Wait, nevermind I found out how to make the Orion handle how I want it to thanks!

Since there is a request to make the weapons and power systems more realistic, i've posted some info about it. The numbers correspond with the tutorial so just replace those steps with these:
4: Now open up the goods.ini and place this line:
[Good
nickname = or_dreadnaught
category = shiphull
ship = or_dreadnaught_ship
price = 15000000
ids_name = 12018
item_icon = Equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\bw_freighter.3dba

[Good
nickname = or_dreadnaught_package

hull = or_dreadnaught
addon = ge_s_scanner_01
addon = capital_power
addon = ge_s_tractor_01
addon = ge_obat_engine_01
addon = sfx_rumble_battleship

7: After that go to the weapon_equip.ini and place this line:
[Munition

hp_type = hp_gun

13: Open up the misc_equip.ini and place this line in
[Power

volume = 0.000000

material_library = equipment\models\hardware.mat
capacity = 50000
charge_rate = 2500
thrust_capacity = 1000
thrust_charge_rate = 100
lootable = false

By now you should have corrected energy capacities and the weapons will consume large portions of energy. The primary guns will smash anything they touch but are power hungry. The defense guns can chew any starter fighter up with their high fire rate but have relatively low effect against better ships. The missile turrets fire high agility torpedo class weapons with huge area effect but they have some blind spots and take the longest to reload

is this for the demo or full version

Now can someone send me the changed INI FILES??

Can't you create an installation file for it, 'cause i can't get it to work....i have checked it several times for errors, but my server allways crashes.

Post Thu Mar 13, 2003 11:13 pm

damn! i just installed FL again and the server still crashes, so it has nothing to do with the mod....

Post Thu Mar 13, 2003 11:40 pm

I was trying to get the missles to have real ammo. But It seems I suck at it and couldn't. I'll show you what I added. I mean.. (Its from the older version, not the power hungry energy one.. I think that the missles are damn strong, so this is why I wanted to make it like that.)

In market_misc it is now: (AMMO is there.. for ammo buying...)


[BaseGood
base = Li01_01_base
MarketGood = shield01_mark10_cap, 0, -1, 10, 10, 0, 1
MarketGood = or_battleship_turret01, 0, -1, 10, 10, 0, 1
MarketGood = or_battleship_turret04, 0, -1, 10, 10, 0, 1
MarketGood = or_battleship_missile_turret01, 0, -1, 10, 10, 0, 1
MarketGood = or_battleship_missile_turret01_ammo, 0, -1, 50, 50, 0, 1

Basicly, all I needed to edit I think in weapons_equip is the missle turret... So I did.. This is the code I changed around a bit...

Ok.. last of all ... In the Weapons_goods...

Thats what I did.. When I play, it doesnt appear.... Any reasons?

Post Thu Mar 13, 2003 11:54 pm

Err I mean.. It DOES appear, the missle gun and all.. but not the ammo, but when i go to the ammo buying selection screen... Nothing is there but a missle that has no name and below it has no missles loaded, so its at 0... So its bascily a no named missle with a marking of 0 ammo loaded.. But there isn't no selection on the right side for that ammo....

(How do i name the missle btw?)

Post Fri Mar 14, 2003 12:22 am

hmm yes, i am having the exact same problem =/

Post Fri Mar 14, 2003 12:37 am

Odd, I though It would work..
We're missing something here.. But I'm clueless....

I might get started on trying get a gunship in... which would be nice, right?

Post Fri Mar 14, 2003 1:32 am

I'm about half-done a gunship. RHEINLAND Gunship that is.. Does this gunship have any special guns? I want to know how to finds its normal guns.. I mean.. The picture and all the stuff is in. Like power and crap.. But I'm not positive about the guns.

How man guns should it have?

Post Fri Mar 14, 2003 3:07 am

I tried to put ammo in but experienced the same problem. Thats why i gave it a slow reload and made it energy hungry. As for posting the files for downloads. Could you guys point me to a site for posting the files. It won't be an installer since i don't have the tools or knowledge to make one but it'll be the modded files i used for this tutorial.

Post Fri Mar 14, 2003 3:18 am

Odd.. Well.. I'm getting a site soon, maybe in a week or two.. Making it for Freelancer, so then I'll put a "ADD FILE" button for peeps. But for now, I aint sure where to put files...

Go to http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/forum/t ... cer&M=True Wanderer... Maybe you can help me with my Gunship problem.. I used the battleship template...

Post Fri Mar 14, 2003 3:33 am

If your talking about the gunboat then i'll give you a little help. Give me a little while. I will test the whole thing out and place an entire gunboat tutorial for you at the thread you mentioned. But it will take a few hours. Will that do?

Post Fri Mar 14, 2003 3:58 am

Yes, Thank you.
