Making hulls/armor plating equipable

Is it possible to do this? If so, how can you allow FL to equip/unequip armor? How can you create different armor?

It's possible to equip and unequip armor upgrades

Yes but it doesn't answer the question of how to sell engines or powerplants or how to class engines like weapons. Anyone have any ideas?

(sorry for pulling up an old post, but this contained the subect I was looking for.)

Class engines like weapons - no you canont do this (i wish we could), but selling is simple. use same method as for selling a thruster - so make sure you have your engine_equip or misc_equip.ini entry (which is where my engines are) and your corresponding goods.ini file (ie - misc_goods.ini file), Then copy the name for your engine (nickname of goods entry) and paste it OVER the nickname of a thruster for sale in the market_misc.ini file instead.

Do same for anything else you wish to sell......

Well yes, I know how to do that, but when I try to sell the engine in my ship, It doesn't let me. That was my big question.

You cannot sell engines - as you have found out. Eject into space instead.

Ok, I am aware this is a bit of a grave-dig, but i really want to know something.
After you take-off with an engine equipped, how do you get rid of it.
I heard that you can jettison it, but it is mounted, so i had to go down to a planet to unmount it, so I went to a planet and unmounted it, but when i tried to take off so i could jettison it, it said i couldnt leave the planet without an engine. Is there a way to get round this and revert back to the engine that came with the ship when bought?

Also, is there some way i can make an engine come with a newly bought ship, that can be unmounted/mounted?

Post Wed Jan 04, 2006 3:25 pm

That's becuase you need two engines, one mounted and one unmounted, just like chips said you can not take off with your engine unmounted.
You can make new engines and have the base sell them, so you can have engines with new speeds.
Yes, engines already come with the ship, you need to do editing to make them show up in the game. That's on your part to figure out.

And what about Alcanders little addon that allows you to do just that? That allows you to buy and sell engines!

Post Sat Jan 07, 2006 6:24 am

if Alcanders edit of the engines and all the stuff is working like the disablement of the F1 key then i definitly wont use it

that file caused heavy bugs including a possibility to cheat... so no thx
