questions thread

[Mr War]

I have so many quick questions re modding GAE that it seems wasteful to keep opening new threads.

Cloaking
I am trying to make my submarine unit cloaked. I added :
                         

<cloak type="permanent">
         <de-cloak skill-class="attack" />
      </cloak>

To the XML, based on the Daemon demo. It doesn't seem to do anything though. The unit isn't cloaked.

AI not building barracks
I have a garrison building in my faction which is essentially a 1:1 swap-out of the Tech barracks. But the AI player never builds it. Any ideas?

Which version are you using?

Cloaking: There's another example with the archer in Shibboleth tech.

Last time I tried cloaking  for a video in 0.3.2, it didn't seem to work...so try compiling Git-Master or use the snapshot.

[Mr War]

I'm using GAE 0.3.2. I can't see any diff in XML for my unit and the archer in Shibboleth tech.

[hailstone]

None of the newer features are in 0.3.2. Get the snapshot.

I've had no problems with cloaking in military. You don't actually see anything by the way. Your key hint should be that enemies aren't attacking you unless you get decloaked (by using your attack command in that example) or a decloaking unit is nearby.

[Mr War]

I thought 0.3.2 was the latest stable version?

[Psychedelic_hands]

It is.... So none of the new features are in there. 

[ultifd]

Once people start testing and when they report problems to the developers, then GAE 0.4 will soon be the stable version. The question for whoever is willing to help, is to test what...  I guess it's time to look at the trac again...

[Mr War]

Can anyone point me to XML examples of transports, particularly boats?

Any ideas re the AI not building the garrison prob?

[John.d.h]

The Military mod has a transport ship.

thanks man

Now I'm getting a new error. Any suggestions where to start looking to fix it?


uptdatem: seems solved by reducing size of one of the sound effect files

[Mr War]

The AI not building buildings is a huge deal, any suggestion in how to correct that please?
