[zimoo]

Are your modded files in the main directory?

[Pixel]

Your main main folder... Ea Games/The Battle For Middle Earth™ or whatever.

[Lauri]

have you removed the original INI.big?

[Phil]

And you are sure that you did make all the playertemplate changes correctly?

[ironmonkaa]

Looks like you placed the child farm object above the parent object. Just move the code from where you placed it to the bottom of the unit list.

[ironmonkaa]

nope sorry, it doesnt work

[zimoo]

You haven't got an object named HamitFarm anywhere, I think you missed a few lines.

[Bart]

the problem is that this code gets read before the farminterface (since evil comes before good in the alphabet). solution: move the farminterface (for example to data\ini\object\_interfaces\farminterface.ini)

Edited by 2playgames, 18 November 2006 - 06:56 PM.

[ironmonkaa]

well know i get this error

[Phil]

I guess that's because it should be in data/ini/object/*whatyouwant*, like all other objects. Otherwise you get this inappropriate access error.

[ironmonkaa]

the farm is in the object folder

[Lauri]

your problem is

RefundValue = 100; Half the plot cost.

Behavior = ExperienceLevelCreate CreateExperienceLevel

as you can see, the bold part is before the other, and you have to switch them... like this

Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw ModuleTag_Draw_HCBanner
OkToChangeModelColor = Yes
DefaultModelConditionState
Model = RBHCFarm
End
MultiPlayerOnly = Yes

End

that's your problem I hope

[ironmonkaa]

thanks, but i still get the first error, "the child object must come after ect"

[Lauri]

hmm, this is really wierd.... try adding them under the farminterface in godfactionbuildings, and see if that works
