Techs Question

I am working on a mod and from playtesting the game some techs I do not want used have been turning on later in the game, for instance I am being attacked in the musket age by SAM infantry.

I have tagged all the later techs with TECH_FUTURE_TECH, so they will need to have future tech as a prerequisite before they can be used. Will this work, or do I have to completely remove all the techs I am not using from the tech tree? I am hoping I do not have to go through the trouble of taking all these techs out. Thanks for any help.

 

I think I remember trying to do that in a mod I was working on. If I remember correctly TECH_FUTURE_TECH didn't work as a prereq and I had to use TECH_FUSION instead.

 

I have also tried that in my mod, exept it was a unit that required future tech. I'm pretty sure it's because the future tech is repeatable so basicly when you discover it, you don't actually have it.

I'm not sure though why it would allow someone to build SAMs. Are you sure you have defined it to require a certain tech that no one has?

 

You can set the bDisable field in Civ4TechInfos to 1 to disable a tech. If I remember correctly, the tech still shows up in the tech tree, but it's a different color and can't be reserched.

 

Yes I disabled them today, all the ones I am not using. The x and y coordinates are all set to -1 so they are not on the techtree.

The French built a whole bunch of them, funny they had galleons full of them(SAM infantry and artillery. A wooden fleet with galleons and frigates, transporting modern weapons. The techs were not disabled properly.
