1: Use the ini extractor downloadable from the lancerreactors website to extract the following files. They are shiparch.ini from the ships folder, engine_equip.ini, goods.ini, market_ships.ini, market_misc.ini, weapon_equip.ini, st_equip.ini, misc_equip.ini, st_good.ini and weapon_good.ini from the equipment folder. Note: this is all found in the data folder.

2: Rename all the extracted files from (original file name).txt.ini to just (original file name).ini

3: Place this line inside the shiparch.ini file:

Lots of guns but the power isn't that impressive. More armor than the Osiris though. This one might have bugs in it so if you encounter any problems, tell me and i'll fix it.

Yey u made it i can have so much fun, just edit prices and power settings and im made, im UNSTOPPABLE, Muhuhahahaha And thanks to you o mighty Wanderer

Thanks

Pigin - Out

A starfighter in dock is safe,
but that's not what they're built for

I tried it but i cant buy the ship.
i can buy all the cannons and shields, but not the main ship.
can you please help me?

well .. can't get the ship buyable .. just didn't inserted in manhatten .. but new london .. and the code is correct O-o#

Wanderer, I'm having great problems with this battleship. I have already installed both the Realistic Osiris Battleship and the Rhineland Gunship. Both work flawlessly. However, when I try to add the Brettonian Battleship - I can buy it, but it cannot equip the brettonian guns, only the Osiris guns, and I cannot launch. When I try to launch in the Brettonian Battleship, I am told that I "cannot launch without an engine". Any idea what's going on? Can both battleships not co-exist?

Yeah, same thing here, try to buy it and it says "Cant launch without engine" and also the guns are not buyable, says I don't have a hardpoint capable of mounting the turrets.

Oops. Made a mistake with step 4 in the goods.ini. It should be fixed now. Sorry but this mod was rushed so i couldn't check everything. As for coexisting mods... i could do that but the tutorial would be incredibly long to incoporate everything. I have the experimental files where i did all my work but its messy and probably buggy. If you really want it, tell me which ones you want to co-exist and i'll do what i can and send you all the related files. It'll be a long while before i'm done though.

I found the errors and here are some workarounds I did until we get an answer from Wanderer. I'm glad to see that I've actually learned something while

For the engine problem, it's with the package file. It seems that the package file determines the initial equip of the ship and the engine equip is there, but it actually is using the wrong command.

It seems he's editied the post because I'm using another browser to look at it for quote reference. It was Equip = blah blah before. Now he has it as addon, which is correct


The second error which he hasn't editied out yet is this: --edit-- he got it now removing this -- edit --

It rocks, a bit of a pain to get docked but it can be done, thanks Wanderer, this ship is awsome! Also I learned a bit about ship making, might try to make a "rent a wreck" with one of the derelect ship models, hehe.

oops, looks like you got that last error too, sorry! Just figured it out myself right before you made the changes. =)

Wanderer? Are the MAIN guns of this battleship supposed to do 50 damage? Also, it's still bugged. When I buy the ship, the guns come equipped - but if I sell the brettonian guns, I can't buy new ones.

The guns have had the power upped but watch out for the radius of the flak guns. Also, you should be able to buy and sell guns normally now. Only battleship class ones though.

i have this problem with all the battleships, whenever i try to go through a jump gate it crashes before i get to the other end. i see the cutscene but thats as far as it goes. i haven't tried jump holes though.
