Help! Something''s wrong with my modded ship...

Thu Oct 30, 2003 3:26 am by Mental Corrosion

I am modding a new ship to use for SP. I downloaded the Antaeus, but am disatsisfied with its firepower...so I decided to modify it:

- I lowered the price to 1000

- I placed it for sale on planet manhattan;
- I modified some stats (i.e. speed, cargo, max shield batteries, etc.)
- I modified the Liberty Vengenance Mk I Weapon and placed it for sale on Manhattan for lowered price to use with the antaeus
- I modified my original starting money to 30000

Then I tried to play. I started normal SP, and got the Starflier from Juni. Then I went to ship dealer and brought my antaeus. SURPRISE! The Antaeus came with nothing whatsoever. Nothing. It had nothing at all, not even an engine. Fine, then I go to equipment dealer. I try to buy the Vengenace, but it says I have no hardpoint for it - even though my ship should be able to accomodate lvl 10 weapons, and I wasn't carrying anything. (my ship should carry lvl 10 and lvl. 9 weapons). I tried it several times, with no luck - what am I doign wrong? Did I leave out something?

Please, please, pleease help! : ( It would be much appreciated...

if its in FLmod format, send it to me, heck, even if its not, send me the files to my e-mail and i will see if i can figure it out.

The problem with having no gear comes from the goods.ini

I think if you check the shiparch section for the ship that it has a special type of hardpoint instead of the usual hp_weapon hardpoints. You might have to further modify your guns to allow mounting on this type of hardpoint

Hope this helps

What level is the gun you are trying to mount? From memory the unmodded version is level 1. Your ship can't carry level 1 weapons, only level 9 + 10.

try making it like this:

hp_type = hp_gun_special_10, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02
hp_type = hp_gun_special_9, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02
hp_type = hp_gun_special_8, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02
hp_type = hp_gun_special_7, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02
hp_type = hp_gun_special_6, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02
hp_type = hp_gun_special_5, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02
hp_type = hp_gun_special_4, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02
hp_type = hp_gun_special_3, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02
hp_type = hp_gun_special_2, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02
hp_type = hp_gun_special_1, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02

it will carry all level of weps....

Thank you Thank you Thank you! I can now mount the gun.

Also, the ship refuses to show itself on the landing pad or the equipment room. Why is this?

And, as a side note, how to you add hardpoints?

Thank you for all your help.
