If we take a random engine:

[Engine
nickname = ge_gf1_engine_01
ids_name = 263671
ids_info = 264671
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 <-- this is in seconds
cruise_power_usage = 20
character_start_sound = engine_ci_fighter_start
character_loop_sound = engine_ci_fighter_loop
character_pitch_range = 10, 65
rumble_sound = rumble_ci_fighter
rumble_atten_range = -5, 0
rumble_pitch_range = -25, 25
engine_kill_sound = engine_ci_fighter_kill
cruise_start_sound = engine_ci_cruise_start
cruise_loop_sound = engine_ci_cruise_loop
cruise_stop_sound = engine_ci_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

Just change the highlighted line to whatever you want

Thx darkstone, worked first time. I was looking in constants.ini

Another question though. and this is a BIG one. For some reason i cant edit misc_goods.ini.

Now i have been working on it for some time, getting ALL of the existing powerplants to be able to be bought, but for some reason, it has stopped working, and whenever i load the game (with my changes in the misc_goods.ini) the game crashes at start, before the menu.

BUT when i run the game, with my changes not there, the game works perfectly.

And the question is, WHAT is causing all my problems. Here is a sampl of what i am trying to do.

[Good
nickname = ge_fighter_power01
equipment = ge_fighter_power01
category = equipment
price = 1000
item_icon = equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\EQUIPICON_cmdropper.3db
combinable = true
ids_name = 263705
ids_info = 264705
shop_archetype = equipment\models\commodities\crates\crate_grey.3db

[Good
nickname = ge_fighter2_power01
equipment = ge_fighter2_power01
category = equipment
price = 1000
item_icon = equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\EQUIPICON_cmdropper.3db
combinable = true
ids_name = 263706
ids_info = 264706
shop_archetype = equipment\models\commodities\crates\crate_grey.3db

[Good
nickname = ge_fighter4_power01
equipment = ge_fighter4_power01
category = equipment
price = 1000
item_icon = equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\EQUIPICON_cmdropper.3db
combinable = true
ids_name = 263707
ids_info = 264707
shop_archetype = equipment\models\commodities\crates\crate_grey.3db

[Good
nickname = ge_fighter5_power01
equipment = ge_fighter5_power01
category = equipment
price = 1000
item_icon = equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\EQUIPICON_cmdropper.3db
combinable = true
ids_name = 263708
ids_info = 264708
shop_archetype = equipment\models\commodities\crates\crate_grey.3db

[Good
nickname = ge_fighter6_power01
equipment = ge_fighter6_power01
category = equipment
price = 1000
item_icon = equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\EQUIPICON_cmdropper.3db
combinable = true
ids_name = 263709
ids_info = 264709
shop_archetype = equipment\models\commodities\crates\crate_grey.3db

if ANYONE can see what i am doing wrong here PLZ PLZ do tell me. Because, when i take these out it works, and when theyre in there it dont work.

Infact i tried to make a minor change to the misc_goods.ini file, like make another nanobot, and it seems that any change i make, screws the whole thing.

PLZ HELP

For powerplants you need to change it to combinable = false. Combinable objects are only items you can have more than one of (i.e. ammo or nanobots). Powerplants, when added, are required pieces of equipment but you can only have one of them. Your entries should look like this;

[Good
nickname = ge_fighter_power01
equipment = ge_fighter_power01
category = equipment
price = 1200
item_icon = equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\EQUIPICON_powerplant.3db
combinable = false
ids_name = 263705
ids_info = 264705
shop_archetype = equipment\models\hardware\ge_high_temp_nuclear_core.3db

WOW. Thanks m8.

I dont think i wouldve thought to change that. I guess that would be the same for tractorbeams and scanners too. Thanks a lot
