----TUTORIAL----- adding custom commodities
FLED-IDS
Bini/BiniQDU
Ok decompress and open up goods.ini and find an existing commodity, for instance, gold. Copy the code section for gold and create a copy below it, for this example we will use slaves as our commodity, now simply change all instances of the word gold to the word slaves and change the price to something that you see fit, say 500. Now save and exit.
Then decompress and open up select_equip.ini and find and copy the gold commodity and again change the word gold to slaves, then save select_equip.ini.
Now go to the exe folder of your freelancer game and make a copy of nameresorces.dll and infocards.dll, renaming them my_nameresources and my_infocards respectively, then open up freelancer.ini and under resources add this
DLL = My_nameresources.dll ; my names
DLL = my_infocards.dll ; my infocards
Then save freelancer.ini
Then open up FLED-IDs and in the right hand box labelled res_id to ids_name, choose my_nameresources.dll from the drop down box and enter 1 in the textbox and press convert. Copy the resulting number into the box at the top labelled ids_name. In the large textbox enter the word "slaves" and then hit save ids_name.
Copy the number that you put in the ids name box and paste that into the ids_name field of your commodity in the select_equip.ini file.
Then re-enter fled-ids and choose my_infocards in the right hand drop down box, and enter 1 again, press convert and just leave the number there so that you can see what it is, then in the ids_info box at the top enter the number 65898 and press get ids info, in the big text box change the word GOLD to SLAVES (it is in-between two <text> and </text> statements) and change the description to anything that you like ( between the next two <text> and </text> statements).
When you are done copy the number that you got from the res_id \ids_info box into the ids_info box at the top and press save ids_info. Then copy this number also into the ids_info box in the select equip.ini file under your commodity and you are almost done.
Then decompress and open up market commodities.ini and enter this under any base that you want to:
MarketGood = commodity_slaves, 0, -1, 150, 500, 0, 1.333300 - this last number is the price multiplier for selling and buying this commodity, change this to whatever you want.
Then save this file and voila! you have your very own commodity!
