Customizing Production Tabs

[unit332]

What needs to be done in order to customize production tabs? I found some code in "The Shogun" mod, but when I tried to implement a version it didn't seem to work.

Reference code

# The Shogun
# use the default tabs of tripleA which are: All, Land, Air, Sea, Construction, Upgrade/Consumes
# default=true
production_tabs.use_default_tabs=false

# how many tabs should there be, for each tab you need to add production_tabs.tab_name.# and production_tabs.tab_units.#
#NB: you need to create a tabs section as well for each tab or the system will crash!
# default=0
production_tabs.number_of_tabs=4

# how many rows of units to be placed on a panel, if 0 the system will calculate
# default=0
production_tabs.rows=2

# how many columns of units to be placed on a panel, if 0 the system will calculate, 
# default=0
production_tabs.columns=5


# Tab 1: All Units
production_tabs.Rebels.tab_name.1=All Units
production_tabs.Rebels.tab_units.5=Farmer:Yumi-Sohei:Sohei:na-1:Ronin:Ninja:Fort:Castle:Wako-Jong

# Tab 2: Army
production_tabs.Rebels.tab_name.2=Army
production_tabs.Rebels.tab_units.6=Farmer:Yumi-Sohei:Sohei:na-1:Ronin:Ninja

# Tab 3: Navy
production_tabs.Rebels.tab_name.3=Navy
production_tabs.Rebels.tab_units.7=Wako-Jong

# Tab 4: Fortifications
production_tabs.Rebels.tab_name.4=Fortifications
production_tabs.Rebels.tab_units.8=Fort:Castle

Below you can see I've take the base code from Production Tabs and since I need to display this for a certain player (EFGF) I've inserted them where for example Rebels are in the "The Shogun."

# The Shogun
# use the default tabs of tripleA which are: All, Land, Air, Sea, Construction, Upgrade/Consumes
# default=true
production_tabs.use_default_tabs=false

# how many tabs should there be, for each tab you need to add production_tabs.tab_name.# and production_tabs.tab_units.#
#NB: you need to create a tabs section as well for each tab or the system will crash!
# default=0
production_tabs.number_of_tabs=6

# how many rows of units to be placed on a panel, if 0 the system will calculate
# default=0
production_tabs.rows=2

# how many columns of units to be placed on a panel, if 0 the system will calculate, 
# default=0
production_tabs.columns=9

production_tabs.EFGF.tab_name.1=Ace Units
production_tabs.EFGF.tab_units.1=Gundam:Gundam Pixy:FA Gundam:Atlas Gundam:Gundam Alex:Blue Destiny U1:Blue Destiny U2:Blue Destiny U3:Gundam Ground Type

# Tab 1: All Terrain Units
production_tabs.EFGF.tab_name.2=All Terrain Units
production_tabs.EFGF.tab_units.2=Guncannon:GM:GM Light:GM Command:Guntank:Gundam:GM Sniper Custom:GM Moore

# Tab 2: Heavy
production_tabs.EFGF.tab_name.3=Heavy-Type Mobile Suits
production_tabs.EFGF.tab_units.3=Guntank:Ball:GM Sniper Custom:Gm Moore:GM Striker:Gundam:FA Gundam:Gundam Alex

# Tab 3: Support
production_tabs.EFGF.tab_name.4=Support-Type Mobile Suits
production_tabs.EFGF.tab_units.4=Guncannon:GM Light:GM Land Combat

# Tab 4: Earth-Only Units
production_tabs.EFGF.tab_name.5=Earth Marine-Only Units
production_tabs.EFGF.tab_units.5=TIN Cod:Fly Manta:Himalaya:GM Land Combat:GM Striker:Gundam Pixy:GM Ground Type:Gundam Ground Type:Aqua GC:GM Aqua:Atlas Gundam

# Tab 5: Space-Only Units
production_tabs.EFGF.tab_name.6=Space-Only Units
production_tabs.EFGF.tab_units.6=Saberfish:Ball:GM Moore:Columbus:Salamis:Magellan

@unit332
AFAIK it has bugs, my finding are;
production_tabs.properties - shared by 10 clans and works as intended
production_tabs.Rebels.properties - used only by the Rebels, it uses the units of the Rebels but displays the default tab/headings of All, Land, Air etc.

Found here;

I did not pursue it further, as was busy with coding the Shogun.

@thedog Thanks! I'll play around to see if I can't figure it out. The Gundam mod I'm working on has far too many units for the default tabs to work.

Check out pact_of_steel_2 map as it has the original help text.

@thedog Thank you! I suspect the issue is that I have spaces in the names of my units.
