Modding Factions

Sat Aug 21, 2004 3:00 am by silverdragon3001

I am adding factions to my server side Evolutions 1.28 mod. I have created the faction and got it to patrol a system with some new ships. By editing initialworld.ini, faction_prop.ini, empathy.ini and the system files neccicary to have them patrol in ships. Anyhow, my problem occurs when I am playing the game. I can not see the names of the faction's ships or the 'short name' when they are selected. Also I can not see them in my rep window in the game, the faction does not appear. Also, I did modify the InfoCards.dll and the NameResources.dll to hold the names and descriptions of my new faction. I have also checked that those id's match up.If anyone can help that would be great. Thanks. Special thanks to all the modders that have put tutorials out.

Hiya, i`m not a real expert. I`ve only done/doing my first mod , but going by your post.. Didja go into npcships as well? U need to assign the ships to appear for the difficulty ratings. Its easiest to just copy and paste an existing one, with all of the usual voices, people and names.
Its just an idea but its worth a check..

yeah, i modded that file. like i said, the ships appear, in the game. they just don't appear on the lower left hud and the faction name and pilots name dont appear when you select them on screen.

well, the only one that I can think of is that you`ve used FLEd-ids to add to the namesresources.dll but haven`t manually transfered the file back into the mod folder. So you could have an an old namesresources.dll modding over the one that has the info added to it. I`m not sure, you probably know at least as much as me. Good luck.

Thanks for all your help. I figured out what was wrong.
