I think also when you run out of "power", you can't go into cruise either.

Hi, I'm kinda new to FL but I'm not bad at modding games. I was wondering how would change the level requirement for this train, It works but I don't want the stupid level 4 requirement, it would be greatly appreciated.

Go to DATA/EQUIPMENT/market_ships.ini and go to the base where the ship is sold. Find the nickname of the ship and change the 4 to a 0. Here's an example for the Bretonian Freighter:

marketgood = bfr_package, 4, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1

Turn it into this:

marketgood = bfr_package, 0, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1

The first number is the level requirement of the ship, and the second is the reputation requirement. The next 4 numbers tell you if the ship can be sold (1, 1, 0, 1) or not (0, 0, 1, 1), and the last number is the price modifier (if you make it 2, it'll cost 2x as much, if you make it 0.5, it will cost half as much).

Hi there,
FL is a truly astounding game. However I need better weapons. Please please tell me hoe to create a new torpedo launcher with following specifics:
Hull damage: 999999
Shield damage: 999999

Speed and turning abilities equal to a wasp missile but does not use ammo; only drains energy at a rate of 200 per shot and can be refired every 0.25 seconds.

I want it available for buying at Manhattan for the price of $1000.
Also it should be by default given to me along with the startflier juni gives me. I know the starflier hasn't got a torpedo hard point so this new weapon could be just a missile launcher instead of torpedo launcher. I want to name it as "The RA Plasma Torpedo/Missile". Pls pls pls give me the necessary codes as soon as possible. I have installed a new copy of FL and am ready to mod.

Regards
Neil

By the way, I am an ABSOKUTELY newbie in modding. Please provide line-byline codes so that I just copy n paste and bingo. Lol. I don't want to really understand what code does what. Just copy n paste n save n play. haha.

why not learn it? itll make you feel better about yourself



Get yer hosting!

I asked for instructions too. But the instructions must start from installing FL and till the end in minute details. lol. Because I dunno anything about modding. Usually in the string there is always a hint but no real instruction. I am a biology student and am not expected to know codes and programs and things. But I love FL as much as any of you do.

You guys need to read the tutorials in the tutorials forum - all this stuff is explained there. Try the thread called "Compilation of Tutorials" or "Tutorial Compilation" - it's all there!

If, in ST_good.ini, i change the "combinable = false" to "combinable = true"(shown below)on the shields will i be able to mount as many as i like or will i have to make additional hard point for every shield i want on the ships?

this is the code:

[Good
nickname = shield01_mark01_lf
equipment = shield01_mark01_lf
category = equipment
price = 1000
item_icon = equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\EQUIPICON_shieldgen.3db
combinable = false
ids_name = 263789
ids_info = 264789
shop_archetype = equipment\models\st\li_refractor_shield.3db
material_library = equipment\models\li_equip.mat

Hello, I'm new to the community but not to Freelancer. Me and a few friends have started making a mod for it. I have found most of the answers to my questions throughout this site and like to say that everyone has done a great job. It has certainly made the mod making for me easy thus far. However I do have a few questions that I was unable to find answers to.

1) Would it be possible to make a device of some sort for a ship that makes it stop instantly? The reason I ask is because my mod will feature inertial physics and that sometimes takes away from the fun of the game, so I would like to create an "anchor" that would stop your movement in all directions. Is this possible and how?

2) Now I have found this in the forums, but I was unable to find a definite answer. Is setting up bases that can be captured possible? Is there a way to change a base's faction owner with an in game trigger of some sort? If this has a definite answer elsewhere just point me towards it. Thanks.

3) Is it possible to have a player when he/she dies respawn with a preset amount of money every time? (Now this one I haven't check into but I figured I'd ask now.)

4) Is it possible to have certain items in the game only usable by a character that possess a certain license/item? I would like to have military ranks in my mod and each rank gets a license that they carry. This way the higher the rank a character is the more access he/she has to items and ships. Ex. A Lt. couldn't use a nuke but say an Admiral could because of his rank license would allow it.

5) Is it possible to have a certain effect that can break radar locks or jam locks temporarily? For example I would like to create a Nuclear Weapon that would also deal damage and in a large effect radius break target locks temporarily due to its emp.

Those about all the questions I have left before I start putting everything together for my mod. I'd like to say thanks ahead of time for whoever answers these.

Thanks.

Great idea, but what would be the rules for a player to obtain a rank- depending on his level ? If that's so you could make the licenses a buyable good (item) at certain levels corresponding to the rank the player achieved and make correspondent usable items for that rank be buyable only an the corresponding level (for that certain rank)... dunno
egz: level 10-25 Lt. License (for using li_gun01_mark01, li_gun01_mark02,
li_gun02_mark01, li_gun02_mark02)
and make those items be buyable only for minimum level 10 players.

But anyway my solution it's kind of stupid
