Weird Research/techtree issue

posted on October 26th, 2013, 5:36 pm

Ok for my Star wars mod i decided to make some changes in the tech-tree. (All I did was change the Research item name, tooltip and verbosetooltip and made a few additions) But once I changed everything around on the second research facility the research items no longer appear. I know this sounds like a techtree issue but here's the thing. It shows up just fine in the first research center. I've tried remaking the station odf several times but nothing works. Any help?

This is the station odf maybe someone can spot something that i missed?
It does have the line 'research = 1' so i don't think thats the problem

So, does the research button show up with no build options, or is it there at all?

Also, what race does the Reb_resear2 belong to?

and what are it's tech requirements?

its just the research button showing up with no build options. the race is 'rebel' which is the correct faction name. Right now there are no techtree requirments

Is it possible button isn't working for that pod?

Also, does the research station actually have hardpoints? If it only has a "root" hardpoint, it might not build

Well the button works when I put it on the first research station. And I did go back and redo the hardpoints because i used the odf for Starfleet Science so it had those hardpoints. I noticed in the pod odf i'm working with right now still had 'unitedfederation' as the race and i changed it but it still didn't show up in the second station's built list. I'm gonna compare this odf with an older one and see what's different.

Well I got it to work now. I took the same odf from an earlier version and just changed the builditem and it worked. I must have really messed up that other odf. Still don't know what the difference was.
