Searching a moder!

Hi moders out there.

I need your help! I'm plying on an internet server (JoJoDice Server ->www.jojodice.pt.to) and we have a trade faction there. This faction is a special one because they only fly with Drone's. But as you know the Drone can only keep 175 crago and fo a trader this is to less. So I ask you moders: Can you please create a mod that alters some stats of the Drone? Only like making more cargo or changing some weapons. I think for a good moder this work can be done in the afternoon. I tried moding too but I'm so stupid I don't get it with moding. Sorry folks but thats to high for me. I would be great if there is a volunteer to make this little mod. Please help me and the guys who play on the server.

With greets KalleFreshman

Very fast man!
I want to keep the Drone and you shell create a new Drone with some good stats.
Stats like this:
Cargo space: 1000
Shield Class: 8
Weapon class(guns): 7 till 8
Weapon class(turrets): 7 till 8
Bats/Bots: I think 50 is a good number

Well I think thats all. Oh and one more point: I want that you can only buy the "new" Drone at Omicron Minor or Prison Station Mitchel (Alaska). Well thats it.
You know this is for a server and only the people of the faction should get the freighter. That's why it shell be buyable in Alaska. So the admin uses a comand and send the guy to alaska, he buys the drone and admin will send him back to normal space.

So whats up now kendo? I thought you are my helping hand.

Take this link. If you have rather improved Drone, fly to Kansai and buy the thing named Kusari Bomber. I hope 4 torpedo launchers are enough...

The link doesn't work. I need a Drone with the stats I wrote above.

That should do ya. Just paste this into your Shiparch.ini (which you open with notepad like any other text document). If all you see when you open it is gobbledegook, symbols and such that you don't recognize, then just get BINI. It's a program that you can find on this website, and it decrypts the .ini file so you can read it. Basically, you just drag the .ini file you want to decrypt to the icon for BINI and let it go over it. The rest is automatic, as it creates a new file called thefile.ini.txt where 'thefile' is whatever the name of it was before. Just change the end of it from .ini.txt to just .ini and you're in business. It's really not all as complicated as I just made it sound, and if you need more help, just email me and I'll send you the file.

Oh man a huge thanks to you!!!
And this is the new drone right? I can also buy the old and the new one?
And is here already set that the new drone is buyable at a base in omicron minor or in alaska (prison station mitchel)?
Again: thanks a lot.

PS: Do you have ICQ? Would be a pleasure for me to have your number and on the other hand you can help me if there are any problems!

So this is someone else's server? Make sure you don't get booted for cheating.

Post Sat Sep 06, 2003 10:06 pm

Err... no, this isn't a separate drone. This simply if you wanted to modify the existing one. You could always jack the price on it to make up for it being much better, but that's a whole nother can of worms. I could show you how, but uh, well... I hope this works for you.

Post Sat Sep 06, 2003 10:22 pm

Thanks for your help but it's important that I have a seperate one.
Can you help me on this point too? And I'm searching this mod/moder on behalf of the server admins so I wouldn't get kicked. Please help me on the point of making a seperate on too. Please! I know you know how it works, too.
And can you make it that I can buy the new Drone at Takagi's Base in the Tohoku system?

@Imagine What was this for?

To moder: Tell me can this be done? Well I think it shouldn't be impossible for skilled moders.

I'm searching this mod/moder on behalf of the server admins so I wouldn't get kicked

My guess is that you need to contact the server admin first. Having the ship clientside-only and not serverside is cheating. Letting no one else but your group access it is also cheating.

Post Mon Sep 08, 2003 7:17 pm

Everything is completely discussed with the admins. Believe me its true. Admins will allow this mod.

It makes me sad that nobody can mod this for me, but well I can't demand this from you. But anyways if somebody is inclined to do this for me I will thank him (and reward him as I can).
