Hi again!

Vader: No, I'm affraid that there isn't one in the current release. But this is a feature I want to add to the mod (maybe next version).
I want to add some very strong equipment, which is quite expensive and can only be bought by high level-players. This equipment, however can be mounted on hardpoints from level 3 to 10 (maybe 2 to 10), so that advanced players can fly the ship they want (for example a Defender), but can still stand against Nomad Fighters, or if they are very good pilots even against stronger ships. This would mean you just have a weak hull, but strong weapons, shields, missiles, torpedoes, etc..

For now this is not in the mod, but you can easily do this with the Ioncross Character Editor (just mount class 10 equipment on a ship of your choice and don't forget a good powerplant). Normally this works without crashing the game, but I cannot guarantee this.
If you can't wait until the next version (which might take some time), you could also change the inis by yourself, as this is a very easy thing to do.

BIGMAG:
At first many thanks for helping me with your suggestions. It's always good to get some help from other players and modders.
One Question: Could you maybe explain me (with an E-mail, as this forum is for the Monkeys mod and not about modding in general) how you made it easier to get battleship encounters or patrols (You said something like this. Mine work perfectly, but you may have a better method. My E-mail address is at the top of every post of me, thanks!

hi all ,any idea when the patch for monkeys 1.18 coming onto this site,its 05.03.05 sat but still not up?

Post Sun Mar 06, 2005 7:01 am

One clue to help people if you want to do the storyline at lvl 40 with a powerful ship and weapons when you start the game... First download Ioncross. Next, create a save with Trent still with the Starflier. Then use Ioncross to edit your save and edit the items in your Cargo hold that you have on the Starflier so that you have like 355 <CODENAME> guns. Then make the Locations thingy say "Planet Prims, Unknown system on the bottom". After that make the factions reputation thingy to make you at 100% with all factions in the game (or only 100% friendly to monkeys and robots). Then sell all the <CODENAME> guns to the Primus weapon seller and you're at lvl 40 and have more than 1 million credits (but ur still in a Starflier) Then buy another ship from the ship dealer and weapons from the weapon seller. If your satafised with what you have, then save, and use the save editor to go back to New York, Manhattan and kick some asses in your monkeys/robots/nomad ship with your advanced monkeys/nomad/robots weapons .

MPL, I believe that it takes more than 3 days to get the patch up .

Hi guys!

I'm very sorry, but I don't know, why bp did not upload the patch until now. I'll just send him a mail now, to ask, if he maybe forgot it. He has so much to do that I think this can happen sometimes. So don't offend him!!!

I hope the patch will be up soon then.

I'm not at home until sunday, so that I cannot do anything except mailing and posting here, sorry!

Vader: You can of course use your Viper in my mod. I did not get as much new ships as I wanted. Therefore you may want some other new ones. So just try to get them in, but of course I cannot guarantee that the mod will work!

I have to finish now, but I hope I'll be here soon and the patch will be out in the next days.

Have Fun and don't get angry about all this

(For those who don't understand, i said "W00H00!!!!!! THE PATCH IS HERE!!!!!! PARTY!!!!!!!!"

Post Thu Mar 10, 2005 12:47 pm

Yeah, finally the patch is here. Many thanks to bakedpotato for uploading it.

One IMPORTANT thing: You need the patch, even if you downloaded the mod after the 7th of march (this is a mistake in the description I made).

The fixed full version will hopefully be on the side at the end of the next week.

So, enjoy playing the mod, even if the commodity system is not finished totally.
I will work on this as soon as possible.

On sunday, I will finally be back at home. So, see you then!

Hi this is Vader{MERCS}, good to hear from you Captain, i will download the patch just as soon as i've killed a few more 'Nomad' battle-ships.I dont use complete Nav-map mod so i still get to cruise around and find more hidden goodies in 'Monkeys'v1.1(v1.1 still kicks major ass)

Back to blowing-up Outcast Pilot's stranded in space,Vader{MERCS}

Post Fri Mar 11, 2005 4:53 am

So, you're looking for goodies Vader. Very nice!

In the new robot system there are six wrecks (one is very difficult to find, but therefore has good equipment on board)!

So, if you found them all, you are really good

Good luck and see you around!

Incredible job on the mod Black Eagle. Just thought I'd list a couple bugs.
- The two ships with four engine trails during the opening that plays Cure for the Itch are invisible except for the engine trails. I believe it's the Thoth.
- Crusher Ships are invisible except for lights and weapon hardpoints. Visisble on sensors.
- The wreck Mystic is invisble, but not to sensors.
- Possibly the wreck, Slaughterer is invisble as well, will try and confirm later.
- Mystere ships are invisible but not to sensors. Haven't a good close look at one yet.
- And this is a strange one, whenever an NPC radios you instead of the face showing up in the left window showing them talking, a small radiostation with broadcasting lines replaces it. However the voices all play fine, just the animation is missing. A reinstall did not fix that. This one might be something with my Freelancer I think. * It was a problem with my computer, FIXED*
That's it for bugs, again great job Black Eagle!

Edit: Tried to post as little spoilers as possible. Let me know if you need more info.
