Help With a New Mod

Wed Jun 11, 2003 3:40 am by Cella Dor

Well, just hanging around here bout the past week, looking and readings, then finally downloading bini =P Gave me a few mod ideas Id love to play.
I was always interested in the "mining" aspect of freelancer, but it was never quite profitable or lucrative enough. I was wondering if any of you modders out there would let me know if and how these things are possible.

-Making different asteroid fields produce more/less then other ones.
-Making one "capsule" (the things you mine) produce random or multiple items
-Renaming the Rapier weapon and possibly changing the damage

I would also like to know if any modelers out there would like to make a ship, or someone tell me of a ship i could download that looks like it could be a miner.

Sorry for asking so much, just got caught up in the rush of ideas =)
Appreciate any help given, and I'll try to "give back to the community" soon =D!

"-Making different asteroid fields produce more/less then other ones."

They already can, and do. Each field has a chance of loot appearing when you shoot a little rock, diamonds in dresden for example show up about 1 in 12 I think it was whereas scrap metal in sigma 13 is 1 in 3 or 4.

"-Making one "capsule" (the things you mine) produce random or multiple items"

That's a cool idea but I don't think you can do that, you might be able to make a field contain more than one "capsule" by overlaying different minable zones though. Check out one of the tutorials on creating systems they may go into that, I haven't messed around with that part too much yet.

"-Renaming the Rapier weapon and possibly changing the damage"

Thats an easy one, lots of tutorials on changing weapons and editing names are only a quick search away.

"I would also like to know if any modelers out there would like to make a ship, or someone tell me of a ship i could download that looks like it could be a miner."

The game comes with a big 'ole miner ship already included, you just have to make it flyable. Unless you want something smaller... sorry, can't help you there.
