Facility level?

[Shadowstar]

I've created some new facilities along with a new tech area to contain them, but they start out at max level even if there's just one level researched in thier tech field. I can't seem to find anywhere in the facilities.txt or techareas.txt files that deal with facility level. Am I missing something?

[%Level%] is probably what you're missing. Without some part of the formula that sets that value, it'll always be maxed out.

I have to agree with PD without seeing the file. I just can't think of another source for your problem. You should have something like this in the requirements line:

Get_Empire_Tech_Level ("Your Tech") >= (1 + ([%Level%] - 1))

Your Tech is the tech area it's tied into. If that doesn't help attach your file here and one of us modders will look it over and leave a note explaining what is wrong.

Aha, I think I found it. What I did was copy the space yard and made my own version of it, but i think my word wrap ended up cutting off part of the formula... Doh!

I suppose I should probably be using Devnull's editor, but I'm too used to working in Notepad from back in the SE4 days.

I use NotePad also, force of habit from SE4 days I guess. What I do is turn the word wrap off.

The editor is neat, but it's rather buggy and it doesn't look like there's coming any updates for it anytime soon.

There is no reason to use notepad when there are plenty of free text editors out there with nifty features like regular expression matching for find/replace...

I'm currently using Crimson Editor...
