Why can't I build this?! And WTF does the enemy has my MCV?!

Rats! More probs Sad

For some reason I can't build the Battle Lab which is owned by my new custom country Confused

Code as follows:

Code:

[IATECH]
UIName=Name:IATECH
Name=Soviet Battle Lab
BuildCat=Tech
Prerequisite=IAWEAP,IARADR,IACNST
Strength=500
Image=NATECH
Armor=wood
TechLevel=7
Adjacent=2
Sight=6
Owner=British,French,Germans,Americans,Alliance,Russians,Illuminati,Africans,Arabs,YuriCountry
AIBasePlanningSide=1 ;gs 0 for Good, 1 for Evil
Cost=2000
Points=85
Power=0
Capturable=true
Crewed=yes
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
DebrisAnims=DBRIS2SM,DBRIS3LG,DBRIS3SM,DBRIS7SM,DBRIS8LG,DBRS10LG
MaxDebris=10
MinDebris=5
ThreatPosed=0 ; This value MUST be 0 for all building addons
;DamageParticleSystems=SparkSys,SmallGreySSys,BigGreySmokeSys
DamageSmokeOffset=200, 325, 200
AIBuildThis=yes
TogglePower=no
Spyable=yes
ProtectWithWall=yes
ImmuneToPsionics=no ; defaults to yes for buildings, no for others
SuperWeapon=ForceShieldSpecial

Take note that the code has TechLevel=7 and Prerequisite=IAWEAP,IARADR,IACNST (these structures exists!) tags in it. It SHOULD be available when all of the prerequisite structures have been built but it doesn't appear in the sidebar (WTF?!?!) Sad

Also, its already included in the [BuildingTypes] list so it SHOULD be available, but NOOOOO, it wasn't! #Mad

Any help?

Also, how do I prevent other Soviet countries starting off with my new country's MCV? (My new country has it's own MCV but other Soviets (my new country was once Cuba) also has it as a starting unit, along side their own MCV Confused

)

Did you modify the Force Shield at all any?

Have you listed IATECH under PrerequisiteTech (might be wrong spelling), if so use the search function to find GATECH

Just a note, if you're creating new buildings with an old one that exists (like a new Battle Lab), always search for the old ones name so you can find where that's been put, and put your own Battle Lab there too (except on some Prerequisites of units of course)...Sorry if this sounds confusing.

I use CTRL+H and replace with something like (YATECH,NEWTECH) and i keep going down until i decide i dont want it to be there (like units).

Great! I can build the battle lab now Smile

But now my only problem is that enemy soviets also have my new faction's MCV at the start of the game Confused

Here is it's code:

Code:

[IMCV]
UIName=Name:IMCV
Name=Illuminati Construction Vehicle
Prerequisite=IAWEAP,IADEPT
Strength=1000
Category=Support
Armor=heavy
DeploysInto=IACNST
TechLevel=10
Sight=6
Speed=4
Owner=Illuminati
CrateGoodie=yes
Cost=3000
Soylent=3000
Points=60
ROT=5
Crewed=yes
Crusher=yes
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
VoiceSelect=MCVSovietSelect
VoiceMove=MCVSovietMove
VoiceAttack=MCVSovietMove
VoiceFeedback=
DieSound=GenVehicleDie
MoveSound=MCVMoveStart
CrushSound=TankCrush
DeploySound=PlaceBuilding
MaxDebris=6
Locomotor={4A582741-9839-11d1-B709-00A024DDAFD1}
Weight=3.5
MovementZone=Normal
ThreatPosed=0 ; This value MUST be 0 for all building addons
DamageParticleSystems=SparkSys,SmallGreySSys
SpecialThreatValue=1
ZFudgeColumn=12
ZFudgeTunnel=15
Size=6
Trainable=no
Bunkerable=no; Units default to yes, others default to no
OmniCrushResistant=yes; so Crusher can crush Crushable, OmniCrusher trumps Crushable=no, and then OmniCrushResistant trumps OmniCrusher

What should I do so that enemy soviets don't start with it? (they still build a base with their own MCV btw...)

Have you tried to put AllowedToStartInMultiplayer=no tag in your MCV?

NO! That is ridiculous. If you have looked at the original MCVs, you see no such tag, plus it is common sense to let an MCV start in multiplayer.
