on the upside, I can make everyone hate eachother atm too. that is also DAMN FUNNY!!

that info is most likely going to be stored in the save game file... it wouldn't make sense to put it in one of the .ini files since it changes based upon player, time, and actions.

in the EXE directory there is a file called "mpnewcharacter" which is an uncompressed .fl file if I remember correctly.

You can edit all sorts of things like starting money, system, even starting reputations.

NOTE:

The "new character" screen will always show you with 2000 credits, and a Starflier, in NY System.

Took me forever to realize that the game assigns the mpnewcharacter changes after you actually log in. =

didn't even think to look there lol.



the reps are only set for the start. they do change as u play and are put into your savegame file.

thnx for that file btw. now i can figure out who is who on it. though i think i have most of it down already.

the money and ship are stored in another file (an ini file, can't remember the name)

I'm still digging around for the damage attributes for ships/asteroids, nothing yet.. anyone have more luck?

ships are in "Ships/Shipsarch.ini"

general damage is inthe consistant.ini file. tho i don't advise playing with it

Okay, what dependencies does that file have? is there a variable for damage done by impacting with space debris... or is it limited to weapond damage, etc, etc,

If values are changed on server-side then will all clients use the same ini properties, or will a 'mod' file have to be downloaded and used when playing on modded server, obviously this is still a while from now but good to think about...

-Vile

you can change the damage done by running into to things yes.

should be server side though i have not tested that part yet. DA designed changes like that to be server side though..

Does anybody know where you can see which short name from initialworld.ini matches with the names on your reputation-screen?

I can quess some but not all. what file holds that info?

Hope this helps. I also tried tweaking the House settings in mpnewcharacter.ini and discovered that they do indeed change how each faction regards you in the very beginning. I'm not sure how static the initial settings are, but they appear heavily dependent on the player's actions.

dont edit the %%money%% type values in mpnewcharacter...edit those in newcharacter.ini (in data\characters)

as for factions...ya...the only way to edit those is in the mp
