Make new technology replace old technology |
Is there a way to make new tecnology replace old technology so that the old stuff doesn't appear any more, for instance higher level engines replacing Ion engines.
Maybe an achieving this level "gets_rid_of: ion engines" statement?
Ion engines are also cheaper
Its set up the way it is because ion engines are usefull for the efficiency boost (they tend to use less supplies).
They are also cheaper. I continue to equip my colony ships with original Ion Engines in as low a version as I can get for cost savings. Why bother using expensive, high-tech equipment on a disposable scow anyway?
Re: Make new technology replace old technology
Just go like this
get_empire_tech...."example" Evilhamburger's EvilMod!
Over 100 new components!
Over 500 new tech levels!
Over 50 new hulls!
Be one of the beta testers now!
Official release Jan 20

Re: Make new technology replace old technology
I think you can add a requirement field like this:
Ion Engine:
Number Of Requirements := 2
Requirements Evaluation Availability := AND
Requirements Evaluation Allows Placement := TRUE
Requirements Evaluation Allows Usage := TRUE
Requirement 1 Description := Empire must have at least tech level 1 in Ion Engines.
Requirement 1 Formula := Get_Empire_Tech_Level("Ion Engines") >= (1 + ([%Level%] - 1))
Requirement 2 Description := If you have Contra - Terre Engine, your Ion Engine became obsolete.
Requirement 2 Formula := Get_Empire_Tech_Level("Contra - Terrene Engines") = 0
Change the name of tech in "Get_Empire_Tech_Level" with the name of the next Engine Tech. With this modification when you discover more advanced engine tech, you older engine are no longer displayed.
PS: I don't have tested this, but it should work without problem.

done with engines, cleaned up loads of space in filter list, thanks

Here you go, coppy if you want it (just quote me as author, please, though not mandatory)
Re: Make new technology replace old technology
Imho you should use code rather than quote.
Re: Make new technology replace old technology
sorry i am new to this
Ion Engines
You might be able to force something by adding a requirement for"higher tech level item" less than or equal to zero, but I doubt it.
Its set up the way it is because ion engines are usefull for the efficiency boost (they tend to use less supplies).
