Trying to impliment alternate weapons in base defense.

I am aware of

In the base defense mission, the  game is using the original

  - type: STR_BASE_DEFENSE
    data:
    etc
    width: 100
    length: 100
    height: 6
    #script: XBASE
    terrains:
      - XBASE
    briefing:
      palette: 0
      background: BACK01.SCR
      music: GMENBASE
    points: 5

So, any clue as to why it does so? Am I missing something?

Put your ruleset into code blocks like everyone else please.

There is a forum syntax specifically for that, like this:

Code: [Select]
blah blah

How to for code blocks

And any luck? On why base defense for deployment is not using the correct one? Like

    raceBonus:   
      STR_BANDIT_REGIMENT:
        craftCustomDeploy: STR_ENZEPPELIN_BANDIT
        missionCustomDeploy: STR_BASE_DEFENSE_BANDIT

STR_BASE_DEFENSE is triggered instead of  STR_BASE_DEFENSE_BANDIT

use a toolbar icon for code block

or quote my previous example to see how the syntax works

or google it

Is this Syntax legal? Just yes or no will be enough.

If you keep ignoring me, I will ignore you.

I officially ask you, as a moderator, to use the code block formatting for any pasted ruleset.

? What is this ignoring? I personally have no idea what is happening. Perhaps a miscommunication issue?

I have gotten this to work actually.

In all the examples I have seen on the forum. I have yet to see an example like I did. Having multiple  missionCustomDeploy like I did.

Anyway, I can't test it because I need to overhaul my Alienmission with all my new ufos before I could.  I will probably get to it eventually.

Sighed.  Thanks anyway.

Happy.

And to answer the question, that syntax is not legal.

Damn. Is there a way to achieve what I seek differently? Different type of terror missions, using the dreadnought deployment  template?

Or this deal is one per UFO only? Like 1 craftcustomdeploy and missioncustomdeploy per UFO?
