arg, no - its the charaters folder, the newcharacter.ini file instead. The mpnewplayer.fl file just CALLS for the information in the ini file. hence all those %% marks etc. Change all this in the character.ini file - where its ALOT more obvious as to what to change etc.
Put it this way, here is the newcharacter.ini entry:
[Pilot
nickname = trent
body = trent
comm = trent
voice = trent_voice
body.anim = Sc_MLBODY_STND_000LV_A_31
thumb = interface\intro\objects\MULTI_blackdragonmale.3db
comm.anim = Sc_comm_body_unfold_female, Sc_headCOM
[Package
nickname = ge_fighter
strid_name = 11051
strid_desc = 11551
ship = ge_fighter
loadout = msn_playerloadout
money = 2000
[Faction
nickname = new_player
rep_group = co_ic_grp
base = Li01_01_Base
Package = ge_fighter
Pilot = trent
I think you will agree that its pretty straight forward there....
Money line = erm, the money
Base line is the starting base
In the package file is not only starting money, but the ship and loadout from the loadouts.ini file for it as well.
NOW contrast that to the mpnewplayer.fl file to work out which is easier to read/change things in.....

%%PACKAGE%%
Needless to say, modding the package and ship that you start with is MUCH easier if you use the character.ini file and NOT the mpnewcharacter.ini file!!!!
