One question still : this allows to unlock late eras units in previous eras, but how do I do if I want to maintain the availability of early era units in the late eras ?
For example the MC80 is tech level 0, same as the corellian corvette for instance, which supposedly means available in eras 1 2 3 4 5. But the corvette remains available anytime whereas the MC80 is only available in eras 1 2. Where is the piece of code that determines that ? I couldn't find a relevant factor in the unit entries...
As Slornie stated above, the campaign story script files are what you're looking for. The build restrictions are campaign-specific.
For Art of War: XML\Conquests\ArtofWar and edit StorySandbox files. To remove build restrictions, remove the relevant unit locks from the files.
For MC80:
<Event Name="R_Lock_MC80">
<Event_Type>STORY_TRIGGER</Event_Type>
<Reward_Type>LOCK_UNIT</Reward_Type>
<Reward_Param1>Calamari_Cruiser</Reward_Param1>
<Prereq>Rebels_Enter_Tech_03</Prereq>
</Event>

Depending on what exactly you're trying to do you need to be editing either the tech level in the unit entries in the unit xmls (e.g. Remnant_Space_Units.xml etc), or the lock/unlock scripting in the GC story scripting files. It may be that you need a combination of both to achieve what you want.

« on: September 06, 2014, 10:23:31 AM »Hello eveyone,
I am looking for a way to change some of the build restrictions due to eras in GC, especially with NR so that I can be at full strength at the same time as the IR.
I noticed the TechTree file in the xml folder and that there are different variants of the ships with a tech number ranging from 1 to 5 that matches their era availability, but adding manually one or several lines based on the same model did not work.
Since my non-existent abilities end here, I am asking for help ^^
Where are the files that I need to change and how can I change them please ? I would like it to be reversible so that I can have the best challenge in The Art of War or Essence of War, while still being able to go back to the normal settings so that I can play the historical GCs with the appopriate ships according to canon.
Any information would be most welcome, thanks
