How to change things in the produciton screen?

[unmerged(92516)]

Hi I've been modding hearts of iron 2 (no dd or arma) for a couple of months now and I've been wondering how to change what the produciton screen displays.Example if the produciton screen has a ship listed as a ca-1 how do I change it to a ca-5?I have been looking all over to try to find something on how this is done and I've never seen it mentioned anywhere.Any help as to how to do this would be greatly apperciated.

Not really sure what you mean - to get the chance to build a CA5 you need to research CA techs throughout the game until the correct level for CA 5, no modding involved. Or do you want to be able to build CA5 from the start? Then modding can do it, you need to give the country you play all the techs needed in its scenario file.

Or do you mean how to change a CA 1 that is already in production? Well, units that are being built cannot be changed while being built. So you either stay with a CA1 in production or you cancel this build completely and start building newer ships when available.

You can always edit the save file. Search for division_development from the correct country section, then change the model number to whatever you want.

No maybe this helps

No the prodcution screen.Where you pick ships to build.Alright just for an example say I've got a ohio class ship a CA-1 that I can pick to build from my produciton screen.If I want the produciton screen to read a alaska class ship CA-5 instead of the ohio class CA-1 how do I change it.Just to try and be more clear I'm not asking how to get to a Ca-5 through reaserch(thats simple)or how to start the game with that tech(Already know how to do that)and I don't want to change something already in produciton or a saved game file.I want to change the text of units you can pick to build in the produciton screen.I know they did it somehow in C.O.R.E. becuse you can pick an ACR to build.It doesn't still say a CA-1 or whatever in the produciton screen.Any Ideas on how to do that?

So you want to change the model name, then? You would have gotten answer immediately if we had understood what you were asking. Well, edit the unit model you want to change - models.csv in config folder is the file you want to look at.
