Is it possible to increase the level of general ability?

Like making barrage 4 levels from 3?

It'd require a new OCL.
Code:

ObjectCreationList SUPERWEAPON_ArtilleryBarrage4
... blah blah blah OCL things ...
End

A new science.
Code:

Science SCIENCE_ArtilleryBarrage4
... science things ...
End

A new button.
And tinkering with the Command Center.

You have to find these lines on the China Command Center.

Code:

  Behavior           = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_17
    SpecialPowerTemplate = SuperweaponArtilleryBarrage
    UpgradeOCL           = SCIENCE_ArtilleryBarrage3 SUPERWEAPON_ArtilleryBarrage3
    UpgradeOCL           = SCIENCE_ArtilleryBarrage2 SUPERWEAPON_ArtilleryBarrage2
    OCL                  = SUPERWEAPON_ArtilleryBarrage1
    CreateLocation       = CREATE_AT_EDGE_FARTHEST_FROM_TARGET
  End


and another UpgradeOCL with the appropriate entries.
ORDER MATTERS, put it before Artillery Barrage 3.

AND to complete with buttons find this button and its FromShortcut counterpart

Code:

CommandButton Command_ArtilleryBarrage
  Command           = SPECIAL_POWER
  SpecialPower      = SuperweaponArtilleryBarrage
  Options           = NEED_SPECIAL_POWER_SCIENCE NEED_TARGET_POS CONTEXTMODE_COMMAND
  Science           = SCIENCE_ArtilleryBarrage1 SCIENCE_ArtilleryBarrage2 SCIENCE_ArtilleryBarrage3 ;These will cause the buttons to change icons, nothing more
  TextLabel         = CONTROLBAR:ArtilleryBarrage
  ButtonImage       = SSBarrage
  ButtonBorderType  = ACTION ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
  DescriptLabel     = CONTROLBAR:TooltipFireArtilleryBarrage
  RadiusCursorType  = ARTILLERYBARRAGE
  InvalidCursorName     = GenericInvalid
End


just put the 4th level after the 3rd with spaces to separate them of course.
...and test!

wait now it says science ini is missing... caught by WB

ASSERTION FAILURE: Science name SCIENCE_ArtilleryBarrage3 not known! (Did you define it in Science.ini?)

That was caused by putting level 4 at the top - I do that for easy tracking. Apparently this is not acceptable for science ini file, it has to be in order.

Huh.

I think that's caused because of how sciences are all declared at once during game start.

If you try putting ANY SCIENCE above Science_America/Science_China/Science_GLA that requires those sciences, the game crashes.
However if you the science you put does NOT have any required sciences then it's totally fine.

I've experienced this because of my mod's Tech Tree.
I put the Tech Trees below the Default Intrinsic Sciences but above all other sciences since my mod has 3 whole sets of Sciences for the new factions.

I always put things at the bottom. Even though it shouldn't matter it's always safest like that. Also if you have something twice it will either take the second one or the game will glitch and break so bottom is best for that (50/50 break or work instead of 33/33/33 break do nothing or work) too. But only in the same file

Even so, putting things at the end just makes sense. You are adding to the game after all so it really should be at the bottom.
