more, they dont seem to be available after researching them i dont think that they are missing i just think the research to activate said tech is just disabled or a bug is preventing such research.

if it helps at all i was playing the campaign as colour red (if that does anything, anything at all).

thanks for reading and i hope i didn't just sound like a n00b :-S

ok in short is there anyway to get the original tech tree for the campiagn???

This is intentional - newer technology replaces older technology.

For instance, from http://wzguide.co.cc/r/assaultgun :

* Gives new weapon: VTOL Assault Gun
* Gives new weapon: Assault Gun
* Makes obsolete: VTOL Machinegun
* Makes obsolete: Machinegun
* Makes obsolete: VTOL Twin Machinegun
* Makes obsolete: Twin Machinegun
* Makes obsolete: VTOL Heavy Machinegun
* Makes obsolete: Heavy Machinegun

This means that when you get Assault Gun, you'll no longer be able to use the older machineguns.

no it dont even have that tech and still i dont get the tech for example.
this is the way its spose to go
Machinegun Guard Tower.
Twin Machinegun Guard Tower.
etc
Then Machinegun Hardened Tower.
Flame Hardened Tower.
etc
but instead i dont even get the Twin Machinegun Guard tower or Machinegun Hardened Tower at all i am on Campaign 3 and im still only left with the Machinegun Guard Tower and no Machinegun Hardened Tower. and i have all research upto that point thats my problem so Zarel i thank you for the info i just guess i dint quite explain correctly sorry i tend to think ive typed it when i havent im an over thinker.

Oh, no, there's no Twin Machinegun Guard Tower or Hardened Machinegun Tower anywhere in the tech tree. You just can't get them. In fact, I think twin machinegun is one of the few weapons that there isn't a corresponding structure for.

Did you think there were because you saw the New Paradigm or Collective use them? Enemies in the campaign can use some structures that you can't.

i also thought that at first but when u play skirmish or when i played the Original non sourced Warzone im sure you have the choice to constructed it but still why aint we able to constructed the hardened machinegun tower or bombard pit if i new how i would add these in myself i like machineguns etc

Thanks Zarel for posting back

Well, the Machinegun Guard Tower has a heavy machinegun on it (look closely! It's not just a regular machinegun!). No other machinegun has a tower.

Bombard Pit is definitely available to skirmish, though. I'm pretty sure it's also in campaign - are you sure you can't find it? Maybe it's... hiding...

yeah i know the machinegun guard tower is the heavy machine gun and the bombard pit is now where to be found, my main concern is the Machinegun Hardened Tower i dont like the look of the old guard tower on Campaign 3 it looks nasty so i was just enquiring well im about to restart the campaign from scratch and if i come across the same problem ill post a copy of my save game to be view also what version do you use, i use the TRUNK r6563 (i also have 2.1.1 installed) i like FMV's lol xD
