Random Missions

I'm sure this question has been answered somewhere else, but I've spent a good hour searching for it and (without the search bar) it's frustrating.

Could anyone link me to where the tut is for Random Missions? or inform me on how to do it?

Thanks very much for any help beforehand.

Ok I've found a Random Mission tutorial and it worked for factions like the Corsairs/ Liberty Navy.

But it didn't work for the Nomad Faction. I've went thru the VignetteParams.ini file and have examined it closely. I can't really make any sense out of it, but I think I need to add an entry here to make the Nomad Faction a valid target.

Thanks for any heko beforehand.

I've done some reading, and I think in order for you to be able to do missions against the Nomads you need to create a new copy of the Nomad faction... I've noticed this done in many other mods that had Nomad missions.

Do I need to do this?

and if so, that would require a player wipe on a server, right?

Thanks for any replies

Hi!

I also have a mod (The Monkeys and Monkey Universe), in which you can get missions from and against the Nomads. I personally created a copy of the Nomad Faction and this works perfectly. However this needs definitely a player wipe.

If you don't want to do this, you could try to edit the original Nomad faction. There are some difficulties and maybe small bugs, but mostly not real bad ones and therefore it should be possible to get it done with the original Nomad faction.

However I'm always for mods without any small bug (I know this is not really possible, but at least you should try it) and therefore it would really be better to create a copy of the Nomad faction. This is also way more stable for online play on a server.

If you need help with the faction, you could have a look at my mod and the entries for my new Nomad and Order factions (I cloned both).

Good luck and I hope this helps!
