Bases for New Factions

Sat Sep 17, 2005 9:37 pm by Hermann_Schwarz

I am making a mod where I am adding new factions and bases for those factions. In Universe.ini, there is this line:

BGCS_base_run_by = W02bF15

I know which ones correspond to which existing factions, but how do I write this line for my new factions. I do not know how to write that nickname for any of my new factions. One of which is:

gd_ewf_grp ; Edge World Freight Corps.

Would it be possible for me to make a new line with say:

W02bF60

for my new faction, or is there a corresponding value for all new factions. I havent been able to find a pattern to the way they named each faction with the BGCS code. Any help here would be most appreciated.

first off you don't write you facction nick in the ini
you need fled-ids & if you can understand a litlle geman flidref106.exe from skyshooter

fled-ids is handy to check if an ids number is empty
flidref106 does about the same butr you can make new dll stringtables & allows a much freeer control of editing a dll

the names of the factions are within a dll called namersources
you see the ids numbzer in the ini now it reffers to a string within the dll
allso note when you start making new factions FLE will no longer save the names of bases & all other objects within so you need to add those as wel before starting to add new bases ect...

look to my thread
creating random missions & bribes for factions
you'll find many helpfull explanations there

The line"BGCS_base_run_by = W02bF15" tell the bartender who's base it is so that you get the correct part of the voice files. Custom bases and factions don't have these entries as you need to code it into each rvp voice file, most mod makers don't bother with this as its not worth the effort in creating new vocals.

@ Bejaymac - Thanks that was what I needed to know.

@ Resender - Thanks for the added information. I'll look into flidref106. I have already added my faction into all the inis though as well as used FLed-IDS to name it. Haven't gotten around to the missions yet. But I'll make sure to check your topic when I do.
