Tech Tree Editor

Parameter Problems

from GalCiv2 Forums

I could use some help with getting the tech tree editor to work for me.  I am wanting to add a tech that would give a additional bonus to Soldiering.  I want it to be a branch off of Planetary Invasion.  I believe that I have most of it worked out.  But when I go to save the change.  I get the Parameter Incorrect message.  I am wondering if I am using the wrong Internal name.  I am wanting this to be on the Minor Tech tree in ToA.  I have tried to follow what i can see in the Tech trees in the game.  But am at a loss as to what Parameter is wrong.

This is how I have it set up:

Internal Name:  Weapons

Display Name:  Battle Suits

Required Tech:  Planetary Invasion

Required Alignment:  None

Group Name:  None

Model:  Nanometal 0

Branch Name:  Weapons

Category:  Invasion

Civ Ability Bonunes:  Soldiering +20

Trading:  yes and at 30

Creative Ability:  yes

Stealing:  yes

I also have the short and long descriptions.

Research cost:  900

AI value:  12

 

I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

I added all the same values and it saved fine, so I'm not sure what could be going wrong here.

Well I hope someone else might have an idea.  I still can not get the editor to work.  It just keeps telling me that the Parameters are not correct.  No fun to have this and can not get it to work.  Why wasn't there some form of instruction included with it?  Be it on paper or on disk.

How about changing the internal name to "BattleSuits" ?

My guess is, weapons is one of some reserved (key)words for the editor, which cannot be used as internal name. Try to avoid internalnames like defense, biology, weapons etc...

Best practice is, to set internal & displayname to be the same, You always can alter displayname later though. |-)

Tried that and I still get the Parameter Incorrect message.  Can not figure out what it going on.

Alright, I have the Battle Suits and the Battle Mechs in the tech tree for Minor Races file.  But they do not show up on the Tech Tree itself in the game.  What else is there that I am missing?  Or do they just not show up untill the required tech for them is done?
