Upgradeable engines?

Ok... I grasp how to make power plants upgradeable, and armor, etc... ( I think)

But is there a way to allow players to sell their engines and get a new one?

On a side note, could we do the same thing with running lights?

Hmm... Silence. Well, I think I may have figured it out myself... If it works (and based on the way it looks like the ship's equipment works, it should) I'll let you all know. Gonna be SERIOUSLY tedious, though. Anyone wanna help do the file editing?

(PS I'm working on a hopefully releasable mod which would include this feature, and any help would be appreciated)

Let me tell you if you get this working ppl here like me ...will flock

Nope... thought I had it... But apparently Freelancer won't let you sell anything labelled an engine and won't let anything not labeled an engine (other than trusters) Affect the speed. Oh well. Who wants to take a crack at the exe?

@ myrkul999,most of the larger mods allow you buy new engines, you just can't sell the old one,most players unmount the old one,attach the new engine and launch,they then jettison the old one in space,usually for a spot of target practice.

And it works? the speed, etc Changes?

I was able to make engines sellable but if people just jettison their engines would this still be wanted?

Alcander, you MUST tell us how you did this!!!

Do, and you will gain millions (well, maybe a couple hundred) devoted worshipers

Ok. See my post here in the General Editing forum. I plan to release this but I'm not sure I want to release it separately or as a sort of update with the other "fixes" to Freelancer. Your input would be appreciated.

Just thought I'd post that I uploaded the patch to allow sellable engines in the other forum. Hopefully BP will put it on the frontpage in a day or so. Here's a link.
