Nonlogical problem

Tue May 30, 2006 10:41 am by Force of Will

Hi all, I need help with editing
I have installed evolutions mod 1.30 in my Freelancer
when I try to change some in the game, I do it through ini files.
If I change anything in ini files, it will affect the game
BUT if I change something in shiparch.ini , it will do nothing and game acts as I did nothing with shiparch.ini
example: I changed in shiparch.ini number of max. nano bots/shield batteries, and in game? no effect - I can't buy more Nano bots/shield bat. than before.
how is this possible?

Are you sure?
Your problem could be thus:

What you change in shiparch.ini only changes what is actually the max whatever. However, the game will still show the original stats, because stats are controlled by dlls. If you see a GENERATE... line in the ids_info thing for the ship, it is a little different.

To check whether this is your problem, buy max nanos at the dealer, and take off, if the number in your HUD is different than the number in the info, then you successfully altered the max, and need to change the in-game stats.

as a dedicated debugger and technophile, let me offer some stupid advice

do you know for sure which fighter in-game corresponds to a shiparch :p~

have you installed freelancer twice, in two different locations?

did you check to see if shiparch.ini is read only

if a shiparch has two max bot/batt entries(or any duplicate entries, in FLs ini's) then the last one, from top-to-bottom, is used

This is your actual reason right here.

Any player ship is actually started with a player_ prefix:

eg:
player_ge_fighter6 (or something like that) for the eagle.

It's best to match up the ship from the market_ships.ini and goods.ini files first.

dedicated debugers and technophilers, you were right, because I find in shiparch.ini two duplicate entries, and I had changed in shiparch.ini only top entry

by this was problem fixed

many thanks you all for help
