You can also use Windowsprogramms to search for files or strings inside files like Astrogrep:

Ok, managed to find the mod units I wanted.

Windows search isn't helpful so I have to use Dos to search for it. Hope this will help some gamer looking for specific mod units.

(1) In Windows, right click mouse at the lower left hand of Windows to call up the menu (I don't know what that menu is called), select Search.
(2) In the Search box, type "CMD.exe" (type in without the quotes") to go into Dos prompt.
(3) In Dos, change to your mods directory (or folder) using the "CD" command.
Example "CD Supreme Commander - Forged Alliance" (type in without the quotes").
(4) Type in "Findstr /s /i advanced battleship *.bp >Unitsname.txt" (type in without the quotes").

Explanation
The "/s" will search all folder and its sub-folder.
The "/i" will make a non case-sensitive string search.
The "advanced battleship" is the string we look for.
The *.bp is the file to look for that specific string.
The ">Unitsname.txt" will save all the matching string of folder, file and strings into this Unitsname.txt

Then use notepad to open this Unitsname.txt file to read the where the units are.

You can change the buildtime inside the Economy table from the blueprint:
Code:
Economy = { BuildCostEnergy = 17600, BuildCostMass = 2700, BuildTime = 7350, },

I can't find this "Economy" section in TotalMayhem files. Other mods have a Mod_units.Bp file but not in TotalMayhem folder.

I think the ship I wanted to edit is the original Battleship (not a modded ship). Any way I could edit the original ship and what filename and where should I look for that file to edit.

Thanks.

Which Faction Battleship is it you after to change?

I have managed to find these in Blue Naval Ship mod. Below are the ships edited to shorten the build time

(1) filename = tcsc0401_unit.bp
Description = 'Experimental Missile Submarine'
Original BuildTime = 14400 (around 12 mins)
Edited BuildTime = 7200 (around 6 mins)

(2) filename = TCSS0403_unit.bp
Description = 'Experimental Cruiser'
Original BuildTime = 40000 (around 33 mins)
Edited BuildTime = 10800 (around 9 mins)

(3) filename = tcsu0302_unit.bp
Description = 'Drone Carrier',
Original BuildTime = 16200, (around 13.5 mins)
Edited BuildTime = 6000 (around 5 mins)

(4) filename = tcba0401_unit.bp
Description = 'Experimental Quantum Weapon',
Original BuildTime = 22500, (around 18.75 mins)
Edited BuildTime = 12000 (around 10 mins)

(5) filename = tcau0401_unit
Description = 'Experimental Dreadnought',
Original BuildTime = 60000 (around 50 mins)
Edited BuildTime = 14400 (around 12 mins)

(6) filename = tclc0301_unit
Description = 'Mobile EMP Flare Launcher',
Original BuildTime = 10800 (around 9 mins)
Edited BuildTime = 8400 (around 7 mins)

But I cannot find the "Advanced Battleship (Poseidon class) which has a build time of 39 mins.

Uveso, you were right. I must have edited the wrong file. Now it is working. Many thanks.

I can't seem to find the unit folder for T3 "Advanced Long-Range Missile Mech" (Owens) in TotalMayhem folder.

Another question is, can I edit the build time for T3 naval ship becos some ships are way too long to build.

Thanks again.

Maybe you modified the wrong unit ?

I changed the two Commandcaps:

Code:: RULEUCC_CallTransport = true, RULEUCC_Transport = true,

And after this i can transport the Banshee with TECH1, 2 and 3 transports.

Be sure you edited the right file:

Code:: \Mods\TotalMayhem\units\BRNT2BM\BRNT2BM_unit.bp

The only unit i know with the name Banshee is a Total Mayhem UEF Tech 2 Bot with an experimental Icon that can be build by engineers, not a factory.

Inside the Blueprint this unit has disabled the commandcaps for transport:
Code:
RULEUCC_CallTransport = false, RULEUCC_Transport = false,
That's why you can't load this unit inside a transporter. (It's an experimental)

I did that by editing it to "True" but still cannot ferry the bot. Maybe the game don't allow this ?

Transport Banshee robot

2020-04-18T16:51:54+02:00

Hi,

I am playing a map with medium size island, none of the fraction land are joined so have to use transport to fly them to enemy' base for battle.

I tried T3 heavy transport to fly a Banshee robot but the transport won't carry it - the mouse cursor only displayed an assist icon and not ferry icon.

Any way to transport a Banshee ?

Thanks
