energy storage

[randyreed]

i am having a problem with not being able to build t1 energy storage. the engineers and support commanders are not showing it on the list to build. I can bring up the entire unit list and place it. any help would be great. Sorry if it is answered somewhere else i didnt see it. Oh but the vanilla version does not have this issue

please read the red text above for instructions on how to make a proper post here
you'll need to attach a game.log file and describe your issue properly (what game mode, what mods etc)

ok i will try to figure out how to post the required info. To describe it better i cant build energy storage. No mods just the faf client and launch a game. None of the factions can build energy storage. T1 T2 T3 engineers and the support commander when you select them to build it does not show up as a option for them to build. The only way you can get one is to press f2 and place it. It is not showing up in the build bar to build. The original offline version does not have this problem. It will let you build it but not faf. Tried clearing the game files and reloading the in the options of the faf client but that did not help it.

i am not from tech support but i kindly ask you to check if energie storage is not restricted . (i know it is obvius but still)

that is really unusual situaton as well, can your opponent or AI build energie storages??

maybe give us screenshot from game when t1 engineer is selected, just because it is hard to beleve that you really have that problem


If you read red text carefully you will surely find instructions about how to make a report, good luck
(enable log saving in settings, reproduce issue, in faf click HELP -> show logs, upload logs here or on pastebin website)

i think i done it right if not let me know. Thanks for taking the time to try to help.
It says no restictions and the ai can build it. strange. makes me think i might have messed up the client download or something

so much about "no mods". I didnt see the "mod enabled" log entry (didnt look too carefully) so it might be just a broken mod info file. Try to delete the mod "modern war" and also "fixed exmex".

If that doesnt work try to remove your entire mod folder (copy it somewhere else before).

strange. I have removed the mod file. Reinstalled the faf client. Reinstalled the forged alliance to see if maybe it was throwing it off. Still no change. Also noticed the tac defense seems to be missing also just like the energy storage but in the original version it is there. Any other idea. Thanks guys for trying to help. This one has me confused.

have you actually tryed to play with people? do you get decync?
also would be nice to try temporarely remove all mods from mod folder...

Thought i don't understand how disabled mods still affect stuff

[randyreed]

i saved the mod file but i deleted the all the mod folders. now only ones showing is the ones the original came with. Just got done playing a ladder match and my opponent said he could build e storage but i couldnt. It didnt give any problems that i could tell. Seem to play like a normal match. no sync issues.

please post another game.log. This time these mod issues shouldnt happen and maybe it's easier to spot the real issue.

can you screenshot your t1 build menu of an engineer (just in case) and post a link to imgur?
