See how this was done for the XML Toolkit Mod, 1.2. I added ShipDealers, custom THNs / Rooms, and other features, allowing every single Base in the House Systems to have a ShipDealer, including female ShipDealers. The mod includes instructions on how to do this per Base.

But... basically... yes, you have to do this the hard way. It was an enormous amount of work getting it done for the House Systems, and I did it for every other System in 1.3... very, very tough work, lemme tell you...

But, the good news is that once you have created the base with the shipdealer, you can use that template in FLE to create other bases. So you don't have to do it manually all of the time.

ive done something wrong i think

Your not kidding

First up there are only 2 room types you can add 3 virtual dealers to and get them to appear, they are battleship decks and planetscapes, most other decks only take 2 dealers.

Okay now for a base.ini

[BaseInfo
nickname = Li01_06_Base
start_room = Deck

[Room
nickname = Bar
file = Universe\Systems\Li01\Bases\Rooms\Li01_06_Bar.ini

[Room
nickname = Deck
file = Universe\Systems\Li01\Bases\Rooms\Li01_06_Deck.ini

[Room
nickname = ShipDealer
file = Universe\Systems\Li01\Bases\Rooms\Li01_06_shipdealer.ini

This is how it should look if you add a shipdealer to a station, planets with a cityscape can have 5 rooms where as battleships and planetscape usually have 2 (unless they have a special for a mission cgi).
I see your using Liberty rooms so we'll stick with a Liberty shipdealer, copy Li01_12_Shipdealer.ini to your systems room folder and rename it to suit.Now in your bar change the shipdealer hotspot to this:-

[Hotspot
name = IDS_HOTSPOT_SHIPDEALER_ROOM
behavior = ExitDoor
room_switch = ShipDealer

delete the virtual_room line, open your deck.ini and add the above hotspot after the equipment dealers hotspot,now delete the last 3 hotspot ( the shipdealer desks in you post).If you've done as instructed you should now have a shipdealers room (minus an NPC).

I'll leave you to add the dealer to the mBases.ini.
