Need help for "info" edit

Hi !
I'd like to know if there's a tutorial on editing info that can be bought in bar's, cause I haven't found it for the moment !
If there's one, or if u know how to do, please tell me !

you can find out by opening up the mbases.ini - BUT DO NOT i say again DO NOT use biniq to read it as it cocks the file pu ( I spent thirty mins sorting mine back out in notepad........)but - in there:
rumor = base_0_rank, mission_end, 1, 131913
rumor = base_0_rank, mission_end, 1, 131914
rumor = base_0_rank, mission_end, 1, 131915
use your fled ids at this point to change whatcha see!! now, NO rude stuff

Is it really this easy ?
I spent time searching in mbase and dll and I hjaven't seen it !!!
I'm gonna try this now !

I tried what you told me but that doesn't match : for example, when i wanna see what ids correspond to into the dlls files, that's not it !
Is the id calculation key for the entry in dll different of the one for the objects ?

Please help !!!

Hmm - ids info 131913 gave me:

'We purchase most of our supplies like food, oxygen, pharmaceuticals and H-fuel from Los Angeles. Its a short run, but off the trade lanes, so it takes a while. Not too much risk from Rogues with these cargos'

You saying that it isn't a rumour? Or that you tried it and couldn't find it after wards?

131914 - I run the silver run from blah blah blah bla............ - the rogues attack so often, i don't even think much about it anymore.

I'll look into this in more detail for a while before going to bed - hehe

what way aint it working (I never done this before - but it looks very straight forward - liek 16100 - is a bribe for someone - he/she says
You could stand to have a better reputation with %F0v1, I could hack your record for %d0, that should clear things up, of course it will make you less popular......

So what isn't working etc - what exactly do you mean - which base, what numbers etc! Details not 'it aint working' - never solve a problem by 'it aint working' - and am not going to mod my files for a 'it aint working' LOL - Post up which, what, where, whom, etc etc - cause everything else seems this easy to me! Ie - changing characters names - dead easy.........lol

Hi !

I made a mistake when calculating the corresponding key, so don't take care of my last message . Sorry.

But what i'm really looking for is creating my propers info, you know, the style : "i'll upload all of the info on planet ...... for 4000 credits"
And i don't understand the meaning of it.

For the mistake, sorry, but i had problems with my pc and i didn't play or mod because of that problem, and i've had forgotten the whole ...

Good trip !

*light dawns in sleepy head* - Ohhh - you mean you want to make them say anything you want with correspoding bit (ie - like - for $20000 you can see a photo of Britney naked.......' and then rather than getting a lousy bribe you get what YOU want ......that was a bad example......lol
So you could make them get custom info AND actually get a custom bribe as well - like say 200k makes you neut with nomads..............
Gotcha, and don't know.
Best people for this sort of stuff..........hm - Giskard and probs Victor..maybe accushot as well.

I have one or two things to make it function properly, but that's in a good way !

Well in fact i aim to make information accordable only for a mod of mine :
in the stations i made, there are some usefull objects, but i don't want anyone to be capable of finding it, so my stations are hidden.
So if the player doesn't have a lot of money, he won't be able to find them.

Of course if he cheated his money, he'll be able to do it, and the same if he's capable of reading the .ini of the system. But if he's capable of doing that, then no matter he obtains what i offer to him.

Thanks for your help !

Ok i made my tests, and it's running fine !
I'm now able to make my proper infos sold on my proper bases !

Thanks again and, maybe, see you later !
