  • Spam - have to admit that i haven´t personally tried it yet myself - i just knew what was in it after looking through every ini file i could for months, and realised what the heck it was about etc etc. Therefore - i haven´t actually tried it out yet - but i will do when i get a spare moment or two!

  • I am an idiot and i dont have a clue what to do in anything but i really want to be able to make mods for basic things like a new planet/station or just some kind of introduction about anything to get me started. Someone Help!!! From -Trail- Davi671@aol.com

  • Hey its me again Is there any way of making a "team" (i think you call it a faction?) I.e. corsairs, Xenos, LSF? and if there is can you give them a home base a system and jump gates some computer ships and make them have allies and enimies? if you can i dont have a clue how to do any of this because i am an idiot i just wondered if you can? thanks From -Trail- Davi671@aol.com

  • go to http://www.lancersreactor.org/…ancer+Editing&M=False to answer your station question Chips I think something is wrong with my ini editor when I edit initial world with it even if I make no changes it´s size goes up 14 k and it no longer works

  • Hmm - i know of no corruption in intialworld.ini file when decoded at all - i suggest that when you open it, you have it ´in´ the window with all the text of the file. At this point, make sure initialworld.ini is highlighted (selected still) in the middle window (if using BiniQDU that is)and then delete it. At that point, make the changes then save it as initialworld.ini Sometimes the darned thing doesn´t actually save the latest changes, so retaining the old settings. This especially happens when deleting something in the files. As for the size going up........ - erm - mine is at 72kb so i am not sure really - as that is awfully high. I will loook into it, but needless to say i am not moddin much anymore..........and answering questions alot slower too.

  • In the Newcharicter.ini file can you shange the starting ship/credits/station by adding/editing, other ships, changing the station ie Li01_01 ---> to Li01_03 to make you start on The battleship Misouri? can you do this or is it harder? Thanks -Trail- Davi671@aol.com

  • ok, i want to create a new item. A Thruster to be precise, how do i go about this? so far i have done this (this is for FLMM - Needs to be tbh) : &lt;data file=&quot;dataequipmentst_equip.ini&quot; method=&quot;append&quot;&gt; &lt;source&gt; [Thruster nickname = i_thruster_01 ids_name = 263740 ids_info = 264740 DA_archetype = equipmentmodelsstku_thruster.3db material_library = equipmentmodelsku_equip.mat HP_child = HpConnect hit_pts = 8000 explosion_resistance = 0.500000 debris_type = debris_normal parent_impulse = 20 child_impulse = 80 volume = 0.000000 mass = 10 max_force = 72000 particles = gf_ge_s_thruster_01 hp_particles = hpthrust power_usage = 100 lootable = true separation_explosion = sever_debris LODranges = 0, 20 &lt;/source&gt; Now all i have done is copy the info of another thruster from st_equip and changed the power_usage and nickname. How do i make it have a new name ´ingame´. Also, could you link to a run through of how to set where it is sold?

  • I would also like to know how I would go about changing the price and location the eagle is sold. How do I do this? I don´t care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members.

  • hi chip... how´s your mod doing, my ships are almost ready. just need to create a base for them for an easy upgrade. And of course it is all scripted, for compatibility reasons on any mods. Do you still want the ships...

  • Hey Chips! Happy B-day. Sorry a little late, <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> How do you make weapons so they will not move. Accu(&gt;o&lt<img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>shot kind of covered about making a new weapon hardpoint but I did not under stand! I´m pretty sure it has something to do with the axis and min and max. Just not sure about what to put in them. Also is it possible to make parts of ships and import them into the game and be able to combine all the parts and have them act as one whole ship? _____________________________ Experience is the worst teacher!

  • Excuse me for stating this kind of question again, but How Do You Add New Hardpoints on a Previously Existing Ship? The Hardpoints that exist have already been used and I don´t know what to do. So far I know of two ways, both of which I can´t figure out: 1. Load it on Milkshape and add the points manually by editting the ship itself; (can´t do it because the ships has too much vertices, and complicated) 2. Use UTC or UTF whatever. I know where exactly to find the points that already exist. I know how to add it. But I can´t rename or place the hardpoints onto the ship. Any ideas? Also, how do you edit costumes? Like, change the appearance of the clothes various characters are wearing. (i.e. Juni, Tobias, Trent) Any help would be very appreciated. : )

  • Ok people, kick me if I missed it, but is it possible to mount non-weapon effects on weapons? I keep reading stuff about people mounting the &quot;dyson city beam&quot; and it has made me curious about how it is done. &quot;I find your lack of faith disturbing&quot;

    Yes, I found them. They were on display at the bottom of a locked filing cabinet, stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door that said `Beware of the Leopard` - Arthur Dent, Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy

  • just got the fx directory and create those effects. hehehe Are you feeling lonely<img src=smilies/icon_smile_question.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle><img src=smilies/icon_smile_question.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle><img src=smilies/icon_smile_question.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> or just plain horny<img src=smilies/icon_smile_question.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle><img src=smilies/icon_smile_question.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle><img src=smilies/icon_smile_question.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> then <A href=´http://´ Target=_Blank>Click Here!!!</a> and you´ll have lots of fun...

  • Firebase, I´m talking about using existing effects (such as the afforementioned Beam, or black hole effects etc.) as weapon effects. Thanks &quot;I find your lack of faith disturbing&quot;

  • You can edit peoples costumes by opening up the missions ini´s and changing costumes.
