Making a brand New Building! Need some help!

[Melea Lord]

Right here's the lowdown.

I have made Yubtseb Elephants and a slightly edited War Elephant unit to be recruited. Having an Elephant recuited in a Large Town is rediculous so I think either their Large Temple of Law or their city barracks to be able to recruit Scythian War Elephants. Then I would need a higher up building to be able to recruit Yubtseb. But I don't want to create a new tier level for the Scythians to just build one unit.

So I need to make a new building just for the Scythians called yubtseb_training_ground and make the building capable of recuited War elephants needed in the settlement. I know how to edit the Descr_Export_Buildings file and Export_Buildings but nothing else. What about the picture at the bottom, will that be there? And the picture when you right click it? Will it just CTD?

Is this correct for the Export_Descr_Buildings file?:

building yubtseb
{
levels yubtseb_training_ground
{
yubtseb_training_ground requires factions { scythia, } and building_present_min_level {Insert building type} {Insert Building}
{
capability
{
recruit "cheat oliphants" 0 requires factions { scythia, }
law_bonus bonus 1 (only if it's built needing a Law Temple)
}
construction 5
cost 3200
settlement_min large_town
upgrades
{
}
}
}
plugins
{
}
}

And this for Export_Buildings?:

This is all I know. Help.

[Melea Lord]

Thanks for all your wonderful replies :2thumbsup: . Using THIS (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=50439) tutorial to understand the relationships between the files, I think I have solved the problem.

Now I just need help adding a "thread" to the building tree. You know that peice of text above the building. I'll probably have solved it before someone replies though.

Melea Lord I appreciate your enthusiasm in making your mod but you have to remember that this is a message board forum and not a chat room - very few questions are replied to instantly. If it's really urgent then I recommend you search through the Modding Questions forum as many questions have been asked and answered before.

I gave up, lol. :laugh4: Found away to avoid it. I have had this same impatient manner in other website forums and had warnings. :embarassed: So I'll take control. (thanks for not going to extremes, Usually my first warning is "I'm gonna ban you if you stop double posting". :2thumbsup: )
