Change max. number of buildings in skirmich

[Rusya]

Hi everyone!

I'm a new here, so please dont ban me if my question is in wrong forum part.

The question is - how can I change maximum number of buildings, which are in skirmich mode? For example - I can build maximum 10 Power Generators, and only 5 Research Centers. Is it possible to make those amounts 15 and 10, or maybe even more?

My mod education is pure bad, so I hope that change will not demands re-compiling... Please answer somebody, or just say that it is no possible. Thank you.

PS. Sorry for my stupid English - I live in Russia, and have not practice for a long time ))

This is more for Showcase or Mapping/Modding forum, but you posted here so...

There are mods that higher those limits.
If you use one of those, build as many Reasearch Facilities and Power Generators, but build only 5 factories of each type (Normal, Cyborg, VTOL) 3*5=15.
If you do not touch that menu, you will have unlimited Power Generators, Oil Derricks, Repair Facilities, Command Relay Centers and VTOL Rearm Pads.

emmmmmm..... I don't get it

I just downloaded Warzone 2100 from this site, my version is 2.2.4.0. While installiation I chose "video" and "mods" in install menu, after that video donloaded, something about 500 megabytes. Now there is folder "mods" in my WZ 2100 folder, right here: "F:\Games\Warzone 2100\mods\multiplay", and in that folder there are 3 files, aivolution.wz, ntw.wz and original.wz. I do not know, are those mods works or not, but I think yes, because in multiplayer I have some new units and weapons.

As I understand from your answer, all I have to do to get unlimited Research Facilities in skirmich is do not use mods, right? I'll try to replace them from F:\Games\Warzone 2100\mods\multiplay, and see what will happen then....

No, it does not work... I replaced those files from game folder to desktop, but nothing changes, I still can build only 5 Research Centers and 10 Power Generators...

What have I missed?

You need to find mod that enables that. There is no mod like that included with game.

If you do not touch that menu, you will have unlimited Power Generators, Oil Derricks, Repair Facilities, Command Relay Centers and VTOL Rearm Pads.

If you don't go to that menu at what you select limits, some structures will be unlimited, just DO NOT go to that menu.
For unlimited Reasearch Facilities and Factories, you need to find mod that enables that.

lol, no, it was originally in Showcase. I moved it here. It's asking "Where can I find a mod that does this?" or "How can I do this?" so it belongs here in Help. The secondary question is "How can I make a mod that does this?" so it could also work in Mapping/Modding, but it's not asking "Hey, guys, look at my mod that does this!" so it obviously doesn't belong in Showcase.

Thanks a lot, guys!

I have downloaded mod manager 3.0 and with this perfect tool I could make mods work. Then I tried to change something in numbers of buildings (finally found file which contain such data) - got crash, but it is my first time modding WarZone 2100

I get mod which allows 10 researchers, it's enough for now, I think.

Thank you very much for wonderful game, for reminding feelings from times when I was young and played it on PlayStation... You made great, really!

PS. Where can I learn a little about modding WarZone? For example - what program need to edit .vlo and .slo files (i tried standart WordPad, opened and edited, but get crash), and so?

try this one

it makes a little more changes than just limits, but might do the trick.
