Infocards

Can someone knowledgeable about things tell me how to create infocards from scratch for new ships in the WTS mod?

1.)Get a copy of Fled-IDs from the DL section

2.)Make a new IDS (number) for each of the entries

3.) the BIGGEST thing...get permission to do this from the authors of the WTS mod before releasing this...they put lots of hard work into their mod

Another easy way....just use...FLEd-IDS and change the info on the current infocard to your custome names and stats and stuff.

have fun!

The stickied threads are supposed to stand out somewhat - attract attention etc.

If you read the second one - the one that proclaims to know it all, you would have found FLED-IDS download, along with the FLED-IDS tutorial.

If those aren't good enough, then a quick search of this forum may help as well - the search button is up yonder --->> Search Forums <<---

Once you have a good read/practice - then start asking conciese questions, because there is no point someone repeating what has been posted before!!

Clay - don't worry about it! Always have to point the threads out to everyone. They are LONG threads to have to read through - just need someone to let you know its not a waste of time to search through the stuff - as the answers ARE there.
However, get stuck or can't find it - then post away

Sorry for butting in here, but all the ships in WTS are in script format. Only need to open them up and amend the ship description section like this:

ids_info = 0 ;GENERATEXMLRES("<xml><RDL><PUSH/><TEXT/><PARA/><TRA data="1" mask="1" def="-2"/><JUST loc="center"/><TEXT>Stats</TEXT><PARA/><TRA data="0" mask="1" def="-1"/><JUST loc="left"/><TEXT/><PARA/><TEXT>Guns/Turrets: 5/2</TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>Armor: 15000</TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>Cargo Holds: 60</TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>Max Batteries/NanoBots: 100/100</TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>Optimal Weapon Class: 10</TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>Max. Weapon Class: 10</TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>Additional Equipment: M, CM</TEXT><PARA/><PARA/><POP/></RDL></xml>"
ids_info1 = 0 ;GENERATEXMLRES("<xml><RDL><PUSH/><TRA data="1" mask="1" def="-2"/><JUST loc="center"/><TEXT>Marsflyer</TEXT><PARA/><TRA data="0" mask="1" def="-1"/><JUST loc="left"/><TEXT></TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>During the invasion in 1953, the aliens mounted their first truly global invasion of Earth. Their cylinders were landing all over the globe, attacking and destroying major cities (amazingly and quickly rebuilt to their former glory afterward).The Marsflyer was one of the main invasion ships.</TEXT><PARA/><TEXT></TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>Structurally, the aliens are more like jellyfish than mammals. By examining DNA molecules, it appears that the aliens possess humans by using a cell phase matching technique. The aliens cells literally overtake the human cells through osmosis. As a result, they have access to the host body's intelligence, and can control them physically. And yet there is no outward way for anyone to know.</TEXT><PARA/><POP/></RDL></xml>"

This is taken from the Marsflyer from WTS. Obviously the other way is to follow the instructions from the previous posts. Good thing about WTS is the fact the ships are all scripted making them easy to edit.

Even adding new ship infocards WTS uses this format so should be easy to apply to other ships.
