Component.txt Knowledge Base

[President_Elect_Shang]

Generational components do not work at all! I set this up:

Number Of Requirements := 1
Requirements Evaluation Availability := AND
Requirements Evaluation Allows Placement := TRUE
Requirements Evaluation Allows Usage := TRUE
Requirement 1 Description := Empire must have achieved C&C Tech level 1.
Requirement 1 Formula := (Get_Empire_Tech_Level("C&C") <= 1)

So if C&C is above tech level 1 this component should not appear in the component list. It is listed. I can’t speak for any other mods but if this doesn’t get fixed my hopes of finally creating this mod are done. I am feeling very depressed about all of this right about now!

Edited in: The components will phase out as they are supposed to; however, the only way I managed to get them to work correctly was to save the game then reload it. In other words by forcing SE5 to read the Components.txt file again. That explains why all of this stuff was working for me before. During my testing I would save, quite, modify, then load the save game over and over.
