Sidebar start problem + unsellable Sentry Gun

Deformat · Defense Minister **Joined**: 17 Sep 2007

Hello PPM.

I'm currently using Ares 0.8 and am not 100% sure whether it's my weak coding abilities, or some weird bug. I managed to implement a new sidebar for Yuri. Another thing I managed to do was move the Soviet Sentry Gun to Yuri.

Whilst testing, I noticed a weird behavior - every time the game starts, the sidebar doesn't start from the "buildings" tab, but rather the "defenses" tab. Another peculiar behavior is that I can't sell the Sentry Gun whilst built.

Any recommendations?

Inability to sell a building is normally caused by the building not having a buildup (or you used Unsellable=yes). I'm guessing you messed something up when you "moved" the sentry gun. Check that it has a valid art entry & buildup.

Not sure about the defenses tab, that normally only happens when you cant build any buildings & only defenses etc.

If you have any structure in the armory tab immediately after deploying the mcv, armory tab gets selected. Don't remember if it works the same for super weapons.

It doesn't for superweapons, I often attach them to Conyards for testing & haven't had this issue.

Fixed that, seems there was something wrong with MadHQ's buildup file name.

Also, yeah, got buildings there. Might as well move the defenses up to the powerplant.
