Setting max cargo loot

Sun Aug 06, 2006 3:31 pm by Mace_166

I've had a look through some tutorials and i'm trying to increase the maximum amount of cargo that can drop from a ship. I've heard somewhere that it is an entry in constants.ini, bit i still need to know the actual entry.
Does anybody know the entry?

Err.. bump. Did anybody know the constants entry?

You probably heard of this about constants.ini
MAX_PLAYER_AMMO = 50
or this
MAX_LOOT_PER_ASTEROID = 3

I don't know any entry that is used for loot dropped by npc

But there is a solution !
This one:

open DATA\MISSIONS\LootProps.ini
[PhantomLoot
nickname = ge_s_repair_01
toughness_range = 0, 1
percent_chance = 16 <================= increase these values everywhere
num_to_drop = 1, 1

Cheers Kryben, but what i'm looking for is for transport ships and destroyable base to drop all of their cargo. Not just the 30 units or so it gives you. I guess i might be able to do this by fuses, but i was hoping to do it from constants.ini

lol, ok, nah, dunnow how to do that.

edit: or wait, maybe just the line below: num_to_drop = 1, 1
first value is the minimum, second value is the maximum
.... dunnow, worth a try

Phantom loot is a bit different it is extra loot that appears as magic when the ship is destroyed. Its not the same as dropping normal cargo.

Is using the player loot fuses for NPC ships an option?

Well, you can add the dump_cargo entry into the fuses. But, it still doden't drop everything. It might be linked to the difficulty level.

Did you guys figure out how to increase the cargo drop?
