    So with this new PTE, my mod IgnWarzone has been affected and now I can't build dox any more, which is a little odd, as they worked fine before.

    Are there some changes I need to account for in the new PTE and therefore the next patched version?

    Your mod still has default.settings files in it. The assault bot folder has one. Upon removing it, initial try suggests I can build dox. As well as I have no clue what is different with your mod, but know economywise that something definitely is somewhere.

    Humm it doesn't seem to have fixed the problem for me.

    And it also seem to be the only unit that can't be built.

    I can't use the darned mod at all. It plays vanilla PA for me, with the mod enabled, and I verified the files in the mod and... I don't know what I am supposed to be seeing in them... Is your version the same as your latest publish to PAMM?

    If you want to troubleshoot a local version we can't see, then here is the fishing rod to catch your own fish:

    https://forums.uberent.com/threads/hlp-commander-model-as-a-unit-model.65990/

    Follow the steps in that thread to verify the entire path the dox takes, from loading via unitlist.json to the unit itself and it's weapon and ammo and lastly it's build bar.

    Make sure to double check the bot factory's buildables and the dox's unit types to make sure it has what it needs to be buildable by factory.

    Also, this is important, in each step you check make sure to verify the .json (use jsonview0.9 in firefox or whatever you need to read the json and greenlight it to prove no errors in type exist)

    Lastly or rather firstly as you should do this fist actually you should check your user/appdata/local/uber entertainment/planetary annihilation/log folder, when you load up your mod in-game, and scan for errors and if the errors proceed to mention an error with a dox file.

    Assuming github is current; There are several errors on the console. It looks like putting
    Code:
    "display_name":
    back in front of "Dox" will fix the immediate problem.

    Code:
    WARN nav spec[/pa/units/air/bomber/bomber.json] moveSpeed[35] vs brake[1] results in a VERY LARGE distanceToStartBraking[612.5]!!!
     It's recommended that brake be increased or max move speed be decreased so 'distanceToStartBraking' is less than the radius of a small moon[150].

    Well the dox is fixed, but I do feel like I need to fix these other errors before I continue development.

    However the errors listed for the missiles are very weird, as I haven't messed with the missiles as far as I can see, they should be drawing the missiles from vanilla.

    But you know me, I might have inadvertently done something.
