Tue Jun 22, 2004 10:31 am by capitalmerc

ive created a shield and added it to custom base, in a custom system, it appears there fine. but the ship im trying to load the shield onto will take it. im trying to mount onto a ku battleship.

can some one please tell me what programs i need, and some info on how to do it?

thanks.

in the SHIPARCH.ini add this line to your battleship

shield_link = l_fighter_shield01, HpMount, HpCloak01
hp_type = hp_fighter_shield_generator, HpCloak01

this should do it , since all ships have an extra HP with them (can only mount light fighter shields tough , but if you are a bit convenient you can let it mount all shields you want

)

hi ...
if you needs more than one hardpoint, test this :
http://www.lessieux.fsnet.co.uk/
section freelancer tools: hardpoint editor ..
very easy and very usefull
good game ...

tested on XP and 98

verry handy tool , but my method is a quick and easy , and it also presses the mod sise since you dont have to ad new .CMP files

sure, that's not need it if you need only one extra ...
but if you want new generator, new shields, etc ... you must modified the CMP, and this is the best way compared to milkshape or UTF editor ...
here you could see directly where you put it ...

every modder find his own best solution !!!!!

J'apprends le francais =)

Anyways, when did this tool come out? Is it on the downloads for lancer's reactor? Because it sure is a VERY handy tool, much easier then any other tools I know of. Thanks!

hi everybody ..
i ask if someone speek french, because yo can write directly in french to shsan ... !!!

normally, shsan says me , he deliver to us asap this version of hardpoint editor into the package of freelancer explorer ...
i have tested under 98 freelancer explorer and hardpoint editor , to be sure all is perfect ... yet no problem for everybody under 98 and XP
Wasabe, are you really a man or a god ???? you are so excellent !!! and your french too !!!

make a mod asap for loot equipment !!!! i search since so many time the way to give the possibility when you kill one human player,to drop all the cargo into space ... more logical ...
