*** Newbie Questions? Look no further! ***

History Buff, im going to assume you know how to use BINI etc., but if you dont see above. <b>Question 1 </b> The inter-faction relations are stored in DATA/MISSIONS/empathy.ini, so extract and open this file. The weird looking strings are codenames for each faction. Search for the string &quot;group = fc_c_grp&quot;(Corsairs) and look down their list until you find the line: empathy_rate = gd_im_grp, -0.300000 The number at the end is the relation to the faction, from 1(Very friendly) to -1(Severly pi**ed off), so change it to something like 0.8 Now do the same for the IMG, by searching for &quot;group = gd_im_grp&quot; and looking for the line refering to &quot;fc_c_grp&quot;. Change the number to something a little higher and youre done! <b>Question 2 </b> Open DATA/SHIPS/shiparch.ini and search for the string &quot;nickname = bh_elite2&quot; At the bottom of this section of text add the following two lines: hp_type = hp_gun_special_10, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02, HpWeapon03, HpWeapon04, HpWeapon05, HpWeapon06 hp_type = hp_turret_special_10, HpTurret01 This allows the Hammerhead to take Level ten guns in all its gun hardpoints and a level ten turret in its turret hardpoint. <b>Question 3 </b> To change the power capacity of a ship you have to extract and open DATA/EQUIPMENT/misc_equip.ini. Search for the codename of your ship and you should find a block of text looking like this, for example the Hammerhead is: [Power nickname = bh_elite2_power01 ids_name = 263719 ids_info = 264719 volume = 0.000000 mass = 10 DA_archetype = equipmentmodelshardwareli_fusion_reactor.3db material_library = equipmentmodelshardware.mat capacity = 7400 charge_rate = 750 thrust_capacity = 1000 thrust_charge_rate = 100 lootable = false Simply change &quot;capacity&quot; and &quot;charge_rate&quot; to higher numbers. <b>Question 4 </b> I posted a short tutorial on page 1 of this thread, take a look. I think thats everything - hope this helped!

ThomasInFlames: 1. To change infocards and other dll-related info you need FLEd-Ids, available in the downloads section, or Res-Hacker which you can get <A href=´http://rpi.net.au/~ajohnson/resourcehacker´ Target=_Blank>here</a> Using Fled-Ids simply find the number of the infocard you want to change in shiparch.ini and input it in the program under &quot;ids_info:&quot;. Press &quot;Get Ids Info&quot; and the prog will tell you what that infocard stands for. Change it to whatever you want and then click on &quot;Save Ids_info&quot;. To create new infocards you have to simply input an unused number in, for example 200000, and press &quot;Get Ids_info&quot; to make sure you are not overwriting anything. If its clear then just type the info into the box and click &quot;save ids_info&quot;. You can then use this number on shiparch.ini or wherever you want. NOTE: Dll editing will not work if FL is running.

Hey there, I am a total newbie at modding. I usually use pre made mods, but I´ve come to the point that I would really like to change one or two ships stats (specifically the cost of the ship, the cargo capacity, and the number of nanobots/shield batteries it can hold). I have read through quite a bit of the site, and I know I have to make changes in the shiparch.ini. Where else would I have to make changes (I don´t think that prices are included in the shiparch.ini, though I could be wrong) Anyway, any help is much appreciated, thank you! For those who die, die well. As for me, I´ll keep living!

<b>Cost of the ship: </b> DATA/EQUIPMENT/goods.ini Look for the name of your ship in two separate blocks of text: [Good nickname = coe2_hull category = shiphull ;&lt;--- This section, shiphull, basically just defines ship = co_elite2 ; the cost of the ship price = 658000 ids_name = 12017 item_icon = Equipmentmodelscommodities

I´m an absolute Mod newbie! I can´t edit anything without some kind of pointers... Here´s what i´d like to do: You know those Cargo Transports you see alot, mostly with escorts and get attacked alot? Well, i want to make them availible to fly. I´m a merchant in the game and i just can´t get enough money out of simple little freighters. I need something bigger. I don´t want to just change the Freighters cargo space to an idiotic size, but i want a transport that has lots of space, and is BIG and LONG! just like in game. In conclusion: How do i make the Crago Transports/Trains buyable and how do i put them on a specific planet/base? Thanks If you want my signature, come and Get It!!

Find the block of text under Li01_01_base and change this line: marketgood = gf2_package, 4, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1 to this: marketgood = my_ltrain_package, 4, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1 You have now created the large train and it is pilotable, but there are a couple of extra things to do to allow you to use it properly, for example allowing you to dock. <b>6.

In the same file, solararch.ini, do another search for &quot;docking_sphere = ring&quot; and change every occurance to &quot;docking_sphere = jump&quot;, for example: </b> docking_sphere = ring, HpDockMountA, 40, Sc_open dock a docking_sphere = ring, HpDockMountB, 40, Sc_open dock b becomes: docking_sphere = jump, HpDockMountA, 40, Sc_open dock a docking_sphere = jump, HpDockMountB, 40, Sc_open dock b <b>Finally, browse to DATA/SOLAR/DOCKABLE </b> and look for a file called &quot;docking_ringx2_lod.sur&quot; and rename it to something else, for example &quot;NOTdocking_ringx2_lod.sur&quot;. This will stop you colliding with the docking rings. Thats it! Hope this works, let me know if it doesnt though.

...................holy ****! Who knew that just enabling a damn train would be so damn long and hard! Thanks!. And i got one more question. With the closed braket things, say i got [ship, i have to add [ship ?

oh, and i think when you said if i wanted to change the price of the turret weapons, you meant Weapon.ini , not Good.ini

Ok, the Train works perfectly except for 2 problems: Minor Prob: When you go into crusie speed, the engines don´t get biggger to give that ´cruise´ effect. Major Problem: You can Moore on Planets/Space Stations/Bases ect, but when you do, it goes into cienimatic mode, and your stuck to the Moore structer* for ever. You can´t move, or drop off/get more commodities. And the NPC controlled Trains sometimes try to dock using the Ring, but they end up straying too far into the planet <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>....pretty funny! Anyway, it works, but just those 2 probs r there. Thanks for helping me. I have acutally made a mod! Woohoo! Thanks a million Acc If you want my signature, come and Get It!!

No probs Frako! Youre right about adding brackets onto &quot;[ship&quot; etc. To answer your major problem, when the docking sequence goes into cinematic mode press escape and you should skip the cinematic and end up in the base. Im workin on the minor problem, ill let you know if I figure it out.

Thi maybe a stupid qustion, bt were is the fiel which says wat theh npc ships hav like weaps etc.

Not really a stupid question - after I translated your post! The file you need is DATA/SHIPS/loadouts.ini

Hey Accu´o´shot, first I´d like to thank and honor you, that you share your wisdom and spend your time with answering newbie questions. Great job !! I´m editing a total re-balance of the ship stats, nations and weapons to make things more difficult and force ppl to more teamwork. So let´s see what you can tell about my probs : <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> How can you create : 1a) a cruise disruptor mine (simply copy a mine and change the warhead with the one of the cruise disruptor ?) 1b) a flare (copy a countermeasure and change what item to get an explosion as if you shoot a mine and make this explosion last longer ?) 2) is it possible to make turrets and cruise disruptors fire while you are <b>IN </b> cruise ? 3) can you make turrets fire multiple shots/missiles ? (dual/quad fire) 4) a &quot;silent mode&quot; : when using the kill engine, you stop and as long as you don´t speed up again, you are not seen on scanners, like cloaked but still visible 4b) or an ECM device: when activated, you disappear from scanners, but uses weapon energy 5) can you change the different efficiencies of the different weapon types against the different shield types ? 6) where can you edit the rewarding of the missions ? (wanna cut it down to strengthen trade and piracy) 7) is it possible to create new mission types : <i>escort </i> : ship A must reach location X, attacks as local usual, reward depends on distance <i>delivery service </i> : you get item A at location Y, now get it to location X and be rewarded, enemies of the client will hunt you. <i>scouting </i> : fly to location X, make a scan of different heavy guarded ships/ stations, when item A is discovered, fly home to get rewarded. <i>player hunting </i> : faction X wants PLAYER A to be killed (how to make a player to a mission target only when faction is hostile to player ??) If you could help me with these mods, or if you can tell that they´re not possible, you´re the greatest. Thx in forward Khan Goldi

Cheers Khan!! Even if I cant help you with all of them, ive gotta say these are some damn good ideas! To put most of your ideas into practise youll need to use the BINI uncompressor - whenever you have to modify a file <b>make sure it is uncompressed first. </b> See above for where to get it and how to use it. If you want to add new names for your new equipment etc. then youll have to use Fled-ids, again see above for details. <b>Important Note: In any text in this thread that you have to copy to a file make sure that you add a closing square bracket onto every header beginning with a &quot;[&quot;, because HTML cannot display them. For example, add a closing square bracket onto &quot;[Mine&quot; </b> Answers:

<b>2. Firing while cruising </b> As far as I know, this isnt possible <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. The only way is to start cruising then cut your engines.

<b>3. Making guns/turrets fire multiple shots </b> This can be done, but it only really works on missiles because laser turrets fire all their shots at the same spot and the different lasers sort of &quot;blend in&quot; with each other. As an example, heres how to make the Javelin missile launcher fire quad bursts of missiles: In DATA/EQUIPMENT/weapon_equip.ini, search the file for &quot;nickname = missile01_mark01_rtc&quot;. When you find it, look through the block of text for an entry called &quot;projectile_archetype = missile01_mark01_rtc_ammo&quot;. This tells FL that the Javelin launcher fires one Javelin missile every time you fire. Add three more lines under this, identical except for the name of the missile ammo which you should change slightly, for example: [Gun nickname = missile01_mark01_rtc ids_name = 263146 ids_info = 264146 DA_archetype = equipmentmodelsweaponsli_rad_launcher.cmp material_library = equipmentmodelsli_equip.mat HP_child = HPConnect hit_pts = 400 explosion_resistance = 1.000000 debris_type = debris_normal parent_impulse = 20 child_impulse = 80 volume = 0.000000 mass = 10 hp_gun_type = hp_gun_special_1 damage_per_fire = 0 power_usage = 0 refire_delay = 2 muzzle_velocity = 66.699997 toughness = 2.400000 projectile_archetype = missile01_mark01_rtc_ammo projectile_archetype = missile01_mark01_rtc_ammo2 ;&lt;-- Add projectile_archetype = missile01_mark01_rtc_ammo3 ;&lt;-- these projectile_archetype = missile01_mark01_rtc_ammo4 ;&lt;-- lines dry_fire_sound = fire_dry separation_explosion = sever_debris auto_turret = false turn_rate = 90 lootable = true LODranges = 0, 20, 60, 100 Now copy the block of text beginning &quot;nickname = missile01_mark01_rtc_ammo&quot; three times, each time renaming it to one of your new projective archetypes, like this: [Munition nickname = missile01_mark01_rtc_ammo2 explosion_arch = missile01_mark01_rtc_explosion loot_appearance = ammo_crate units_per_container = 10 hp_type = hp_gun requires_ammo = true hit_pts = 2 one_shot_sound = fire_missile_regular detonation_dist = 4 lifetime = 6.250000 Motor = missile01_mark01_rtc_motor force_gun_ori = false const_effect = li_missile02_drive HP_trail_parent = HPExhaust seeker = LOCK time_to_lock = 0 seeker_range = 1000 seeker_fov_deg = 35 max_angular_velocity = 2.903330 DA_archetype = equipmentmodelsweaponsli_rad_missile.3db material_library = equipmentmodelsli_equip.mat ids_name = 265146 ids_info = 266146 mass = 1 volume = 0.000000 [Munition nickname = missile01_mark01_rtc_ammo3 explosion_arch = missile01_mark01_rtc_explosion loot_appearance = ammo_crate units_per_container = 10 hp_type = hp_gun requires_ammo = true hit_pts = 2 one_shot_sound = fire_missile_regular detonation_dist = 4 lifetime = 6.250000 Motor = missile01_mark01_rtc_motor force_gun_ori = false const_effect = li_missile02_drive HP_trail_parent = HPExhaust seeker = LOCK time_to_lock = 0 seeker_range = 1000 seeker_fov_deg = 35 max_angular_velocity = 2.903330 DA_archetype = equipmentmodelsweaponsli_rad_missile.3db material_library = equipmentmodelsli_equip.mat ids_name = 265146 ids_info = 266146 mass = 1 volume = 0.000000 [Munition nickname = missile01_mark01_rtc_ammo4 explosion_arch = missile01_mark01_rtc_explosion loot_appearance = ammo_crate units_per_container = 10 hp_type = hp_gun requires_ammo = true hit_pts = 2 one_shot_sound = fire_missile_regular detonation_dist = 4 lifetime = 6.250000 Motor = missile01_mark01_rtc_motor force_gun_ori = false const_effect = li_missile02_drive HP_trail_parent = HPExhaust seeker = LOCK time_to_lock = 0 seeker_range = 1000 seeker_fov_deg = 35 max_angular_velocity = 2.903330 DA_archetype = equipmentmodelsweaponsli_rad_missile.3db material_library = equipmentmodelsli_equip.mat ids_name = 265146 ids_info = 266146 mass = 1 volume = 0.000000 Now, if you change values such as lifetime, time_to_lock and max_angular_velocity etc. your missiles should separate when you fire, giving you a cool quad missile launcher!

<b>4. ECM Device </b> Cant really help with this one, your best bet is to try the &quot;Cloaking Revealed&quot; tutorial to create a cloaking device. Im trying to make this work though because its a great idea, so ill post again if I figure it out.
