THANK YOU and a further question for the Gods

Thank you for the information on how to change costs. Now for a further question how can you remove or alter the Z key super cruise in the ship pack.

It is a super unbalance in the game

Thank You ahead of time ye gods of code

to make the "z" key kill the engines again instead of speeding you to 999 just remove the extra engine(s) it only happens when 2 or more engines are mounted on the ship.
look in the goods in for the ship hull and remove the addon line for the extra engine (or in that portion of the mod script).

it would give me great pleasure to pull bill gates brain out through his ass - and its not like youd have to stretch far to reach it from there

The thing you are looking for is this: (in engine_equip.ini)

[Engine
nickname=xw_engine_01<------whatever engine you are using
ids_name=460616
ids_info=460616
volume=0
mass=10
max_force=160000<---this number divided by ...
linear_drag=466<--- this equals standard speed ^^^^^
power_usage=0
reverse_fraction=-20<--- Std speed * this number * -1 = effect of Z key

in this example my X-Wing goes to 6866 (reads as 999) when i press Z.
you might try this:
reverse_fraction=0.2 ;<--- original number (if i remember correctly)
the result will be that you move backwards at 17 (in this example)
hope it helps you out...

Shadowrunner if you listen to dr del about the z key bug you will realize you are talking nonsence.

it is a problem if you have actually fitted 2(or more ) engines to different hardpoints.

the solution is to go into goods.ini and remove one of the
addon = sometype_of_engine_01, internal, 1 lines from the ship in question.

i.e
[Good
nickname = name_of_ship_package
category = ship
hull = ship_code_hull
addon = sometype_of_engine_01, internal, 1
addon = sometype_of_engine_01, internal, 1 <------------ remove this line
addon = co_elite2_power01, internal, 1.......etc........

now Shadowrunner then your info becomes valid as you have to change/make a new engine of increased powerso you can travel at the same speed as before (but the z key functions normally now as you only have one engine).

Ooops...
That should teach me not to post before my morning cup of coffe )
i just noticed the mention of a 'ship pack' , guess that is is where i took a wrong turn - sorry , what ship pack are we talking about here ?

The info i wrote earlier was focused on 'single engine ships', as i have yet to see any ships with more than one engine?? (maybe i just have to look harder )

with all that said i would like to thank all modders/users for the fantastic work everybody on TLR is doing for the freelancer community!!
