Spring Build menus and how it relates to the TDF??

[Buggi]

Okay, I've battled them for a LONG time now and I finally am throwing in the towel. How the heck does Spring know what buttons to build where? Since every unit can have different commands (on/off, cloak, etc) where/how can proper build menus be made?!

I found the code that sets it... (UnitDefHandler.cpp)

Code: Select all

int num=(menu-2)*6+button+1;
builder->buildOptions[num]=un2;

So, from the first entry of the FARK...

Code: Select all

[MENUENTRY1]
{
	UNITMENU=ARMALAB;
	MENU=4;
	BUTTON=3;
	UNITNAME=ARMFARK;
}

This is telling me using that formula that it'll be given position 16...
!?!?!

Please shed some light on this... As well as what is the maximum number of menus a unit can have

Build menues seem like a big mess and those number was something I experimented to get. If you look there is also another sort of files that give the position directly rather than as menu/pos.

Spring just start adding build menu buttons after it has added all the standard buttons so nothing magic about that.

There should be no upper limit on how many buildings spring can handle. Select one of every sort of building/factory and you will get a big build menu indeed.

I'm getting units/buildings that are not appearing. Some may be due to button/menu conflicts... but I was told Spring ignored those

That doesn't seem to be the case ...

So how to resolve conflicts when regular TA was what? 3x3 and spring is 2x7?

Are you missing files in your Spring directory? To make any mod work you must also have the original TA content (for example, the .ccx file that comes with the full TA Spring install), either in the same file or in a separate archive.

If I could find my TA install cd I'd install it.

Otherwise I'm good. I'm not completely useless :)

I'm not completely useless :)

I hope so . Anyways I suppose you already know that, butwhat I meant is that, to get any mod to work, you must have taenheter.ccx in your Spring directory.
