Display of internal equipment.

polarbear · May 3rd 2011

I'm searching for some plugin that will allow to display internal equipment (like Scanners) with a model, like a shield for example.

Does anybody have some plugin or other way to do it?

Thanks ahead!

Not sure what you mean, but you can display scanners and tractors beams as equipment by adding them to misc_goods.ini file.

You didn't read the whole post, eh? I clearly said "with a model", but if you didn't understand: I meant a plugin to add a DA_archetype entry to them.

But as they're internal, why should they be displayed by a model? I don't see the point

Same thinking here.

I can see the point if you were making them on the side of the ship. Just an idea I bounced around...

I want to use the pilot model as a scanner for a "co-pilot" item. I want it to be a required item to launch, thats why I don't use a shield or a cargo pod type.

Nice idea, would the co-pilot be visible in space?

you could also import the ship into ms3d and import the pilot model, put it to the correct location and export everything again no elegant solution but working

You can also just place multiple HpPilot hardpoints afaik. E.g. the Monkey Freighter from the Monkey Universe mod uses 3 of them

I already tried multiple HpPilots. You can see an example in CSV that this doesn't work with Freelancer. Monkey Universe probably uses some offset.

But its not the only thing I want, I also want to do as Alfa said, but not on the side - I want it on the top.
