Hello gents, back playing the Build mod after many years away. Amazing progress!
As the typical cheater I am, I'm trying to give myself the USS Constitution via the console.c file -- I'm following the directions in the FAQ in the wiki (adding "US_BattleFrigate" with nation "AMERICA" and a custom name) and then removing the comments from that single line. Once I hit F12 in game and reload to any location, I don't get the new ship... any tips? I searched around the board and couldn't find any advice on this outside the FAQ. I'm trying to do this from a "free play" game, starting as the American naval officer character Josiah Peabody (in case that makes a difference). Much appreciated!
edit: I have "ENABLE_CHEATMODE" set to "1" in InternalSettings.h -- not clear on whether or not this is required as well.
edit2: I'll add that I was able to successfully use the console to reset the Martinique fort memory during the main quest, so some part of the console is functioning for me just not giving myself a new ship
edit3: ... and of course, as soon as I make a post I figure it out -- needed to move the different lines of code above the switch(0) in the file!
