[Solved] Problem with BUNKERS using Stats Editor

[REZ]

Hello,

using the Stats Editor I did crate some new Hardpoints and emplacements that did work fine.
Proceeding the same way, I wanted to create new kind of BUNKERS, that did not work.
(copying the orginal bunkers and modify them)

Do I have to modify special additional files for BUNKERS?
Same problem occured when I did modify an copied Research Facility, even if I tured it into a WALL OR DOOR?

Which files will I have to modify to fix this maually?
Does anyone know help?

Have a nice day,

R.E.Z.

I've modified bunkers before with success. If you have problems, post your files here.

Bunkers should work same way as hardpoints and towers.
Note: Machinegun bunker have special invisible weapon.
Can you say, what exactly does not work? game not start or you just cannot see new bunkers in build menu?
Attach your files.

As for Research Facility, You have to attach special "research function" to your research facility.
Each new structure also should be added to results list of some research.

In warzone you can use cheat code "give all" to see all structures in build menu.

Hello,

@ crab_

thank You

Okay, here is what I did using the stats editor:

I did copy the Machinegun Bunker (PillBox1). So I got a new BUNKER and named it X1 Bunker. Its code is PillBox1_copy1.
Afterwards I did create a Reserch for this: copy of the Machinegun Bunker (R-Defense-Pillbox01) and name it X1 Bunker (PillBox1_copy1).

Finally I made the following settings:
prresearch.txt

Code: Select all

R-Defense-Pillbox01_copy1,R-Sys-Engineering01,810

researchstruct.txt

Code: Select all

R-Defense-Pillbox01_copy1,A0CommandCentre,0

resultstructure.txt

Code: Select all

R-Defense-Pillbox01_copy1,PillBox1_copy1,0,810

When I do run the test07-MOD, I got a crash and the following log-file (my name is erased):

Code: Select all

Perhaps someone might have an idea for me? Or a hint?

Have a nice week.

@REZ in your log i i see "Invalid function for structure PillBox1_copy1"

You copied bunker with non-zero "functions count" field. See header of structures.txt
Structure key,Type,Unused,Strength,Unused,Base Width,Base Breadth,Unused,Build points,Height,Armour,Body points,Unused,Build power,Unused,Resistance,Unused,Unused,ECM key,Sensor key,Weapon Slots,Structure model,Base model,Functions,Weapons

I think stat editor do not copy functions of structures.

I think game tried to load function for your "PillBox1_copy1" but unsuccessfull because there is no function in 'structurefunctions.txt'

I've modified line in sctuctures.txt and now it works.

Code: Select all

PillBox1_copy1,DEFENSE,Level All,BUNKER,0,1,1,Concrete,400,1,20,700,10,100,10,150,255,1,ZNULLECM,DefaultSensor1Mk1,1,blpilbox.pie,0,0,1

Hello,

@ crab_ cool thank You.

Now it works.
For the case it might help someone else, I upload the complete test07 MOD with a new BUNKER X1.

Have a nice week,
Thank You,
