ok so this is it; its made easy

1.i suppose u already know how to extract the files and rename them.
extract shiparch.ini from \data\ships and market_ships.ini , goods.ini from your \data\equipment folder.

2.make a backup of your files
3.add to shiparch.ini

thats it.... the nomad battleship has no shields,u cant see it when u purchase it cause i think its too big,but if someone finds some errors i please him to reply.

now if u want u can add ur engines and weapons,dont forget to set the price in weapon_good.ini otherwise u wont have money to buy it..

hope u like this !!!!

can it dock with planets?

Mon Mar 17, 2003 2:35 am by Captain Ahab

When I did this and i went to Manhattan, i went to purchase the ship, there were no ships visible in the ship market and when i clicked to talk to the ship dealer, the purchase window thingy popped up then closed again so i can't purchase any ship.

Do you know what could be causing this?

Thanx

Mon Mar 17, 2003 3:00 am by X-Lancer

Maybe this:

in goods.ini he has:

[Good
nickname = my_nb_package
archetype = no_battleship ;<=== possible cause
category = ship
...

should be:

[Good
nickname = my_nb_package
archetype = my_nb_ship
category = ship
...

Ok, i'll try that.

Cheers

Mon Mar 17, 2003 3:48 pm by Captain Ahab

I think i know what you have done wrong.

For the Base goods, you have given Every ship -1

(*marketgood = my_nb_package, 0, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1*)

therefore making all of them unbuyable.

i dont know if this is what it is for sure, but gathering from the tutorials i have read i'm guessing thats the problem

Mon Mar 17, 2003 4:09 pm by SoulForge

there's nothing wrong;i just checked it and it works fine to me....
no line has to be changed....

did u delete the save games?
are u trying it on server?

did u insert correctly d data?

!Captain Ahab u are wrong
the marketgood is buyable : my_nb_package, 0, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
the market good is un-buyable : my_nb_package, 0, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1

there's lot more than only 1 or -1 to make it buyable or not; read carefully a tutorial in this forum

OK i firstly..

i used Bini to decompress the .ini files, i then copied the data from your posting and pasted it into the right .ini files (unless you have to overrite which i didn't do) I then deleted the uncompressed .ini files that i had just extracted (after making backups of course)

and now when i try to run Freelancer, it goes through all the movies as normal but once it has gotten to the freelancer title screen it then crashes to desktop.

Mon Mar 17, 2003 4:18 pm by SoulForge

give me ur email,ill send u the files so we see if it continues to bother; its pretty strange cause i tested it again 5 minutes ago

Mon Mar 17, 2003 4:21 pm by Captain Ahab

my email should be in my posts (theres a little button which says Mail to)

but i'll post it anyways

[email protected]

check ur mail

Mon Mar 17, 2003 4:39 pm by Captain Ahab

Hey thanx alot, it works
i dont know why it wasn't working before.

I'll have to go through the files you sent me and see where i went wrong.

THanx again for all your help

Cheers

Mon Mar 17, 2003 4:40 pm by SoulForge

any time!

Mon Mar 17, 2003 4:46 pm by Captain Ahab

I worked out why mine wasn't working.

When i extracted the .ini files they appear as just normal text files and i didn't change them back to appear as ini files

so it was XXXXXXX.ini.txt
