Changing ship class

Mon Sep 04, 2006 5:24 pm by robocop

This is for an optional mod to a vanilla server. We would like to make the CSV available for purchase for those who are running the mod. So far we have it working just fine. You need the client mod to buy and fly the ship but players who don't have the mod running can co-exist alongside those who do without any issues.

I would like to change the classification of the CSV from a light fighter to a freighter.

1). How would I go about doing so?
2). Can anyone foresee any issues with conflicts between those running the mod and those not running the mod if this change is applied?

thanks in advance,
Robo

Depends how u want to do this. If it's the npc csv you're changing then that could have issues in the encounters as the csv will appear in pre-defind encounters as a fighter.
If you're making a sepearate one however, then goto SHIPARCH and just change the type from,

type = FIGHTER

to

type = FREIGHTER

and add the

ship_class = 2

line as well. Other things to consider are changing the shield type to freighter as well and the weapons. Have a look at the entry for the rhino...
