looking for a certain ini file

Sheez I must be driving you ppl mental with all of my questions but I have another one. I have created a mod that will simply change the starting ships in the game to the three VHFs. I wanted to lower the price of them but I can't find the file that has the prices in it. Some help please

The ini file you need is "Goods.ini". First you need to find the package of the ship your looking for, and in its entry there will be a line with:

hull = ???

then find the entry for this hull in the SAME file, and its entry will bwe the price.

After I did this and I put the mod together. It had a problem with my script trying to edit market_ships.ini. It said it couldn't find the section. Here is wut I put on that segment of my mod.
<data file="DATA\EQUIPMENT\market_ships.ini" method="sectionreplace">
<section>
[BaseGood
base = Li01_01_base
</section>
It says it cannot find that section I have looked through the file and found the section easily.

Yes - this happens alot suddenly. Go to the section in your script, and go to the end of each line for the [section} and line below. At the end, press delete so that the line below moves up to be directly behind that section, then press enter. Now do the same for the part below it, at the end of the line press delete till the </section> tag nestles right behind it. Now press enter again. Save and see if that works

I too have the same probs. It is weird that just a space or something goes wrong. However, it gets more alarming. it seems that once you have it active, if you have more than one section tag in that data part then it doesn't do any of them at all (as in replaceing under multiple sections). To make matters worse, if you have more than one section replace in a script - well, it seems to get picky and not actually do them either.............sometimes.

That is after the sorting of the probs your having right now. Cause at that point it activates to find out what i have described above! lol

And that is once you have spent alot of time modding things. Well - IGx is looking into several probs - like the fact that filereplace and sectiondelete don't even work full stop. Now sectionreplace is going on the blinkers too......
