Can''t use shields when launching with modded ship

Fri Jan 07, 2005 6:11 pm by Varmint260

I'm just learning how to mod, and I put the repair ship into the game. Everything is fine, I get a thruster and a shield, and they equip no problem, but when I launch, they disappear, and I have no thruster or shield on my ship! As soon as I dock at any station or planet, it says I have them equipped. HELP!

i have never seen this before..... i take it you have the shiparch.ini with :
hp_type = hp_thruster, HpThruster
shield_link = bw_freighter_shield01, HpMount, HpShield
hp_type = hp_fighter_shield_special_1, HpShield

?

other then that i'm not sure what is causing your problem

shield_link = l_fighter_shield01, HpMount, HpEngine01, HpShield01
hp_type = hp_thruster, HpThruster01

It looks EXACTLY like that. Maybe ShipScripter is to blame?

From that, can you tell me what's wrong?

Oh, and is this amount of shield entries really necessary?

hp_type = hp_fighter_shield_special_8, HpShield01
hp_type = hp_fighter_shield_special_7, HpShield01
hp_type = hp_fighter_shield_special_6, HpShield01
hp_type = hp_fighter_shield_special_5, HpShield01
hp_type = hp_fighter_shield_special_4, HpShield01
hp_type = hp_fighter_shield_special_3, HpShield01
hp_type = hp_fighter_shield_special_2, HpShield01
hp_type = hp_fighter_shield_special_1, HpShield01

Did you add the correct hardpoints in the cmp file?

OOPS, no you did not.
you need to add a hardpoint for the shield and the thruster and not attach them to existing hardpoints
