I'm experimenting with creating some shields, which have a new base file. The new shields work fine and I can spawn them in the editor game, but any new shield using a different base file than vanilla will not be displayed in the Item Editor list. If I change it back to use the standard base file it appears in the list again.
My base file, located in: media\units\items\shields\
[UNIT]
<STRING>CREATEAS:EQUIPMENT
<STRING>UNITTYPE:NORMAL SHIELD
<INTEGER>ARMORMIN:40
<INTEGER>ARMORMAX:40
<INTEGER>VALUE:75
<BOOL>DONTCREATE:true
<STRING>FALL_SOUND:Item Fall

<STRING>LAND_SOUND:MetalDrop

<INTEGER>DEFENSE_REQUIRED:45

<STRING>NAME:40
<STRING>ACTIVATION:PASSIVE
<STRING>TYPE:PERCENT KNOCK BACK RESISTANCE
<BOOL>NONMAGICAL:true
<FLOAT>RESISTANCE:40
[/EFFECT]
[/UNIT]
My new shield, also located in: media\units\items\shields\
[UNIT]
<STRING>BASEFILE:media\units\items\shields\tla_base_shield.dat
<INTEGER>DAMAGE_PHYSICAL:0
<TRANSLATE>DISPLAYNAME:Spellblade Shield
<STRING>ICON:icon_weapon_shield07
<INTEGER>LEVEL:23
<STRING>MESHFILE:shield07
<STRING>NAME:tla_spellblade_shield_start
<INTEGER>RARITY:100
<STRING>RESOURCEDIRECTORY:media/models/weapons/_Shields

<INTEGER>SOCKETS:2
<INTEGER>MAX_SOCKETS:2
<STRING>UNIT_GUID:-2458686679345536827
<INTEGER>ARMOR_PHYSICAL:100
[/UNIT]
Everything seems to be in order, as far as I can tell, and like I said. The shield can be spawned and used in the editor.
Has anyone else noticed any similar issues to this?
This is a common bug. If you add the UNITTYPE to the file it will reappear. The majority of my LAO files can't be seen in GUTS because of this issue.
OK, thank you, RnF. A very annoying bug...
