Beginner? First port of call then!

SO, this is my first post. I'm pretty much a n00b when it comes to modding, however, I have a couple of specific questions. I have tried searching the forums for the info I saw and then forgot, but I get nothing.

1. I have made the Train ship in my MP server < for me and a buddy to play LAN games on, > and made it available to buy at Manhattan. It shows up on planet, although it is classed as a light fighter. I bought one, left the planet and then...

I appear to be stuck in the planet as the ship is too long for the docking ring, atmosphere zone, etc... but I am actually stuck in the SUN! Wiggled it free, and got out of there! Good thing I upped its hitpoints and bot capacity to 100K and 650, or I wouldn't have survived. With 3 bars of health left.

I also could'nt dock at a space station < the one right off of Manhattan, > it just bumped the station for a while, and you can't skip cutscenes in MP, other than take off. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I have gone back and looked at everything I've changed, and it all seems right. I will post back with the relevant info about it after I play with it some more.

So why would I start in the Sun after undocking? It happened with any ship I tried to leave in.

2. Yes, there's more.
I came across a thread in here that mentioned hidden turret hardpoints on ships, and the example used was the Sabre. It was an example of the computer having access to them, and them being locked to the player, until you edit an ini file. There was a pretty detailed description of how to add one to your game, and I think it was called the Super Sabre??

That is what I am after right now, got lots of stuff to check, and add, bla.

P.S. Props to Chips for stickin with this as long as he has! You rock dude!

Beanybaby,

First off, please don't use all caps. Second, one of the nice features of TLR is the search forums function. If you would've done a bit of searching, you could've found quite a number of tutorials documenting how to edit effects. Here is my old tutorial on how to make weapons and edit effects.

Now, you can't simply copy the Liberty Cruiser forward gun entry for your weapon. It is not in beam_effects.ini. However, if you follow the directions in the tutorial, when you get to the part when you need to edit weapons_ale.ini to add your effect, your entry should look like this:

[VisEffect
nickname = custom_effect
alchemy = fx\weapons\li_cruiser_maingun.ale
effect_crc = -24850011
textures = fx\sarma.txm

You can add as many textures lines as you want. Experiment with them for different looks. However, keep the alchemy and effect_crc as they are listed there.

Can Anyone tell me how to mod the .dll files

i need to change the stats for my mod

Sun Feb 12, 2006 6:56 am by pSYCHO

As far as I can remember, -ve is hostile.

Mod the DLLs to change stats?
Methinks you have the wrong end of the stick, to change stats, you need to either download the SDK or use BINI, but either way the stats are held in the INI files in the DATA folder.

How would one go about adding new missions? For instance, I would very much like to be able to do more than mine, kill or make commodity shipments for making money.

I'd love to be able to ferry passengers to different worlds, or make delivery runs for certain factions, ala "Escape Velocity" (in fact, the EV games are where I got interested in space-games in the first place). In my opinion, this game would be perfect if I could play a Malcolm Reynolds-ish character who takes on passengers and does delivery runs.

Is there already a mod that adds this kind of thing? I did a little checking, but I couldn't come up with anything. And if there isn't already a mod for this, how would I go about adding these kinds of missions?
