design pb : boarding ships and multiple fighters

trooper · #1 March 22nd, 2003, 10:09 AM

I'm always at the same point when dealing with my two figters design. It seems that calling the ship name and not the design name in the construction_vehicles.txt file doesn't work indeed.

Anybody know how to built two different fighters, or is it an impossible mission ?

Did you do as I advised ? It certainly worked for my Proportions' Krill. Take a look, but you need to install the latest Proportions (2.5.3)
There should be no problems with calling names in construction_vehicles file, it is construction_units that still uses types only.

If i've understood everything, you've used rotating design for fighters in TDM krill AI : it means the AI builds two types of fighters, with different sizes. So it's impossible to build fighters of the same size with different components ? that's a pity.

Krills don't use design names in their AI files, at least not for fighters.

Not TDM Krill, but Proportions Krill

Take a look, they usually build about 150 "strike fighters", then switch to "fighters" and "bombers" Size does not matter

All is done by design names for fighters with different weapons !

The TDM-Krill are using Design Names for fighters; Interceptor, and Bomber.
