if u want to make this gunboat sellable,look in the forum there's already a tutorial for a gunboat; then search in shiparch.ini probably its something like br_gunboat

u can find the ships in the same file

little more help would be nice

the only tutorials I can see is for the big ass battle cruisers ships and freighters. Perhaps somebody could point me in the right direction?

this is what I found in shiparch:

I presume I have to do something in market_ships.ini to make them available?

docking in this thing is pain in the butt. you get stuck all the time because of those enormous guns.

Planet only dealie then?
I'd still love to fly her though lol, perhaps mooring could be fixed up so you can take her into a shipyard.

X-Lancer,

got the ini files so I can have a look see?

not really. I just copy-pasted the stuff you posted above and made the ship sellable to test the docking ability. That's all. I didn't make it "playable" in a manner of speaking. Docked with RIPPONGI (sp?) station and got stuck in the animation sequence.

Personally, I think that a ship that can't dock is worthless.

This is true in some aspects but there are some ships that dont dock at all. Just pretend we all board them using a transporter

now theres an idea...

If you want I can work out the ini and make this one available so you can test for yourself. If so, tell me where do you want her to be sold?

Just manhatten to make it easy. I can make a new char to test with then.

thanks a trillion for this if you do, I can then scour over the areas you edited and start some learnin'



btw i'm in #freelancers on efnet

That ship is named after the river in my home town of Swansea, the river Tawe, the Welsh name for Swansea being 'Abertawe' or 'mouth of the river tawe'.

Nice to see a game with some Welsh place names in it!

4. in cockpits\liberty create an in file with notepad called brg.ini

make sure it contains this :

int_brightness = 0.500000
head_turn = 30, 10


[CockpitCamera

tether = 0.000000, 40, 150
yaw_rotate_speed = 2.000000
pitch_rotate_speed = 1.500000
accel_speed = 5


thats it,i did it fast cause i dont have much time now. i didnt put the weapons...and u have to buy the shield....

have fun

I rest my case

found this in my goods.ini, anybody knows what that is?
