Building limit modding

[pepeq]

Hello, how can I increase the limit of buildings per territory, ex. from 2 to 4 fortresses?
I play EE2 AOS with 1.5 patch.

Hi.
With Unofficial Patch 1.5 you can edit file:
zips\territory.ddf (default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Sierra\Empire Earth II\zips\territory.ddf)
This file is used by both: Empire Earth II and Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy (expansion pack).

Code: Select all

maximumReq =
   {
      typeCounts =
      [
         { type = CityCenter   count = 1 }
         { type = AirDefense   count = 7    showInUI = 1 nameInUI = tx_utn_airdefense_tReqName }
         { type = CoastalDefense   count = 6    showInUI = 1 nameInUI = tx_utn_coastdefense_tReqName }
         { type = Fortress   count = 2    showInUI = 1 }
         { type = Wall_Tower   count = 7    showInUI = 1 nameInUI = tx_utn_walltower_tReqName }
         { type = House      count = 6    showInUI = 1 }         // @NOTE houses requirement is needed for various power upgrades.  please consult Andrew before removing it
         { type = Market      count = 1    showInUI = 1 }   
         { type = Outpost   count = 7    showInUI = 1 }
         { type = Temple      count = 1    showInUI = 1 }         // @NOTE temple requirement is needed for "Favor of the Gods" region power to work correctly.  please consult Andrew before removing it
         { type = University   count = 1    showInUI = 1 }
         { type = Missile_Silo   count = 4    showInUI = 1 }
         { type = Mgm   count = 1    showInUI = 0 }
         { type = AirDefense2   count = 4    showInUI = 1 }
         { type = Radar   count = 1    showInUI = 0 }
         { type = Machinegunnest   count = 7    showInUI = 1 }
         { type = Granary        count = 1   showInUI = 0 }
         { type = Airport3        count = 1   showInUI = 0 }
         { type = Market215        count = 1   showInUI = 0 }
      ]
   }

Remember that if you're playing Multiplayer - all your friends need to use the same file to be able to join your games.

I want to unlimited (or very hight limit) building with all for the fun !

Hi romscorp!
So if you're modding on Unofficial Version 1.5:
1. Open file zips/territory.ddf
2. For example find line:

Code: Select all

 { type = House      count = 6    showInUI = 1 } 

count = NUMBER - the limit of buildings.
showInUI = 1 (or 0) - if 1 then this unit will be visible in User Interface (in EE2 when you click on a territory), if 0 then the unit won't be shown, but the limit will still exist.
If you don't want any buildings limits, simply remove all lines:

Code: Select all

 { type = AirDefense   count = 7    showInUI = 1 nameInUI = tx_utn_airdefense_tReqName }
         { type = CoastalDefense   count = 6    showInUI = 1 nameInUI = tx_utn_coastdefense_tReqName }
         { type = Fortress   count = 2    showInUI = 1 }
         { type = Wall_Tower   count = 7    showInUI = 1 nameInUI = tx_utn_walltower_tReqName }
         { type = House      count = 6    showInUI = 1 }         // @NOTE houses requirement is needed for various power upgrades.  please consult Andrew before removing it
         { type = Market      count = 1    showInUI = 1 }   
         { type = Outpost   count = 7    showInUI = 1 }
         { type = Temple      count = 1    showInUI = 1 }         // @NOTE temple requirement is needed for "Favor of the Gods" region power to work correctly.  please consult Andrew before removing it
         { type = University   count = 1    showInUI = 1 }
         { type = Missile_Silo   count = 4    showInUI = 1 }
         { type = Mgm   count = 1    showInUI = 0 }
         { type = AirDefense2   count = 4    showInUI = 1 }
         { type = Radar   count = 1    showInUI = 0 }
         { type = Machinegunnest   count = 7    showInUI = 1 }
         { type = Granary        count = 1   showInUI = 0 }
         { type = Airport3        count = 1   showInUI = 0 }
         { type = Market215        count = 1   showInUI = 0 }

I would recommend to keep:

Code: Select all

   { type = CityCenter   count = 1 }

Else it will be very weird in game
