MAM tree common to several mods
My next mod will be composed of several mods (like my Architecture+ mod).
Items will be unlockable via a tree in the MAM.
In the base mod (01), there will be the main tree.
In the following mods (02, 03, etc.), I would like to be able to add items to the main tree of the base mod (01).
The following mods will of course have mod 01 as a dependency
How can I achieve this?
(Without posting a new version of the base mod 01 for each subsequent mod)
For now, I'm creating another tree in the MAM.

Each mod could provide its own mam tree's
Or you could have 1 mam tree's in the base mod that gets modified by the other mods by cdo editing
"Or you could have 1 mam tree's in the base mod that gets modified by the other mods by cdo editing"
Good idea, but how do you do it?
i think contentlib can be used to add mam tree schematics to existing tree's that might be simplest
the other way would be in blueprint, like the base mod could expose a method to add a node, and then its a matter of altering the TreeNode graph cdo
OK, thank you for these suggestions.
I think I'll stick to one tree per mod.
You already have a common lib mod, right?
Oh, but for research trees you'd need to register nodes dynamically from the mods
Or CDO edit stuff into otherwise blank nodes... Eugh
dynamic mam stuff is doable but pretty involved yeah. if you want to go down that route then looking at what the tree editor utility does might help
maybe I should write a library mod that lets you merge 2 trees at runtime... later™
With this ?
Yes, if you could help me because I have no idea how to do it.
I don't know what is providing those nodes, can you send a screenshot of the hover tooltip too?
I wouldn't be able to get to said library mod for more than a week, not sure if you want to wait that long
No description
if you double click on them does it successfully open visual studio or fail to?
if successful it's base game
Yes I can wait a few days, I've been on this mod for several months, and I still have at least another month to go
Yes it's open VS
Looks like those are functions on FGResearchTree
I don't know
contentlib already lets you create mam nodes at run time right?
I am not sure, it is totally untested by me
not sure if @McGalleon | [FexPan / SF+] has tried with it much
Yep. But not the roads between them. At least not with the Json only ContentLib
UE may still be needed for that
But nodes with dependancies and such? Definitely possible
So a tree without any lines is the best you could get from ContentLib
do you know offhand if the code has somehthing that is supposed to work for roads, but doesn't, or if roads are totally ignored right now
I found this in ContentLib, I will study it
Here's what I'd like to do, as in the example (but with multiple mods):
On the left, the tree for mod 01, then elsewhere, the smaller trees for the other mods, unrelated to tree 01.
