Florida System Beta 1.0

Heya peeps.

I have created a nice addition to Liberty. I mean, only 4 systems isn't much. Ok, there are 5, but you normally can't visit Alaska.

Anyway, after weeks of working (not 24/7 btw ) I am satisfied with the current status to have it released as Beta 1.0 mod.

Although it has no a script (don't know how to write one and the tutorial of FLMM is double-dutch to me. No offense to all Dutchees out here ), the mod does work with FLMM.

I have created infocards, but I am curious to know if you all can see them.

Here is the url:

www.geocities.com/silver71880/Florida.zip

I'll give you some data about the system, so that you know what to expect:

2 Planets
4 Moons
Several bases
1 Battleship
3 Jump gates
Tradelanes
2 Jump Holes
Traffic
2 Nebula's/asteroid fields
1 Asteroid field

Please read the included readme file for information on how to go to Florida.

And that's it, I think. Go discover for yourself if you want

Me thinks that you are from NW Florida! I had a hint when the first station I saw was Pensacola, later the Battleship Escambia, and finally, the Milton Border Station.

Anyway, you have a nice (familiar feeling) looking mod. Everything seemed to work (exception being the job boards).

The only problem I see is one that you have no control over. Once you've been there, and done that...Booring! All of the other mods being done suffer the same fate.

About the job board thing...I think Reynan solved it. Why don't you drop him a line and see if he would give you a hand.

Like I said...GOOD WORK!

Hey Silver;

I don't know if you relize it but your mods mission board bug also effects all bases through out the game.

I think that I might have a fix for you. I saw something in the general editing forum and tried it out for the Manhatten System and it worked.

If you compare your 'Mbase.ini' Li01.01 with the snip below you will understand. I don't know what caused it to run the lines of code together, or if that is what happened.

In the original post, the guy said the prob was caused by Bini (the GUI) I had a lot of trouble using the gui version so went to the command line and haven't had any trouble since.

Now, the strange thing is, I checked my set of stock .ini files and found the code missing the 'offers_missions = true' line.

I don't know, but try it, you may like it.

[BaseFaction
faction = li_n_grp
weight = 13
offers_missions = true
mission_type = DestroyMission, 0.000000, 0.112387, 30
npc = li0101_lnavy_001_f
npc = li0101_lnavy_002_m
npc = li0101_lnavy_003_f

[BaseFaction
faction = li_lsf_grp
weight = 13
offers_missions = true
mission_type = DestroyMission, 0.000000, 0.112387, 20
npc = li0101_lsf_001_f
npc = li0101_lsf_002_m
npc = li0101_lsf_003_m

[BaseFaction
faction = li_p_grp
weight = 30
offers_missions = true
mission_type = DestroyMission, 0.000000, 0.112387, 50
npc = li0101_lpolice_001_f
npc = li0101_lpolice_002_m
npc = li0101_lpolice_003_m

Damn! I knew I forgot something. Thanks so much for finding it out!

I'll add that in the Beta 1.1 release. It will have a bit more pirates as well.

as for Orlando Heretic, I had to choose between either Orlando or Miami. I have chosen for Miami to be the one with the base and make Orlando a gas giant with rings. Something that you don't see very often in the Sirius sector

The infocards are ok for you all? I mean, you are able to see them?

As for all players that have tested this mod: thanks a lot. Any feedback, either negative or positive, is welcome.

By the way,
Beta 1.1 will probably be up by the end of this week. And for the next system. It will be Alaska.

with more bases in it of course

Nice work Man, I'll have to slap it in.


I too wish I had my home in FL. The only Mention of New Jersey, IS A DEBRIS FIELD!

Is it just me? Or does our good buddy Trent look every so slightly like a certain beloved.....Battlestar Galactica rouge.

Well, really, Miami should be a Corsair station...after all, the majority of all drugs in the United States are run through there. Orlando should just be one of those Orbital Spa & Cruise Line ships.
