upgradeable buildings

[enigma]

Hello everybody

I couldnt find something about this, but maybe somebody can help me with my little problem:

I wanted to create some buidlungs with the newest version of UE (still playing my own modified version of UDM III). The buildings should work like the scanners: if you have the technology researched, you can upgrade it. I made this buildungs, but when i had researched the technology, the new building wasnt replacing the old one. Instead i can have the 2 buildings at the same time.

(I made this for a kind of asteroid espionage base. It will give more Intel with upgrades, similar to the standard information buildings, but only buildable in few systems)

Is there a way to make this possible?

greetings, enigma

I feel your pain here,

Currently the upgrade code is hard coded and very limited. So adding new upgrades is not possible.

upgrades can only be an additional bonus and older building would still be used.

The research that has been done is very limited, here is only post on subject that I know of.
