Sea Sonar Stations

[FlameFlash]

I'm wanting to add sonar bouys or sensor bouys or whatever to Doc: Ini.

Where do I start to find info about how to do this?

Doesn't changing 'Disable' in this line to 'none' or a tech name work?

Sensor Array, None, Sensor Array, Disable, 4, Construct $STR0, O, O

You can find this line in the alphax.txt file, under the 'TERRAIN' paragraph

Try this:

Sensor Array, None, Sensor Array, None, 4, Construct $STR0, O, O

Many thanks...

I'm trying this out now:

Sensor Array,     None,    Sensor Buoy,     DocInit,  4,  Construct $STR0, O, O

Would be great, though, if the graphics could be adapted as well... Imagine, nearly invisible buoys...

That would be! As it is, it looks kind of strange having it sitting out there on the water, but it works fine. Just play-tested it.

Change it too, though. Forgot how long it can take to get to DocInit and DocFlex was the one I was meaning anyway.

Sensor Array,     None,    Sensor Buoy,     DocFlex,  4,  Construct $STR0, O

Hello FlameFlash,

when you say you tested this, does it mean you just built it, or that you employed units in the area and verified they recieved the +25% defense bonus? Reason I am asking is that I modified my alphax.txt a while ago to include building sea sensors, and was able to build them fine, however Petek pointed out that the sensors weren't giving the +25% bonus. When you get the chance, can you let me know if you have verified the sea sensors are giving a +25% defense bonus, as I would really like to be able to build these (I've always felt that the sea aspects of the game were neglected by Firaxis).

I'll check that out soon, Darsnan. My main want was to simply allow for early warning, with no care if there was a +25% bonus.

If you're thinking of including this in a next ACDG (or whatever), you can count on my vote.
