Adding the Anubis'' engines to any old ship..?

Fri Apr 04, 2003 9:55 pm by Cobras2

Hey, just wondering, I can't seem to find a search option in here, so I'm posting this - does anyone know how to change the engine effects to make another ship (for example, let's just take the hammerhead) intot he same effect as the anubis' engines? I mean.. when the bounty hunters fly the hammerhead, it has a red flame behind it. When I fly it, it has a white flame behind it.
I feel so rejected

I tried messing around with the settings in engine_equip, but I couldn't figure it out.. if anyone could point me to another thread with any info, or post some quick notes on it, I'd be grateful..?

there is a line in engine_equip

[Engine
nickname = ge_lfr_engine_01
ids_name = 263689
ids_info = 264689
volume = 0.000000
mass = 10
max_force = 68000
linear_drag = 599
power_usage = 0
reverse_fraction = 1.00000
flame_effect = gf_li_smallengine03_fire
trail_effect = gf_li_smallengine03_trail
change it to
[flame_effect = gf_rh_smallengine03_fire
[trail_effect = gf_rh_smallengine03_trail
cruise_disrupt_effect = gf_li_cruisedisruption
trail_effect_player = gf_li_smallengine03_playtrail
cruise_charge_time = 0.001
cruise_power_usage = 0
character_start_sound = engine_li_freighter_start
character_loop_sound = engine_li_freighter_loop
character_pitch_range = -50, 25
rumble_sound = rumble_freighter
rumble_atten_range = -5, 0
rumble_pitch_range = -25, 25
engine_kill_sound = engine_li_freighter_kill
cruise_start_sound = engine_li_cruise_start
cruise_loop_sound = engine_li_cruise_loop
cruise_stop_sound = engine_li_cruise_stop
cruise_disrupt_sound = cruise_disrupt
cruise_backfire_sound = cruise_backfire
indestructible = false
outside_cone_attenuation = -3
inside_sound_cone = 60
outside_sound_cone = 180

and your rhino will have rheinland engines exept in cruise.

thanx for the info - but i found out you don't even need to do that, actually, all you have to do is,
in equipment/goods.ini
find the package for the ship u want (for eagle it would be gf6_package)
then replace the line:

addon = ge_gf6_engine_01, internal, 1

with:

addon = ge_oe_engine_01, internal, 1

and it should work

Yes, except in order for that to work, you have to purchase a new ship - since that list only takes effect at purchase time.

yes.. i discovered that.. but it's worth it, for what you get

besides.. I'm filthy rich now cause I added the "small transport" to the buyable, flyable ships in manhattan, with a cargo hold of 10,000, and shipped engine components from Deshima(Shi***u) to Denver(Colorado) - we each have 8 million dollars now after about 6 trips.. only question is what to spend it on
