PORTER.INI

see that line?
#define UNPACK_TIME 700

make sure it won't be needed, replace all UNPACK_TIME with 700

in the porter.ini go to "GondorPorterInterface" and then "to Sub object revealing.".

Code

    Behavior = SubObjectsUpgrade Armor_Upgrade        ;<- make one for each upgrade you want to use, if you don't then all of the back stuff will appaer
        TriggeredBy        = Upgrade_GondorHeavyArmor ;<- wich upgrade tiger the change
        ShowSubObjects    = ARMOR        ;<- what to show at the back
        HideSubObjects    = BANNERS BOWS BRAZIER SWORDS TREBUCHET_FIRE BANNERS SHIELDS COAL FireArowTip Forged_Blade ;<- what to hide at the back
        SkipFadeOnCreate = Yes
    End


Note:
we have a lot of backback:
BANNERS <- banner carrier took that place, but you can give it back :P
SWORDS Forged_Blade    <-Forged Blades
BOWS <- Rohirim Bows, Deezire used it for all rohan archer unit and droped the flaming arrows
BRAZIER FireArowTip <- Flaming Arrows
ARMOR <- Heavy Armor
TREBUCHET_FIRE COAL <- Fire Stone
SHIELDS <- Knigth Shields
-----------------------------------

Make yourself new porters:

    DisplayName = OBJECT:GondorPorterHeavyArmor
    BuildCost = GONDOR_HEAVYARMORPORTER_BUILDCOST
    BuildTime = GONDOR_HEAVYARMORPORTER_BUILDTIME
    Behavior = GrantUpgradeCreate ModuleTag_GrantUpdateCreate
        UpgradeToGrant = Upgrade_GondorHeavyArmor ;<- give it a valid upgrade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    End

    ; *** AUDIO Parameters ***; ;<- the unused good sounds we wanted hear in the game :P

I gave it a 2 but if you explain what you're editing then i will change my mind. I can use this code as the game does most of the work for you.

Please say what this tutorial is getting at!!!
it was confusing for me 2 figure out
so im guessing this lets you build a porter that can grant an upgrade on units???

Nice finding, although it´s not new to me, I believe it could help many people and I like to see those porters being used

But you could expand it a little more, think of every time the porter delivers an upgrade it costs a certain amount of money, or similar things, just for the sake of completeness :-)

Anyway, I´ll give you a 4 for this article
