DesignType mod question
 

Heya.
I am trying to mod in extra design types for a race. I've added three attack ships to the designCreation.txt (Attack ships-heavy -medium and -light).

I've added them to the Construction_Vehicles.txt file as well so as they will be built.

And I have added the new types to the defaultDesignTypes.

However when firing up a game, i still get error Messages saying it cannot find the three types, and another error from the Construction_Vehicles.txt in not recognizing the new types to build.

Any help, please? Am I missing something, or can this be done. Everything seems to be spelled right. At a loss.

Many thanks

This concerns the older Version BTW.

I think the AIs only recognize the original design types...

In Gold, your build queues can reference the new designs by name, rather than designtype. Otherwise, you'll have to use one of the other types, such as Kamikaze, to make different types of attack ships.
