Adding technology

[Guest]

Hello modders,

In the folder INI there are 2 files regarding technologies. I like to add some new technology by copying an existing line and change the discription etc but the game doesnt accept it.
So I tested it again by changing the values of existing lines like cost and duration but the effects remain the same when starting a new scenario. Am I missing something or are those all hard encoded?

No one?

So its not possible to create ur own units or start tweaking existing one in this game?

@Baloogan:
thanx for reply. I have already browsed the wiki site. There was an interesting utility called SR2010EDIT, but there was no link where i can download it.

But are the csv files in the INI folder nothing more than reference or need i to do something extra besides adding/changing values?

You can add/edit units through spreadsheets HOWEVER by altering these you void multiplayer aspect unless you create backups of your original unit files and put them back each time you play multi..

I copied the original files in another folder, so there shouldn't any problems when i start a multiplayer game.

But has anyone tried editing the csv file like the techtree and see the changes taking place? I first tried to add a new technology which increases the buildingrates of buildings. But the game doesnt't take the new values whether its a saved game or a new scenario. Having copied a technology nuclear fission and changed the pre requirement, costs etc I expected the game would accept it.......
Is the scenario tied on specified technology or what I assumed technology level?
