Modding mayor mode tree plopping cost

[arl85 0]

Hi. A simple question: I want to change the mayor mode trees' cost from 3$ to 1$. so i changed the plop cost for their exemplars, but when I start SC4 I notice that every tree is present twice on the menu. how can I solve this small problem?

I attach my dat, if it can be useful.

thanks in advance

If you modded one you downloaded, then delete the origianl. If you did this to the origianl trees then thats a gitch in the game that i dont think has been solved yet.

How did you solve it? I'm struggling with the same problem.

Btw, where can I find the latest version of iLives Reader? I just couldn't found it in STEX.

If you can't find the Reader at the STEX, try SC4D's LEX. As for the doubled menu buttons, this is a side effect of having a copy of the modded exemplar files in your plugins folder. The only workaround is making the in-game exemplar file invalid by removing most of its properties and giving your modded exemplar file a new ID.

Thanks for the replies.

By the way, is there any way to stop ploppable trees from cycling through growth stages? Full-grown trees suddenly turn into small trees after a set period of time. It really doesn't look nice.

Well, those trees are modded to mimic what happens in real-life: A sapling is growing into a large tree, but one day, the tree is either cut down, or dies of a natural cause, but soon enough, another sapling will take its place.

I have never gone through a whole cycle of a tree life. How many years its it? It should be modded that you can select undieable trees.

The life cycle differs from tree to tree, but it's around 50 game years, I think. "Undieable" trees are already there - just use regular props instead of flora props.
