Post a sample INI entry, so that we can see

Nomad Missions and also ORder vs Nomad Missions dont work with the original factions.
I suggest this is hardcoded, so you have to copy those factions like fc_order_grp and fc_nomad_grp or somethin like that..

then it'll work!

@ w0dk4:

I don't think it is hardcoded. Here, let me link you to a post:

http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/forum/t ... lse&S=True

MK

encounter = area_nomads_m13

Could be switched out for area_defend... that's probably what's up.

Hi mknote!

I have to say that w0dka is right. In my own mod the Monkeys 1.18 I have missions against the Nomads and they work very well. But this was only possible with creating a new faction.

I just copied the Order and the Nomads and created two new factions (fc_n2_grp and fc_or2_grp). Using these the missions work, but if you just use fc_n_grp they will never give you missions.
Besides cloning the Nomads and the Order to have them in the game is good anyway, as the original factions are a bit buggy and unfinished.

So, just clone them and create two new ones. Then set up missions for them and everything should work.

For your link. FriendlyFire, the guy from the thread you linked, also copied the Nomad faction and created a new one. It worked only this way for him and as I said also for me. It is not that hard to clone the Nomads and therefore you should try it.

Hope this helps!

And Argh: The encounter area_nomads_m13 is okay. This one works quite well and is not the problem here.

I do NOT want the Nomads to show up on the Rep screen. I do, however, want The Order to. How do I do this as well?

*edit* Black Eagle, may I use your modded factions for simplicity?

*edit2* I have Nomad missions. The only problem is, for some of them with names, there are just blanks. How do I fix this?

Hi mknote!

Yes, you can use my Nomad faction. I think you know, which files you need, otherwise just ask.

For the problem of the names not showing up:

I now do not have the time to explain this, but there were several threads about this topic. You need to add the names to several dlls in a specific way (the numbers are connected and there is a specific multiplier to get the next one).

So, try to search for names in mission texts or something like this and you should find the thread, where this is explained. If I remember right it was Chips, who posted this.

For the Order showing up, you should also find a thread. You need to edit the common.dll for this.

Hmmm, I'm not sure I was clear (maybe I was though). Example: an destroy loot mission against the Nomads: yadda-yadda-or, more specificly, in hands... The name "Nomads" comes up fine. If that's what you were talking about, ignore this.

*edit2* It works!

Edited by - mknote on 4/27/2005 1:50:59 PM

We always found that having "go kill this particular nomad named xxxx" was detracting from the fact that they have no individual names, no stations etc etc.

Seeing them occupy a shipyard, or any other normal station was pretty much a travesty! To that end, edit your Vignette Params.ini file in the random missions folder - so that you can have them ONLY being in "kill ships" missions.

One of these is:
[DataNode
node_id = 593

I haven't been bothered to go through the whole file and work out which one is which... I was far too lazy after I got through about 20 different 'pick the loot' types... and gave up.

Hope that info helps to those who don't want extraneous mission types against factions.

All right, I'm stumped. How do I edit this vignetteparams.ini? Here is what I have (sorry about the length) :

Meh. One heck of a headache, this file. At any rate, I no longer get KillStation missions, but I still get all of the others. Why? And how do I fix this?

MK

No posts in twelve days... anything on the above problem?

MK

Hi again mknote!

I'm not totally sure, what exactly you want, but it seems to me that you do not know, which lines are for which mission types and therefore do not know where to add your faction.

To get to know the mission type, you can however just do the following:

just look into the ids, which are written in the offer_text lines to see, which type of mission it is (The text will make it clear). Then you can add the Nomads just to the missions, which have texts that are of a mission type you want (e.g.: destroy missions). One thing: You should add the Nomads only to lines, where also other pirate factions are and not to lines, in which legal factions are. The Nomads are also illigal and therefore should be in the illegal mission vignettes.

I hope this helps!

Nearly four months... I am still having Nomad mission problems. How do I get it so that ONLY kill ship missions are given to them?

MK

I do also have a problem with missions, i haven't tried with other factions yet, but at the moment it's also The Order vs. Nomads. Yes, I have copied the two factions, renamed them and copied their entries in initialworld.ini and empathy.ini, so everything concerning this works just fine, both factions show up in the rep list and shoot each other.

I have the Osiris in Alaska, I have working patrol paths with The Order and Nomad ships, I have destroy vignettes everywhere, I have vignettes without a patrol path passing through and there are also "normal" encounters. Everything should be ok by now? Well, it isn't. I still get no missions, read through at least 20 topics about this dammit problem and nearly everyone got his missions to work. Me not. I tried everything, edited the vignette type from unlawful to every other possible variation and it still doesn't work.

This is really frustrating and seeing that all others get missions after editing an entry that doesn't change anything on my machine doesn't make it better...

If you want my codes please tell me, but I actually didn't want to "overtake" mk's topic.
