custon capship spawning probs...

Sun May 30, 2004 10:52 am by Dark_Shadow2004

this is strange i can get the original houses to spawn capships like their is no tomorrow. the main problem i am having is i have so far made 2 new factions and added the capship information in the shiparch.ini, npcships.ini, faction_prop.ini...etc...etc....but once i add them to my system they DON'T SPWAN!!! grrrrrr...

here is a excerpt from my system ini....can anyone see a prob?

[Zone
nickname = Zone_BR07_pop_ambient_05
pos = -58660, 0, 412
rotate = 0, 0, 0
shape = SPHERE
size = 14853
sort = 51
toughness = 5
density = 31
repop_time = 25
max_battle_size = 15
damage = 0
spacedust = asteroiddust
spacedust_maxparticles = 0
interference = 0.000000
pop_type = Background
relief_time = 35
population_additive = True
faction_weight = reb_n_grp, 20
faction_weight = imp_n_grp, 20
encounter = capitalships_Empire, 19, 0.500000
faction = imp_n_grp, 1.000000
encounter = capitalships_Republic, 19, 0.500000
faction = reb_n_grp, 1.000000
[EncounterParameters
nickname = capitalships_Empire
filename = missions\encounters\capitalships_Empire.ini
[EncounterParameters
nickname = capitalships_Republic
filename = missions\encounters\capitalships_Republic.ini

Level 19 ships will never spawn in a level 5 zone.

hey neph, i saw that tiny little error and fixed it...but still no ships

any other ideas???

oh yeah, FYI this encounter set up is not like overwritten or changed ships of the original houses...trying to make a new capship fleet along with the original 4 house cap ship fleets...kinda like adding 2 new navies.

You'll have to check the ships in faction_props.ini and npc_ships.ini and make sure the encounter you created for the capships is correct. If you aren't crahsing the game its probably just an error with your capitalships_Republic encounter file or the faction doesn't have all of the ships used by the encounter defined for that faction in faction_props.

but the damn ships grapics are all glitchy so its no biggie just added a different cap ship graphic and it works great
