PLEASE HELP ME!!

Ok, I can unpack the files in FL just fine and edit them correctly. What I can't do is change the edited files back to configuration settings so they will work in the game. Can someone please help?

Use BiniQDU v1.1.This will let you make changes and it will save them directly in edited configuration file.Click here

May strong survive and weak perish

surely you can just copy the settings from an existing one but change the variables you want to change (in your case thruster drain and thruster speed) and then give it a new name, wont that work? forgive me if im wrong as i know nuthing about modding....

Is there anyone that can tell me how to make a thruster do this or not?

Post Sun Apr 27, 2003 4:32 pm

you could try my own personal thruster.

market misc.ini

MarketGood = ken_thruster_04, 1, -1, 10, 10, 0, 1

st_equip.ini

[Thruster
nickname = ken_thruster_04
ids_name = 263740
ids_info = 264740
DA_archetype = equipment\models\st\ku_thruster.3db
material_library = equipment\models\ku_equip.mat
HP_child = HpConnect
hit_pts = 8000
explosion_resistance = 0.500000
debris_type = debris_normal
parent_impulse = 50
child_impulse = 90

max_force = 99990

lootable = true
separation_explosion = sever_debris

st_good.ini


[Good

"max_force = " gives the speed of the thruster
speed x 600 = value to enter
ex:
to fly with a speed of 300 (220 thruster + 80 normal engine speed)
220 x 600 = 132000

and power usage is, well, "power_usage"

Thanks dude that's just what I was looking for.

Post Mon Apr 28, 2003 2:07 am

do thrusters add to the engine force?

just wanted to know

Post Mon Apr 28, 2003 2:48 am

Yep, that's why if you set your speed to 0 and fire your afterburniner you only go about 120.
