Need help with convering mod to Aod.

[Lyrecryer]

Right there seem to be a problem that my game seems to be puking up, It keeps saying "unknowntype" on me. I will try to post a picture if I can,

I'm trying to get this Mod working on Aod. more so I can play it with 10 techs rather than 6.

here is the problem item:

################################
# Fallout's Doomsday Mod
# Propellor Fighters
#
# Model 12
# Type FIG
################################

# Scrap Fighters - 0
model = {
cost = 20
buildtime = 180
defaultorganisation = 20
morale = 20
manpower = 0.5
maxspeed = 450
surfacedetectioncapability = 4
airdetectioncapability = 3
surfacedefence = 4
airdefence = 4
airattack = 8
strategicattack = 0
softattack = 2
hardattack = 1
navalattack = 0
range = 700
supplyconsumption = 4.5
fuelconsumption = 4.5
upgrade_time_factor = 1.0
upgrade_cost_factor = 1.0
}

Is it fixable or not?

Would indicate problem in the tech files\models.csv itself rather than the unit itself, as surface detection is used in many other air units without any problems.

ah right. thanks. where is the models.csv?

 

[Mjarr]

models.csv is located in the config folder, while tech data are stored in db\tech\

wow. I have no idea what goes where, i better look at the wiki to get some idea from it.

right this is what the error message says:

--- ERROR : (Unkown Type inLandDivision) 'surfacedetectioncapability = 4' Line = 18 =db\units\divsions\multi_role.txt ---

 

[Mjarr]

Try removing surfacedetection altogether and see if it brings up any new errors.

You are missing the definition that this is actually a air unit, so the game per default selects land. (we have romoved some of the hardcoded stuff, so its possible to make your own brigdes and remodel current units)
Check the AOD unit files to see the syntax ( some of the first lines on top)

I have to say that I am impressed by the fact that the developers take the time to answer mod-related questions.

AoD is truly a game "by gamers, for gamers".

It's amusing how some simple, obvious problems are probably the most eluding ones

right i got through to the menu but now whenever I load a senario, the game seems to freeze! It's starting to get annoying now..
