Problem with Bounty-Hunter Encounter

I like to make a new encounter fort the Bounty Hunters, but the Encounter won’t work. I like to make, that the BH’s escort s a modified Luxury Liner, but when I fly into the Area, where should the Liners be, there are no ships. But when I delete the Liner from the encounter, everything work. Have anybody an idea, what I make wrong?

These are my entries:

I've got one for you, in npcships
NPCShipArch
nickname = bh_battleship
loadout = bh_battleship_loadout
level = d19
ship_archetype = ge_liner
pilot = battleship_default
state_graph = CRUISER
npc_class = lawful, class_battleship, d19<---
d19 there means that it will show up only at difficulty 19

but..
In the ambient pop zone:
nickname = Zone_DL06_pop_ambient_01
..
toughness = 15
..
encounter = bh_battleship_encounter, 15, 1.000000<--The level is 15
faction = gd_bh_grp, 1.000000

The fix is to add the other lower numbers to the npcships entry, like:
npc_class = lawful, class_battleship, d1, d2, d3, d4, d5, d6, d7, d8, d9, d10, d11, d12, d13, d14, d15, d16, d17, d18, d19

Thank you for your reply. I will look now, if the encounter work now.

I thought the "d19" means, that the liner have a maximum level of 19.

Post Sat Mar 03, 2007 4:04 am

Oh, the "level = d19" is the actual level of the ship and loadout for being displayed in its corner in game and for loot dropping type stuff. It should be alright to work now.
