transport_small mod

Tue Mar 11, 2003 10:40 pm by -su][[]t-

i just built my own small transport ship

tested it out in multiplayer
now i'm stucked

i can't dock at space stations with mooring fixtures (like newark station)

(mission property is can_use_berths - witch means, it should dock like a normal ship)

i can land on each planet, like manhatten & stuff

>>>
that's what i added in shiparch.ini

next problem is:

the equipment slots are called "turret" - but i can only buy minedroppers

so that ship got no self defense

exp. mines, lots of mines

next problem is the engine

the balistic isn't good enough - with afterburner, the ship goes only 90 m/s - without approx 70

AND it draw's some very nasty looking smoke rings around the engine

some help plz

changed this in shiparch.ini
>>>
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_shiparch_htransport
mission_property = can_use_berths
LODranges = 0, 300, 900, 4500
type = FREIGHTER
<<<

no i'm able to dock at docking rings & jump gates

the only thing you have to do is fly straight to the ring - in any other chase, the ship chrashes with the ring / gate - the auto pilot A.I. is too dumb for other landing sequences

---

1st problem partly solved
2nd problem - i got no guns on my ship - anyone knows how to fix it?

i read the battleship tutorial, but the methode to get a working shield onto my super freighter doesn't work

BUT: alpha testing rox >
i just traded approx 15k water from manhatten to pittsburgh

my guess as to why you only have mine droppers is cuz of this line

hp_type = hp_turret, HpTurret_U1_01, HpTurret_U1_02, HpTurret_U1_03, HpTurret_U1_04, HpTurret_U3_01

change it to

hp_type = hp_turret_special_1, HpTurret_U1_01, HpTurret_U1_02, HpTurret_U1_03, HpTurret_U1_04, HpTurret_U3_01
and add the following....
hp_type = hp_turret_special_2, HpTurret_U1_01, HpTurret_U1_02, HpTurret_U1_03, HpTurret_U1_04, HpTurret_U3_01
hp_type = hp_turret_special_3, HpTurret_U1_01, HpTurret_U1_02, HpTurret_U1_03, HpTurret_U1_04, HpTurret_U3_01
hp_type = hp_turret_special_4, HpTurret_U1_01, HpTurret_U1_02, HpTurret_U1_03, HpTurret_U1_04, HpTurret_U3_01
(etc up to hp_type = hp_turret_special_10 if you so desire)

hopefully you will now be able to buy turrets for your transport.
however if you prefer guns. then replace

hp_type = hp_turret_special_1 with
hp_type = hp_gun_special_1.. and so on

hope that helps

...Just a random thought from a random mind

kk, i messed with it - it works, something like that

hardpoint config now looks like this

>>>
hp_type = hp_turret_special_1, HpTurret_U1_01, HpTurret_U1_02, HpTurret_U1_03, HpTurret_U1_04, HpTurret_U3_01
hp_type = hp_turret_special_2, HpTurret_U1_01, HpTurret_U1_02, HpTurret_U1_03, HpTurret_U1_04, HpTurret_U3_01
hp_type = hp_turret_special_3, HpTurret_U1_01, HpTurret_U1_02, HpTurret_U1_03, HpTurret_U1_04, HpTurret_U3_01
hp_type = hp_turret_special_4, HpTurret_U1_01, HpTurret_U1_02, HpTurret_U1_03, HpTurret_U1_04, HpTurret_U3_01
hp_type = hp_cargo_pod, HpCargo01, HpCargo02
hp_type = hp_mine_dropper, HpEngine01, HpEngine02, HpEngine03, HpEngine04
hp_type = hp_thruster, HpEngine01, HpEngine02, HpEngine03, HpEngine04
hp_type = hp_countermeasure_dropper, HpEngine01, HpEngine02, HpEngine03, HpEngine04
shield_link = l_freighter_shield01, HpMount, HpEngine01, HpEngine02, HpEngine03, HpEngine04
<<<

the problem: no shields or any stuff

only 4 additional countermeasue slots ?! - but i can put a thruster or a minedroper on that slots
