Warfactory coding help
Hi, I am trying to have two different warfactory per faction. One is purely for vechicles and another purely for mechs.
Unfortunately despite the experiments I had tried, if I am playing a skirmish game, from the player perspective, the system and coding works rather well, however the A.I players just keep producing everything from one warfactory, vechicle or mechs alike dispite it is able to build two differnet mechfactory at the same time.It cannot distinguish the two different factory types.
Is there something I missed? How can it be done without using Ares. QUICK_EDIT

Thanks for the usual great input guys, I would like to throw in a few ideas.
The naval yards produce vehicles. Yet it can produce vehicles only that was assign to it. Ships and etc.
Although naval yards have special coding like naval=yes, it is still a warfactory. It should produce both units of land and seas.
Although there were "separate coding" references like
PrerequisiteFactory=XXXX
BuildWeapons=
which for naval yards it is distinguish by.
BuildNavalYard=
The Naval yards itself is a vehicle factory, in a sense.
How was that distinction done? I was hoping in my guts that that it wasn't the "separate coding" which just allowed that
possibility to happen, it could have been something else.
Perhaps this can be done, like using TechLevel= as a switch, let say techlevel= <5>5 the production switch to another.
Can this be done? If it can, how?
I know you guys love Ares, but again for me, until it is stable enough I prefer to stick to the old fashion stuff.
Can anyone point me to a link of what Ares can do? I have been trying to find that webpage but I have bad luck so far. QUICK_EDIT
This can actually be done without Ares. Find the Kennel hack. That's the method you need to use in order to do it. _________________ KGR | AT

Not at all. FurryQuen is better AFAIK.

Just as I afraid, there is not enough extras in Ares for me to justify its usage over the bug it has, maybe a later stage when the program reaches it maturition.
I had gone through the hack, so I need the warfactory to be deploy and also it has to be on a different side for it to work.
I would probably do it at a later stage, it is too much testing and prototyping to make it work. QUICK_EDIT

When he says the bug it has Graion, I think he is referring to the fact that 0.2 has not yet come out yet, and the test builds, "which he might think are the only ares dll expansion worth using or available; as he doesn't know of or like the perfectly stable ares 0.1 p1".
As for those Bugs, I consider the test builds leading up to Ares 0.2 pretty stable, but yes there still test versions and I would never ever recommend using a test version other then to test, no matter how stable they are. As graion will probably post after this, test builds can have faults built in and fixing 1 issue can cause another bug to form in something previously working; in other-words until all bugs are hammered out, ares 0.2 will not be released because the ares team actually has the decency to want to release something stable and working correctly.
And Wcho if you really want to complain about Ares 0.2 not being released yet"Which I don't think your doing, but it might sound like it", experiment with a test build and try it. Maybe you can find some bugs and report them to help the ares team stamp out the small or potentially big bugs still remaining to be fixed for ares 0.2. Saying some small bugs are preventing you from using a perfectly good DLL Expansion seems like bs to me. And I apologize if I sound like I'm being mean but really all this information is already free and available about Ares. So please help the people here and people on ares team by properly pointing out which bugs in Ares your having issues with.

You pretty well summed out the above, and honestly, I really agree with your words, but I doubt that is the "bug" he means.
Ares fixed a YR behaviour, and as a side-effect the Kennel Hack in 0.1 and while v02 has BuiltAt already, it's undocumented... (I haven't got there yet to document D's merged-in factory branch...) and the fixed Kennel Hack could be something he consider as bug. That's why I asked for a confirmation, this was the sole stuff, which had a flaw in design in Ares AFAIK. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

Hey please accept my most sincere appologies. I don't mean to offend any one. I realised there is a lot of hard work put into Ares, I mean there are some very attractive options and because I am a coder myself, I know how hard it is to finish off a program. So you have my respect for those who is coding Ares. What I mean was that Ares is not finish, that is where I shall leave off. I am not complaining, please try not to assume, I am, again my appologies for those whon were offended,
The Bug I mean was the save game issue listed on the website (link above), but again, it is something else and it is an off hand comment I accidentally made. QUICK_EDIT
look to these tags
[Infantry]
TiberiumProof= ;Am I immune to tiberium/Tiberium gas damage? yes/no
TiberiumHeal= ;Do I slowly heal in tiberium fields? yes/no
For the green glow, I'm not sure. Animated Ore? GreenLamp placed in tiberium area? _________________

As far as I know, those doesn't work.
So, I'd more say, attach a warhead and an alphalight to TWINKLE. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

Hi Graion those are wonderful ideas, can you spare a sample of the coding which can get me there?
The Warhead is easy enough, but the alphalight to Twinkle, how is that done? I need more information, and also the warhead attachment. I presume the warhead have a radiation component to it to make the area glow of green just like the Desolator when they deploy themselves? QUICK_EDIT

Note for animwarheads, you need NPatch or Ares. Due to having additional alphalight handling, Ares would be a wiser choice.
TWINKLE is the animation on the ore.
For damaging, use Damage and Warhead. For alphalights, let me refer you to this article.
