Mission 6

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Mission 6

In mission 6, when i race Dexter Hovis, he explodes!!
I guess he is hitting a ring, i would like to know how to make his ship "invincible",
so he doesn't explode

Question did you mod the cruise speed?

If so just turn it back to normal speed.

Now to the question.

In Freelancer\Data\Ships\loadouts.ini

Look for this

[Loadout
nickname = MSN06_Dexter
archetype = bw_fighter
equip = ge_bwf_engine_01
equip = npc_shield01_mark02, HpShield01
equip = infinite_power
equip = ge_s_scanner_02
equip = ge_s_tractor_01
equip = ge_s_thruster_02, HpThruster01
equip = gd_z_gun01_mark01, HpWeapon01
equip = gd_z_gun01_mark01, HpWeapon02
equip = missile02_mark02, HpWeapon03
cargo = missile02_mark02_ammo, 20
equip = missile02_mark02, HpWeapon04
equip = gd_z_turret01_mark01, HpTurret01
equip = mine01_mark01, HpMine01
cargo = mine01_mark01_ammo, 5
equip = ge_s_cm_01, HpCM01
cargo = ge_s_cm_01_ammo, 20
equip = LargeWhiteSpecial, HpHeadlight
equip = SlowSmallWhite, HpRunningLight01
equip = SlowSmallWhite, HpRunningLight02
equip = SlowSmallWhite, HpRunningLight03
equip = SlowSmallWhite, HpRunningLight04
equip = SlowSmallWhite, HpRunningLight05
equip = SlowSmallWhite, HpRunningLight08
equip = contrail01, HpContrail01
equip = contrail01, HpContrail02
equip = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight01
equip = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight02

Now add this to his loadout.
equip = armor_scale_21

So it will look like this when done

[Loadout
nickname = MSN06_Dexter
archetype = bw_fighter
equip = ge_bwf_engine_01
equip = npc_shield01_mark09, HpShield01 <-------------------Notice the Shield Upgraded to a mark09.
equip = infinite_power
equip = armor_scale_21 <-------------------Notice the Armor added.
equip = ge_s_scanner_02
equip = ge_s_tractor_01
equip = ge_s_thruster_02, HpThruster01
equip = gd_z_gun01_mark01, HpWeapon01
equip = gd_z_gun01_mark01, HpWeapon02
equip = missile02_mark02, HpWeapon03
cargo = missile02_mark02_ammo, 20
equip = missile02_mark02, HpWeapon04
equip = gd_z_turret01_mark01, HpTurret01
equip = mine01_mark01, HpMine01
cargo = mine01_mark01_ammo, 5
equip = ge_s_cm_01, HpCM01
cargo = ge_s_cm_01_ammo, 20
equip = LargeWhiteSpecial, HpHeadlight
equip = SlowSmallWhite, HpRunningLight01
equip = SlowSmallWhite, HpRunningLight02
equip = SlowSmallWhite, HpRunningLight03
equip = SlowSmallWhite, HpRunningLight04
equip = SlowSmallWhite, HpRunningLight05
equip = SlowSmallWhite, HpRunningLight08
equip = contrail01, HpContrail01
equip = contrail01, HpContrail02
equip = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight01
equip = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight02


Now go fly aginst him and he will live.


“SISU”
(Pronounced: siss-sue)
(Meaning)
Guts, Tenacity, Steadfastness, Courage, and an Indomitable will to Succeed, and Survive.

yep, I use the TNG Mod, and it's !@#$%¨& anti-cheat doesnt let me fix that,
there's some other way??

Post Mon Oct 29, 2007 12:54 pm

This is a known problem with TNG, I can't remember if there's a fix for it or not.

You'll find that a lot of the bigger mods are all the same, they were built more for MP than SP, and because of this the story doesn't work with most of them.

Post Mon Oct 29, 2007 1:55 pm

Yep...most "big" mods will screw up the single player game.

Some people just plain simply don't want you to play anywhere else
but only on their server and only with their mod.
They often go to pain staking details to insure
people don't screw around with "their" mod.

Your experience with Dexter Hovis and your inability to
change it is one of them.

Post Mon Oct 29, 2007 2:27 pm

Ok, so I will continue praying for him(sometimes works) and wait for version 3.0(they said they'll fix it on this version)

Thanks anyways

Post Mon Oct 29, 2007 3:00 pm

Don't hold your breath, talk of TNG v3.0 has been ongoing for a couple of years, Reynen has had a lot of other things on his mind of late, so expect v3.0 when you see it.

"Anti-cheat”

There is a way around that but I am not going to be the one to tell it is there for a purpose.

Just wait for version 3 and make sure you keep the Dev's aware of this problem. I don’t know how many modders work on TNG, but if it is just one I can understand how something like this can slip past you and while in the middle of adding new things little things like this can be forgotten so a reminder every once in awhile helps when there are little problems like this that come up.

I know as a player this is a huge problem, so what I mean by small problem is because the fix is very simple for the modder as I pointed out above.

It's ok, he didn't exploded last time so i won, and also won mission 7,8,9,0,10,11,12 and 13!!!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Actually, I use to think Hovis would probably die since he ratted Quintaine
out to Trent..so Q's men killed him. But, that's after the fact though.
