Allow components/structures to be made unavailable #3785
Conversation
|
I gave my PR another look over (self-review), it all seems good. |
|
This has been tested, and works for me. |
Re-tested more thoroughly. It is broken a bit, see OP for details. |
I don't plan on fixing these issues any time soon (i frankly don't know how). So if anyone wants to do it go right ahead. It would be nice to get this PR into v4.5.0. Thanks. See #3799 for more info. |

Attempts to fix these issues: When a component is made unavailable, any queued units with that component will remain in the production menu and will only be cleared upon re-opening the menu if there is only 1 queued, otherwise the "ghost" template will remain until unqueued. An error is given when the game attempts to produce the unit: "Machinegun Viper Half-tracks : not researched weapon 0", "Wrong template for player 0 factory, type 1".

Description:
Modders need the ability to remove/make-unavailable components and structures, both through the API and through research.
Adds
removedComponentsandremovedStructurestoresearch.json.Adds
disableStructureandmakeComponentUnavailableto the API.Why it is needed:
Making things redundant isn't always good enough. Lets say you want to add Mk2/Mk3 propulsions, you don't want the objectively inferior versions showing up at all, especially if they share the same exact name. Another example, going from Scavenger tech to Military tech, you don't want the inferior Scavenger stuff showing up at all.
Additional information:
I am a newb at C++, so there may be some big or small problems.
