I want to make a map

[board 3659]

@beelee So like I am trying to make a special Maginot called "MaginotN" which is meant to be cheaper than a normal Maginot (8 instead of 11). For some reason I get a missing unit error despite renaming the original Maginot image to Maginot N

[beelee]

@board-3659 so you want to replace the original "Maginot" ? It will no longer be in the Game ?

If so, I'd just adjust the PU cost for the original one.

If you want the new name though, you have to change all "Maginot" in the xml. Probably could do a "Find and Replace" or whatever type of editor you're using.

Might be a trigger or condition that gets renamed. Shouldn't matter.

I usually just do a search for maginot and go through it individually and change it as i go through the entire xml if the above fails

Edit
You could also leave the old image in the units folder. Have both in there. But it's looking for the old one somewhere, so something probably needs changed anyway.

Might be easier to find if you get it to run though

@beelee The original maginot still exist but I also want to make a special one called majinot N which is meant to be cheaper than a normal one

@board-3659 yea so just add maignoit N wherever you see Maginot

I'd search maginot and go through the entire xml

[board 3659]

@beelee I am keeping maginot since the french one stays the same (cost 11 Pu), Maginot N is meant for the Martians and Nemo Pirates and cost less money (cost 8 Pu)

[beelee]

@board-3659 yea if you can't get it going post your xml with what you have and i'll take a look

[board 3659]

@beelee Here it is: Steampunk_Advanced_2nd_Edition.xml

: Maginot

: MaginotN

[beelee]

@board-3659 hmm ... I don't see anything wrong. The two images are the ones in the Units Folder ? Only the one version in downloadedMaps ?

Can you upload entire map to sendspace or dropbox

Edit
Theres not a colon in the name right ?

Edit 2
maginot is spelled with a small "m" in the xml Make sure Image in Unit Folder matches

[board 3659]

@beelee
"The two images are the ones in the Units Folder ?"
Yes
"maginot is spelled with a small "m" in the xml Make sure Image in Unit Folder matches:
No. The image file name is "maginot.png" and "maginotN.png" I just said Maginot for writing

@beelee https://mega.nz/folder/mRUGxCIB#GsoVfx6fK14oBFsFSVj1og Hewre is the folder with the mod

[beelee]

@board-3659 well that wouldn't dl for me so I just threw your xml into steampunk advanced. It said it's missing "dreadnaught" for Germany. Is that what you get ?

[board 3659]

@beelee well yeah but that's irrelevent since I have no dreadnought unit for germany. But does it have the Missing unit error for the maginot

[beelee]

@board-3659 all I got was the Dreadnaught for Germany but they go first so if theres others they won't show till Germany fixed. You don't get the Dreadnaught error ?

[board 3659]

@beelee yeah i do but the Maginot error also shows when that part of the map loads (Northern Canada and New Guinea)

[beelee]

@beelee yea you're showing a dreadnaught for Germany in your productionFrontier

[beelee]

let me see if I can get the maginot error to throw.

[beelee]

Ok this might take awhile. I'm getting a zip error. I tried unzipping earlier but it didn't wanna work for me.

I'll dick with it some more later. Gotta tend mom for a bit

[board 3659]

@beelee I want to give them the dreanought unit for balancing reasons. I just need the image which shouldn't be hard (Borrow from another game)

[board 3659]

@beelee ok I understand. I also got to eat anyway so . Thanks for trying to help me learn to mod (also TheDog)

[beelee]

@board-3659 ok got it to run a full round no errors. What i did was DL steampunk advanced, added your 2nd edition xml and then added maginotN.png

and a hit one, used same image for now,

maginotN_hit.png

To martians and Nemo Pirates then I added a generic dreadnaught from veqryn, you'll need to color it or find a different one. I can send ya some more units later if you want
dreadnaught.png
dreadnaught_hit.png

I think it might have changed the maginotN to a small n for some reason Idk. If you look above it has a small n next to all the numbers and stuff.

So double check the image spelling after you load them

Edit
well I guess the small n doesn't show after I post
