i look around here in this very very extensive network of freelancer info here a lot and iv never had to post here before to answer a question...but i give up

im using the tie universe mod and i couldn't find the star destroyer anywhere so i decided i would make it the starting ship (so i could get it being the only admin at the moment) and then change the starting ship back to normal. i think that would be a cool way to help enforce things and kill those cheaters. and maybe add to the role play, y'know.

i'v looked at a number of posts here but i couldnt find a COMPLETE tutorial in how to do it. the only info i could find on this forum about how to change the starting ship was to do a CTRL+F for credit (because at first i wanted to change the starting credits but thanks again to you guys i found out how). when i did that i came across two posts that talked about the same file (newcharacter.ini) which is supposedly the file i need to change.

this is what it ORIGINALLY looked like:




[Pilot
nickname = trent
body = trent
comm = trent
voice = trent_voice
body.anim = Sc_MLBODY_STND_000LV_A_31
thumb = interface\intro\objects\MULTI_blackdragonmale.3db
comm.anim = Sc_comm_body_unfold_female, Sc_headCOM

[Package
nickname = ge_fighter
strid_name = 11051
strid_desc = 11551
ship = ge_fighter
loadout = MP_ge_fighter
money = 1000000

[Faction
nickname = new_player
rep_group = co_ic_grp
base = Li01_01_Base
Package = ge_fighter
Pilot = trent



this is what it looks like now:



[Pilot
nickname = trent
body = trent
comm = trent
voice = trent_voice
body.anim = Sc_MLBODY_STND_000LV_A_31
thumb = interface\intro\objects\MULTI_blackdragonmale.3db
comm.anim = Sc_comm_body_unfold_female, Sc_headCOM

[Package
nickname = tie_stardestroyer
strid_name = 11051
strid_desc = 11551
ship = tie_stardestroyer
loadout = li_n_li_dreadnought
money = 1000000

[Faction
nickname = new_player
rep_group = co_ic_grp
base = Li01_01_Base
Package = tie_stardestroyer_package
Pilot = trent



i dont know what else to change or maybe im not changing enough or maybe what i changed was wrong but i can't get it to work. when it doesn't work it sais the character's name is in use, but if i revert the file back to normal, it doesn't say that anymore.

any ideas?
