Modular Modding

[ComradeKristov]

is there any way to stop a unit form upgading to another unit? For instance I don't want cavalry to upgrade to gunships anymore so I tried this:
<UnitInfo>
<Class>UNITCLASS_CAVALRY</Class>
<Type>UNIT_RUSSIA_COSSACK</Type>
<UnitClassUpgrades>
<UnitClassUpgrade>
<UnitClassUpgradeType>UNITCLASS_GUNSHIP</UnitClassUpgradeType>
<bUnitClassUpgrade>0</bUnitClassUpgrade>
</UnitClassUpgrade>
</UnitClassUpgrades>
</UnitInfo>
but it didn't work is there any way of doing this modularly, without altering the original UnitInfos?

Unfortunately WoC does not support this. You can change a <bUnitClassUpgrade>0</bUnitClassUpgrade> to <bUnitClassUpgrade>1</bUnitClassUpgrade> but not the other way around. It was a design decision that is causing a few of us problems.

Wasn't there recently a ForceOverwrite tag or some such added that in fact does let you do just this?

I don't think ikt has been implemented yet. I asked the question of the WoC team about over writing 1 with 0 less than a month ago and they did not mention it.

Yeah, it is a pain in the arse

Hmm, sounds like something you should ask Grand Master (of RoM Mod-modding) Afforess to help out with, then.

I'm am confident that DH rolled his eyes when he saw that.

Nah, I just sighed.

You could probably do this(You might be able to go into the UnitInfos.xml and do this).

                <UnitInfo>
	 		<Class>UNITCLASS_CAVALRY</Class>
			<Type>UNIT_RUSSIA_COSSACK</Type>
			<UnitClassUpgrades/>
		</UnitInfo>
