Is it possible to add a new unit class? I wanted to separate the Building one in two (one for AA buildings, one for AT buildings, so to speak). I faintly remember the AI having problems with new classes, but since they are buildings it shouldn't be a problem, should it?

Sure. Should be the "classes.txt".

Regarding the AI orders, you can just adapt them. The problem would only matter if you try to use a mod on unchanged stock scens.

Oh no, mine is a total conversion so no problem.

Another question: what are the "stats = 12, 13, 1, 3, 2, 16, 17, 5, 15, 14" I see in the txt?

Should be exactly that; stats for the unit as shown in the UI ("summarized" version maybe). You may have noticed that air, land and naval units have different sets of stats displayed. Although I still miss the torpedo damage stats on bombers and ships...

Personally I never bothered to mess with those settings and don't know if they really work in mods.

A long time ago, I had created a new Unit Class (RECON AIR):

Terminator, how did you remove the prefix UNITCLASS_ in front of the new unit class name?

It was a long time ago...fortunately I have a good memory

You have to add an entry here (for the English and Steam versions) :


PS: it is preferable and recommended to do this in the Mods folder

Ah! Found the naming scheme in english.txt. Added the new unit class names to english_mod.txt. Still, your posting inspired me to go and search, so thanks anyway

Our answers crossed But thanks again mate!

With my new system of classification of reconnaissance units (Recon Land & Recon Air), this would be better presented in the last DLC :
