Editing help

Hi, I'm a newbie to editing, and need help with making a MOD. Can anyone help me to remove tradelanes and slow down all the ships?

Post Fri Jul 30, 2004 6:46 am

to remove all tradelanes you`ve go to edit every system`s ini file .. for example \Data\Universe\Systems\Li01

inside Li01.ini press ctrl+f, search for TRADE_LANE

[Object
nickname = Li01_Trade_Lane_Ring_16

remove all those ..

to slow down all ships you would have to edit all the ship`s engines either .. goto \Data\Equipment

then open engine_equip.ini:

again search function .. for max_force = and lower the values ..

OR in \Data folder constants.ini file:

add this

CRUISING_SPEED = 300 (as usual)

make it 500 for example, notice it will still show 300 in game but you`ll notice the change

ok if your a complete noob then this will make it easy for you or else then you will find it boring and i will make a fool of myself 8>P....................

First decode files using bini lite or biniqdu, you can find it in download section of TLR.
slow down ships thats easy,
just open up good.ini ,use find command in your text editor then paste the nickname of your ship it will take you to the ships entry,then search for this line
example :-
````````
addon = ge_coe_engine_01 , internal, 1
copy the part with engine_01, here in bold.

now open up engine_equip.ini then
use find and paste the bold part.
you will find an entry like this

[Engine
nickname = ge_coe_engine_01
ids_name = 263682
ids_info = 264682
volume = 0.000000
mass = 10
max_force = 48000
linear_drag = 599
power_usage = 0
reverse_fraction = 0.200000
flame_effect = gf_li_smallengine01_fire
trail_effect = gf_li_smallengine01_trail
trail_effect_player = gf_li_smallengine01_playtrail
cruise_charge_time = 5
cruise_power_usage = 20
character_start_sound = engine_bw_fighter_start
character_loop_sound = engine_bw_fighter_loop
character_pitch_range = -50, 25
rumble_sound = rumble_bw_h_fighter
rumble_atten_range = -5, 0
rumble_pitch_range = -25, 25
engine_kill_sound = engine_bw_fighter_kill
cruise_start_sound = engine_bw_cruise_start
cruise_loop_sound = engine_bw_cruise_loop
cruise_stop_sound = engine_bw_cruise_stop
cruise_disrupt_sound = cruise_disrupt
cruise_backfire_sound = cruise_backfire
indestructible = false
outside_cone_attenuation = -3
inside_sound_cone = 60
outside_sound_cone = 180

seems confusing right.

*ok now check this code
max_force = 48000
reduce or increase this value to Anything you want and your ship will slowdown or fly fast.

*change the line
reverse_fraction = 0.200000 to increase your reverse thrust, remember to keep it a fraction.<< i have a doubt abt this part,if anyone knows plz post.

*change the line
cruise_charge_time = 5
set the value 5 to 0,1,2,... in seconds and your ship will cruise in only that set amount of time.

*change the line
linear_drag = 599, decrease this value to increase your linear speed(velocity)

good luck and i hope this helps you.
