Random Ship Placement Program almost done...

The general place to discuss MOD''ing Freelancer!

Not sure what you mean. I don't think that you can change the ships in market_ships.ini while the game is running as the file has already been loaded by the game.
Could you please elaborate on that?!?!

Yes the program could be modified to randomize the commodities in the game. Would anyone actually use this??

Oh! ok. I was basicly thinking that every 15 or 20 minuts the ships in the dealers would randomly change. Mostly to give the feel that there were different ships coming in and out of certain systems. Or that, like in Diablo, every now and again when you landed on a station or planet, they would have a different set of ships. I guess if the engine does allow the ini's to be changed during the time that it is running then that idea for the moment is far before its time.

And about the comodities stockmarket idea. I thought about how it could work in my head, just to change the feel of the gameplay, but as long as I don't fully know how the engine works my idea might not even work, right?

Well, seeing as how this game is getting kinda old now, alot of ideas have been thought up. But keep trying man, you never know.

Man, if only we could get ahold of the Source Code, that would change the playing field dramaticly. I guess it's only a matter of time now until it's releasted as freeware.

Bet you £10 it never is.

yeah, I know, but here's hoping, right? Anyway, I joined the RA/DSS team and I'm learning as much as I can to mod the crap out of the game, so I'm hoping in time we can make a new TC mod, with that shuffler and that other concept program, that would be awsome. Hey, guy, I realy hope the production of that program is going well, it looks cool too.

Yes, we're glad to have you

In any case, i have envisioned not only shuffler programs but a place where players can build their own stations. The only way this would be possible is with a frontloader though.
