Editing the leveling of the Empire

[Three60]

I've looked at the stuff for leveling up for the Imps, and I know how to make it so they don't need the Research Facility to do anything. But I can't get the leveling to come up in the space tab. Anyone know how to do that?

The dummy objects that the Empire builds for tech upgrades are found in TechBuilding.XML. All of those objects have a prerequisite of the research facility, so if you removed it, you won't be able to tech up. You need to go into each of the tech building objects and remove the prereq, and it should work.

Well, it works fine in normal game, but my mod gets rid of land battles. I'm trying to set it so the research appears in the space tab, but when I put in what tab to be in, it didn't affect it.

[Darth_Torpid-PG]

Ah.

 

Well in that case you'll also need to replace this line in TechBuilding.XML for each tech level object:

 

<Required_Ground_Base_Level>1</Required_Ground_Base_Level>

 

with this line:

 

<Required_Star_Base_Level>1</Required_Star_Base_Level>

 

This will remove the land requirement. You will also still need to remove the prereq for the research facility as stated in the previous comment.

Okay, thanks. I'll try it when I get home.

Okay, I tested it, but I still couldn't get it to appear in the same tab as the space stations.
