Adding items instead of replacing everything?

[NastyKhan]

Hi,

Is there a way to ADD my custom items to "startingBase" items collection without removing everything else from the list and without re-declaring whole list?

startingBase:
  items:
    STR_SNIPER_RIFLE: 2
    STR_SNIPER_RIFLE_AMMO: 6

I googled this, but it doesn't seem to work:

#base mod:
 items:
   - type: STR_WEAPON
     compatibleAmmo: !info     #this tag does not change anything, but when used it will show (in the log file) if the list supports this functionality or not
       - STR_AMMO_1
       - STR_AMMO_2
 
 #sub-mod
 items:
   - type: STR_WEAPON
     compatibleAmmo: !add      #now `STR_WEAPON` will have ammo list equal to `[STR_AMMO_1, STR_AMMO_2, STR_AMMO_3]`
       - STR_AMMO_3
 
 #another sub-mod
 items:
   - type: STR_WEAPON
     compatibleAmmo: !remove   #now `STR_WEAPON` will have ammo list equal to `[STR_AMMO_1, STR_AMMO_3]`
       - STR_AMMO_2

Best regards

Just tested it out on my system (since i wasn't sure). For OXC you need to re-declare the whole list (no need to remove anything, once you define ```items:``` the previously defined list is thrown away).

For support of the syntax as shown by your google result you need OXCE (see: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5258.0.html), OXC does not support this.

Hope this helps

Hmm... That makes sense. Thank you

One caveat, in this case this will never work as engine load this in very specific way that can't have enable this.
