wanna post your Ini files so fellow fans can try out your cruisers ??

with the cruisers i think its alot more realistic that they dont land on planets... think about it you have all these millitary ship yards... you think huge capital ships are gonna be produced on planets, or able to land on planets? capital ships were made for space, have them only able to dock with spacestaions and shipyards, then again i know nothing about the gaming code and dont assume to

I added this code as per the instructions in the beganning of the thread. Well...Ive ran into a little barrier, I replaced the light fighter on Manhattan with the cruiser. I go to buy it - and theres no ship there, and it only lists the rhino and the patriot for sale.

Whats up with that? Ive done most everything I can to figure out what was wrong, but to no luck.

Thanks for any help.

Its possible that your market list package line isn't the same as the one in the goods file. Example, the 2nd good section with the nickname "my_ship" would have to be the same in the market_ship file

Amazing, now to just get the nomad capitol ship hehe.

Wanderer, Im not sure I understand exactly what you mean. Could you simplify it a bit?

Ok, used Bini.exe (uncompressed them), edited INI's. Saved them as INI's, changed extesions of originals to .bak. Started the game, went to check the ships for sale and it wasn't showing. Am I doing something wrong? Or do I have to search the ships out? Do I need to re-compress the INI's?

Only on stations they can be bought?

This could explain why it isnt working for me...

Is there a lsit of which nicks = what station and planet name?

eg. LI01 = Manhattan. What would the shipyards be?

Thanks much.

A question..

As I understand each ship has hardpoints such as HpWeapon#,HpShield#, HpTurret#, etc. Are these hardcoded or you can define your own? If so, where?

I got mine from an orbiting docking station I believe. It might have been the shipyards... but not totally sure (had a little too much fun flying it around )

Could someone send me a working copy of the modified files? Id like to compare them directly to mine to see what Im doing wrong.

Thanks alot.

Ok, here is how it goes. Your goods list should have something like this if you've inputted it correctly.
[Good
nickname = nox_cruiser
category = shiphull
ship = nox_cruiser_ship
price = 5
ids_name = 12018
item_icon = Equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\bw_freighter.3dba

[Good
nickname = nox_cruiser_package
category = ship
hull = nox_cruiser
addon = ge_s_scanner_02
addon = ge_s_tractor_01
addon = ge_lc_engine_01
addon = sfx_rumble_cruiser
addon = br_freighter_power01, internal, 1
addon = LargeWhiteSpecial, HpHeadlight01, 1
addon = LargeWhiteSpecial, HpHeadlight02, 1
addon = SlowLargeBlue, HpRunningLight03, 1
addon = SlowlargeBlue, HpRunningLight06, 1
addon = SlowlargeBlue, HpRunningLight08, 1
addon = SlowlargeBlue, HpRunningLight09, 1
addon = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight01
addon = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight02
addon = contrail01, HpContrail01
addon = contrail01, HpContrail02
addon = contrail01, HpContrail03
addon = contrail01, HpContrail04
addon = li_cruiser_forward_gun01, HpWeapon01
addon = li_cruiser_turret01, HpTurret_L5_01
addon = li_cruiser_turret01, HpTurret_L5_02
addon = li_cruiser_missile_turret01, HpTurret_L5_03
addon = li_cruiser_missile_turret01, HpTurret_L5_04
addon = li_cruiser_turret01, HpTurret_L5_05
addon = li_cruiser_turret01, HpTurret_L5_06
addon = li_cruiser_turret01, HpTurret_L5_07

Now note the nox_cruiser_package. Your market_ships file should have something like this in whatever base area you picked.

marketgood = nox_cruiser_package, 6, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1

Remember, if their names are'nt the same, you won't have the ship cause the game can't find that particular file.
