Tutorial: Adding additional starting defence forces

[rebel5555]

In this tutorial I will describe how to add additional forces that spawn when someone attacks you an the campaign and galactic conquest.

 

*First open the SPECAILSTUCTURES.XML

  (For example I'll be using the rebel heavy factory)

 

*Find this code under the ("R_Ground_Heavy_Vehicle_Factory"):

 

MPTL, 2

MPTL, -1

 

MPTL_Spotter, 2

MPTL_Spotter, -1

 

* This code means that it will spawn when you are attcked the MPTL and it's spotter

 

*Next add this line of code:

 

T4B_Tank, 3

T4B_Tank, -1

 

*This code means it will spawn the rebel's heavy tank

 

I hope this will help someone. I find that it wasn't right not to have all the units that you can build not spawn when you are attacked. Using this you can add all the units that aren't spawned when you are attacked.

You can also edit the starting defence forces for each level of space station

 

* Example (using rebel level 5 star base):

 

Rebel_X-Wing_Squadron,  10

Rebel_X-Wing_Squadron, -1

 

 

Y-Wing_Squadron, 6

Y-Wing_Squadron, -1

 

Corellian_Corvette, 2

Corellian_Corvette, -1

 

Nebulon_B_Frigate, 2

Nebulon_B_Frigate, -1

 

10

 

Ill Add the Calamari Cruiser:

 

Calamari_Cruiser,1

Calamari_Cruiser, -1

 

This code means in lamen terms; That it will spawn one instance of a calamari cruiser and will keep spawing them (when the original one is destroyed) until the hanger hardpoint is destroyed.

Where is the specailssturtures.xml?, I can't find it in the xml folder...

[Mikan Cyclone]

Did you extract it?

[EJMM]

No, I'm using a unlimited Pop cap mod right now, I reinstaled the game to see if this was the case, and it didn't work, It must be that the original xml file was overwrited by the mod's one.
