Is it possible to limit weapons stores in TE?

Post by eXor »

I'm making a tactical TE and want to limit the amount of weapons each side has available. I've edited the Squadron stores via tacedit but when i go to play the TE the weapons are all there and in seemingly unlimited quantities.

I've seen how it can be done via F4BROWSE and terradata\objects but this would change for all Campaigns and TEs on my computer. I wanted a TE specific change but it seems like this is impossible.

When a new squad is created, the stores are allocated and copied from SSD file. Once the squad is there though - it uses this list. You can edit (I think - did I write that code??) in tacedit from the squadron dialog.

1. I fire up tacedit and load up the TE
2. I click Units on the tree view on left
3. I double click the squad i want to modify
4. 3 tabs-->Base Unit, Unit Properties and Squadron page
5. I click Squadron Page
6. I click stores
7. I double click the store i want to modify and enter a value
8. I save TE

When i go into the TE and assign a flight from that squadron, all the weapons are there and in more quantities than that stores page. Unless I'm editing the wrong thing, seems like it can't be done.
