Tech Colum 4 Function?

Post by Viper151 »

In the tech file .TTRX the fourth column is labeled as Pic. I distinctly remember it being used in the past as an email parameter for when the tech is research. For example email 735 informs players that X country has researched a nuclear weapons progress tech and email 425 is used to inform the players X country tested an atomic bomb.

Does this old functionality still work or has it been reworked?

Once upon a time, we'd considered having pics for each tech or one pic for a set of similar technologies. It's currently unimplemented and has never been used for anything. I don't remember all the email parameters, but pic isn't used.

After doing some trials it appears that whatever email id you place in the pic column is triggered on research of that tech. However it only works for legitimately researching it, not event 22 i0 adding it. The email parameters appear to be country and name of tech. Works perfectly for my mod, just thought you might want to know.
