Autocomplete and AI

i need also to edit the file wich do the autocomplete stuff for the players

good, just a question then, do i need to compile it in any particular way and where do i put it?

yeah i understood it, but if the design AI shall be aviable for autocomplete then what do i need to do? or is it taken from the empire files?

thanks, now i got all the info i need thanks again pal, assuming you got nothing against bieng it XD

sorry for the doubble post but i have a problem. Ive added so the ships need a reactor in the ships, a entirely new kind of components, but the autocomplete, and AI aswell then i assume, wont add it to the ship.

"Engine":
set comp_id := Sys_Get_Component_With_Name(sys_long_Player_ID, "Anti-Matter Engine")
if (Sys_Is_Component_Available(sys_long_Player_ID, comp_id)) then
set final_comp_id := comp_id
endif
if (final_comp_id = 0) then
set comp_id := Sys_Get_Component_With_Name(sys_long_Player_ID, "Nuclear Fusion Engine")
if (Sys_Is_Component_Available(sys_long_Player_ID, comp_id)) then
set final_comp_id := comp_id
endif
endif
if (final_comp_id = 0) then
set comp_id := Sys_Get_Component_With_Name(sys_long_Player_ID, "Nuclear Fission Engine")
if (Sys_Is_Component_Available(sys_long_Player_ID, comp_id)) then
set final_comp_id := comp_id
endif
endif
if (final_comp_id = 0) then
set comp_id := Sys_Get_Component_With_Name(sys_long_Player_ID, "Chemical Engine")
if (Sys_Is_Component_Available(sys_long_Player_ID, comp_id)) then
set final_comp_id := comp_id
endif
endif

"Reactor":
set comp_id := Sys_Get_Component_With_Name(sys_long_Player_ID, "Anti-Matter Reactor")
if (Sys_Is_Component_Available(sys_long_Player_ID, comp_id)) then
set final_comp_id := comp_id
endif
if (final_comp_id = 0) then
set comp_id := Sys_Get_Component_With_Name(sys_long_Player_ID, "Nuclear Fusion Reactor")
if (Sys_Is_Component_Available(sys_long_Player_ID, comp_id)) then
set final_comp_id := comp_id
endif
endif
if (final_comp_id = 0) then
set comp_id := Sys_Get_Component_With_Name(sys_long_Player_ID, "Nuclear Fission Reactor")
if (Sys_Is_Component_Available(sys_long_Player_ID, comp_id)) then
set final_comp_id := comp_id
endif
endif
if (final_comp_id = 0) then
set comp_id := Sys_Get_Component_With_Name(sys_long_Player_ID, "Chemical Reactor")
if (Sys_Is_Component_Available(sys_long_Player_ID, comp_id)) then
set final_comp_id := comp_id
endif
endif

the engine part works like a charm but not the reactor, its only a test i did but what do i need to do to get the reactor added? 1 per ship that is aswell.

no the names are a perfect match, nothing wrong with that, i copied them directly from component.txt

so then what needs to be done to add this reactor to the ships?

sorry for double post but

exacly where does the designing fix adding solar sail and such?

aahhh then that might do the trick

DP again sorry
i added
call lst_Extra_Comps_Name.add("Chemical Reactor")
call lst_Extra_Comps_Only_For_Design_Type.add("")
call lst_Extra_Comps_Pct_Of_Space.add(-1)
call lst_Extra_Comps_Tech_Area.add("Chemical Reactor")
call lst_Extra_Comps_Tech_Level.add(1)
to the global constants but it didnt work either, how the hell do i make the computer add this to the ship?

oh sorry i ment the settings one, still dont work thou

hmm ok
it did work but what about as the AI increase its tech levels?

never mind i fixed it
starting to get how the AI works a bit
