Adding a shipdealer to Norfolk Shipyard

Sun Jul 06, 2003 5:46 pm by TheJkWhoSaysNi

I'm trying to make Norfolk shipyard sell Battleships (Already got The Osiris/Liberty Cruiser/Liberty Dreadnought on manhatten so i just have to move them) It seems kind of tricky. I was surprised when i opened the li01_07_base.ini because it only contained Deck and Bar, yet by defauly norfolk shipyard has a Deck, Equipment dealer, bar and commodity dealer. I think this is why I cant add a ship dealer. Its very strange, anyone know where its getting its info from? thanks.

On many bases. all the rooms except the bar, are located at the deck. In the xxxxx_base.ini file, you'll see a line including a "virtual room" in it; that is where the equip dealer, trader and/or shipdealer are located; that's why there are not always separate files for those.

Where, the xxx_base.ini file? I'm guessing that would be Li01_base.ini for New York, but I cant find this file...

Norfolk is:

DATA\UNIVERSE\SYSTEMS\LI01\BASES\ROOMS\li01_07_deck.ini
DATA\UNIVERSE\SYSTEMS\LI01\BASES\ROOMS\li01_07_bar.ini

Then, go take a look in the tutorial forum, there's a thread there on adding shipdealers to bases that don't have them.

Just too late

Glad you got ot working now.

I meant the Norton base file, li01_07_base.ini. But I was wrong; you should look in the xx_xx_deck.ini file, in this case li01_07_deck.ini. There you see, e.g., the commodity dealer:

[Hotspot
name = IDS_HOTSPOT_COMMODITYTRADER_ROOM
behavior = VirtualRoom <-------------------------------------the VirtualRoom line
room_switch = Trader

Shipdealers are done the same way. A few tags lower in the same file, comes how this virtualroom is setup:

[Hotspot
name = IDS_DEALER_FRONT_DESK
behavior = FrontDesk
state_read = 1
state_send = 2
virtual_room = Trader

[Hotspot
name = IDS_HOTSPOT_COMMODITYTRADER
behavior = StartDealer
state_read = 2
state_send = 1
virtual_room = Trader

Now, search for a base wich does have a shipdealer in a virtualroom and paste-and-copy it to li01_07_deck.ini.
