I'm sure I've seen something referring to intro files in the Editing threads.

S

I've put an answer to your other question as well.

Are you wishing to add new thigns to be flying round in the intro's? There is one person who definately has teh edge on this one - Bob from Starfyre. he wrote a tutorial about thn editing - and it should be in the tutorials forum - however, i am not sure where BUT - I know that Lord Fjord has added to this with his own methods - and he is very very proficient at modding. You can check his site out here - you will find ALOT more than just that tutorial:
Lord Fjords Forums with some great tutorials!

He has links in it to the original if i remember rightly

About the dyson city. I am not sure - it could be that the lifetime of the effects needs to be stipulated, or increased, as they might be down for only 5 second time limit. Will have a quick butchers around for ya

I have come to the conclusion that if you give the city some generators it might help - as it might be a power problem..........but i aint sure

Try giving it the platforms for it as well - with their loadouts which include teh shield gens etc. I think you will then have it lasting longer (as mine has no problems). You can find them in the system file for that system. Its probs a lack of power to be honest - or that is the best guess (seeing as you haven't posted up what you have in the ini files at all).

Here is a slight hint for you from the mission 13.ini file. You CANNOT just paste these into your files though - it needs "refining"
[MsnSolar
nickname = dyson_generator1
string_id = 10916
faction = fc_n_grp
system = St03
position = 1000, -150, 1000
archetype = dyson_generator
loadout = dyson_generator
label = generator
radius = 0

[MsnSolar
nickname = dyson_generator2
string_id = 10916
faction = fc_n_grp
system = St03
position = -1000, -150, 1000
archetype = dyson_generator
loadout = dyson_generator
label = generator
radius = 0

[MsnSolar
nickname = dyson_generator3
string_id = 10916
faction = fc_n_grp
system = St03
position = 1000, -150, -1000
archetype = dyson_generator
loadout = dyson_generator
label = generator
radius = 0

[MsnSolar
nickname = dyson_generator4
string_id = 10916
faction = fc_n_grp
system = St03
position = -1000, -150, -1000
archetype = dyson_generator
loadout = dyson_generator
label = generator
radius = 0

Note - remove label, change faction = to reputation =, give it a pilot line, make string_id into ids info/name whatever (you don't actually need any ids stuff- but it will appear labled as IDS?. Remove the system line, and then the radius. Give it a behaviour.......ack - sod it, here is a platform - make it look like the platform but with its loadouts and archetype

[Object
nickname = St02_lair_platform09
ids_name = 10903
pos = -1723, 325, -1655
Archetype = lair_platform
ids_info = 10904
pilot = pilot_solar_hardest
loadout = lair_platform02
reputation = fc_n_grp
behavior = NOTHING
visit = 0


Have fun - as that should get ya working

Thanks Steve and Chips i posted the embarrassing solution for my Dyson city problems on the other link.
