OpenRA

Hi

I am a beginner..

I tried to make the Technical Center (MISS) buildable.

If I just put it into rules/structures.yaml, naming it MISS - it does not appear in the buildings options

If I copy the same MISS and name it XTEC(for example), I am able to build this new building, but as soon as I want to place it the game crashes telling me it could not find "xtec.shp"

How do I make MISS structure buildable for players?
Or how do I copy MISS.SHP to a new xtec.shp file? (I could not find any miss.shp)



MISS:

Hm, actually you should be fine by just redefining "Prerequisites:" on "Buildable:"... Not sure why that doesn't work for you. Anyway, you shouldn't need to copy the definition around, you just need to edit it in "tech.yaml".

For the crash after renaming: You need to redefine "Image:" on "RenderSprites:" (the game looks for the unit name as shp name by default).

Thanks. Yeah, I found that out now. I've put a new MISS building into structure.yaml but did not know it already existed in tech.yaml. So it was ignored...

I tried to clone a ship doing this way with RenderSprites

The game always crashes at start, exception is:
OpenRA.YamlException: Bad indent in miniyaml at cnc|rules/ships.yaml

I tried I also tried Nothing helps. :-(

the exception indicates you've got a bad indent somewhere when you changed the code in the ships yaml.
