Mess With the Best Die lIke the Rest

hi

im not actually trying to do anything to the titan i was only using it as an example - what was it you wanted to do to it?

head pilot of "drunken scotsmen in space - the rammy"

well u said it has 3 spots of engines right one of each wing right? well since u sid thsat i think have engiens there would be cool and was wondering if u could mod it for me

Mess With the Best Die lIke the Rest

just bought a titan realised it had 2 engine plumes and decided i may be talking out my ass on this point ;-(

i will look into it however and see what i can do
ill keep you posted if i discover anything .did you want extra engines for more speed or just the plumes for the looks - extra engines can make docking into a scene from a marx brothers movie by the way.


dr del


making an arse of himself as usual

ok,
i didnt manage to change the appearance of the titan - all plumes in the same place but i did manage to add another 2 engines .

this gives a top speed of 239 and 359 with thrusters,
it also makes hitting the "z" key speed you up to 999 (the original point of this post ;-(

the plumes thing on my ship may have bin a happy accident but maybe if we deleted the engine glow hardpoints on the titan it might work - not really sure.

the code i used to add the engines is pasted below (dont know if this forum corrupts the scripts or not though - if it does just email me and ill send you the xml)

this script should be added to your xml script in flmm and will change the engine package on all NEW titans - not the one your flying!!!

let me know if this helps,

*edit* yup it corrupts it - those square brackets should be closed. youve got mail dude. this might also help with your script in another thread . and yes it made docking a bit funny a couple of times - i even docked backwards once . just remove one of the engine lines if it gets to be annoying and you should go back to normal with a proportional drop in the speeds (appart from in "z" .*end of edit*
if anyone actually wants this lunatic speed thing it can be found here (the titan one) 1 kb!;

sorry dude dont use messengers,

ok first things first,

your script puts double entries into the ini for the 3 ships your trying to make buyable -the fact it did anything apart from make your game fall over is more by luck than judgement.
you do NOT just paste in lines of code you'd like to see.
to make this work you need to firstly set all the ships currently buyable on manhatten to not buyable, ie set gf2_package, lf_package and lfr_package to
-1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
once youve done that you can make the ships you want buyable DO NOT replace gf2 with bwf or anything like that just change the bwf line to read -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1 at the end.
Look at the code i put in the thread about your script problems and look for the REASON the code is written the way it is.it may help to have the original ini file open in wordpad (use bini from the downloads section of this site first drag the file on top of bini and release and it makes a text copy you can view in wordpad)
the reason the code only does one line at a time is because there are lines in between the ones your changing you dont need to change.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO MAKE BACK UP COPIES OF YOUR INI FILES BEFORE YOU START DOING THIS - JUST IN CASE!!

before you try this i think you need to go read all the tutorials again or look at the code other people have used in their mods and use it as a template

with a little dedication this stuff aint too hard to get a grip of - i had never replaced a ship before i tried to fix your code in the other thread (my mod just adds one ) but i looked at rapids code from the tie mod and worked out what he was doing then did the same

stick in there and you'll get a grip of it in no time

and i am reading you other thread dude and will answer there when i get time.

"when all else fails RTFM"
