Mounting/Dismounting a Cloaking Device

polarbear · Jan 5th 2014

I tried to make the cloaking device a good, just like weapons. It appeared in the market, but my problem is that it's not mountable/dismountable. You can sell it, and it will stop working, but thst's not what I need.

I need a way to make it mountable by clicking, so that the player can buy/loot it and then mount it. Is there a way to do it?

have you definied a hp type that fits to the ship?

Do I simply add "hp_type = hp_cloak" to the [CloakingDevice] entry? because it doesn't seem to work..

no, you cant use a custom hp type
you have to use one that already exists in the game

Well, that sucks... But what the heck, as long as it works. Thanks

I don't really know if I have well understood your wish but:

It seems the only way to mount a cloak device is to declare it as a Countermeasure Dropper, but for make it to work you have to patch common.dll (a big thanks to Adoxa):

Offset (in hex): 139B74

change 905332 to 50DB26

Another patch is possible to use the cloak as internal equipment but it apparently never worked.

I hope this helps

I remember a mod by w0dk4 that made the cloak work. But to use it in SP you needed to use singleplayer commands too or you would be always cloaked
