Impossible Technology

July 22, 2006 5:40:19 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I'm trying to create a line of technology for a custom race, specialized for the race, to do this I want to add a starting technology that is not researchable. For example, I have the new Federation based weapons from the Star Trek mod and I'm trying to create an Unresearchable Technology called First Contact or Vulcan Influence, havent decided which yet, which will be the basis for some Trek inspired Technologies, but I cant get the First one to be unresearchable. Is this possible?

Of course, the [ and ] must be replaced with < and >...

Do keep in mind that until such a time as tech capture is made toggleable (if ever), other races will still be able to get your racial techs and research the rest of that particular tree from that point onward. Even if tech trade is off.

I've done the ImpossibleTech required bit and it still doesnt work, the only way I can get it working so far is too make the cost to research so high that it would take millions of years.

would putting the techs in the tech tree AFTER the last technological victory tech work? The game would end, (theoretically) but you wouldn't get to those other techs.

it works in that it makes the technology useless to research for any race, as it costs too much and then I can add it as a starting tech with my custom race by editing the races XML file.. it works, but its kinda messy.

Why would you want to make an unresearchable tech.

Because I want to add the new Federation Technologies, but limit it to being restricted to my federation Custom Race, and then eventually modify the other races to have some variety in the tech tree, as it stands, its quite bland.

I would want to use it to make something only available to core ships. It was also an idea that, unfortunatly, cannot be finished to to the game coding, would have hopefully made starfighters more useful near the end game, as I wanted to add a defense against certain weapons built into the hull. But it will only work for core designs.
