What do you mean, add in a purchaseable nomad ship?

I got that to work, was kind of cool.

make sure to put this last one at the base you want to purchase it, so for planet manhatten (L01_01) Put the line in with the others, also the max buyable ships is 3, so you might have to change one of the other packages to be non-sellable like the startracker line

marketgood = gf2_package, 4, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1

change to

marketgood = gf2_package, 4, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1

Hi.

Could you tell me how and if I can give the nomad fighter more available guns? Just 3 gun-slots arent much...already tried to add them by adding hpweapon0X, but didnt work...

Regards

Is it possible to add shields to the nomad? I've tried putting the shield lines from the Titan to see if shields were mountable, but no luck.. Still can't mount em... Anyone know how??

Nomad fighters are "living" ships which means they are organic in nature, and as a result you cant mount any equipment on them. If you want them to last longer just double or triple their hit points. Same goes for the three gun mounts, if you feel three gun mounts make the ship to weak, double or triple the damage of nomad weapons.

well i havent tried this but you can try removing the value

nomad = true

Also try adding this to the ship package

addon = shield01_mark10_hf, HpShield01, 1

Im not sure nomad ships have shield hardpoints, so it might not work

My nomad has 4 gun mounts... One is on the nose, the other 3 are on each "wing" of the ship. All I can mount on it so far is thrusters and the 4 guns. I don't think the nomad has a hardpoint for shields. I've tried several different ways to put shields on it, but nothing works. Is there any way to add hardpoints, such as editing dlls, or am I stuck with a cool looking ship with no shields?

(I went all out with the shiparch.ini for this ship tryin to get stuff to work...)

hp_type = hp_gun_special_10, HpTorpedo01, HpTorpedo02, HpTorpedo03
hp_type = hp_gun_special_10, HpTorpedo01, HpTorpedo02, HpTorpedo03

As for the weapons, when you scan a hostile nomad ship, it has nomad guns that do around 2000 damage. Is it possible to use an addon line (ex: Class 10 Gravitron shields - addon = shield01_mark10_hf, HpShield01, 1 / Nomad Blaster - addon = special_nomad_gun01, HpWeapon01, 1) to get these? Has anyone found anything in dlls regarding stuff that npcs use? I know people are working on cloaking, so it seems you would be able to use npc guns if its possible to use npc devices such as cloaking...

Also if its not too much trouble, could you post how to add the Nomad battlecruiser and gunboat? I wouldn't mind trying those out next

I've been editing/testing this ship alot and so far this is what i got on it. (It's not much but i'm still working on it)

Any Thruster can be mounted, On the back ofcourse :p
Torpedo's can be mounted, On the nose
3 nomad guns, one on each "wing"

Only thing i've extra upgraded is the amount of nanobots it can hold. And the cruise speed charge to 3 instead of 5 sec.
Can't get the shield to work though Even if you put it "internal" it's still a no-go for now.

[edit typo's

Well the guns the nomads use are the nomad lasers i think, you can find all the items the nomads use orignally by opening up this ini

data\ships\loadouts.ini

look for no_fighter

says they use nomad_gun01_mark01 guns

I somehow suspect that the number of possible guns/etc on a ship is limited by definitions of hardpoints in the 3d model of that ship...HCL is busy decripting the .cmp file format (hopefully also the .3db and .sur too ), and he said he'd build an importer/exporter for it (although just raw meshinfo and object names/properties would be usefull to start with ).

if i remember well,when i scanned nomad ships i could c 2 or 3 nomad lasers + a blaster and a cannon....so i dont know

maybe it already has the hardpoints

I started working on making a nomad fighter, and i solved the shield problem...

I pasted this into the shiparch.ini in the nomad ship section as referenced above
after
Hit_pts = 10000

paste

shield_link = cv_fighter6_shield01, HpMount, HpCloak01
hp_type = hp_elite_shield_special_10, HpCloak01
hp_type = hp_elite_shield_special_9, HpCloak01
hp_type = hp_elite_shield_special_8, HpCloak01
hp_type = hp_elite_shield_special_7, HpCloak01
hp_type = hp_elite_shield_special_6, HpCloak01
hp_type = hp_elite_shield_special_5, HpCloak01
hp_type = hp_elite_shield_special_4, HpCloak01
hp_type = hp_elite_shield_special_3, HpCloak01
hp_type = hp_elite_shield_special_2, HpCloak01
hp_type = hp_elite_shield_special_1, HpCloak01


this gives a shiled mount where the cloak would be
and ties it to the readout, works perfectly


also the 4th weapon hardpoint is actually
HpTorpedo01
but you can mount anything you want on it.

mine has another gun (4 total) as shown here

hp_type = hp_gun_special_10, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02, HpWeapon03, HpTorpedo01
hp_type = hp_gun_special_9, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02, HpWeapon03, HpTorpedo01
hp_type = hp_gun_special_8, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02, HpWeapon03, HpTorpedo01
hp_type = hp_gun_special_7, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02, HpWeapon03, HpTorpedo01
hp_type = hp_gun_special_6, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02, HpWeapon03, HpTorpedo01
hp_type = hp_gun_special_5, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02, HpWeapon03, HpTorpedo01
hp_type = hp_gun_special_4, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02, HpWeapon03, HpTorpedo01
hp_type = hp_gun_special_3, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02, HpWeapon03, HpTorpedo01
hp_type = hp_gun_special_2, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02, HpWeapon03, HpTorpedo01
hp_type = hp_gun_special_1, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02, HpWeapon03, HpTorpedo01
hp_type = hp_thruster, HpThruster01


also, the weapons the nomads drop if you kill them are designed for human ships, the ones that actually go on their ships have no model, so they don't look so odd on the ship. post if you want more info. (i have a nomad thruster on my ship and it looks like the thrust is coming from the engine.)
