Fraid unable to sticky at this time, server error in database commands :/

When i want to look at something it does not work. WHY?

I wanted to look at ** Tutorial ** - MP Starting setups for players. But guess what, i got this error:

error '80020009'

/t/forum/topic.asp, line 34
....
And that always comes up when i nearly want to look at something i need info on.

seems to be the only one, but let me know about any others. i replaced it with a link to my own tutorial on the subject - it is probably not exactly what you're looking for but it covers a little of how that stuff actually works

oh yeah, its not very good or comprehensive but most people who have used my cvfc-mod code for their own mods got the feel for it. it doesn't cover the main thing people want to know which is starting ship/loadout and thats simple - just look in newcharacter.ini's "package" entry and change the actual shiparch/loadout under ge_fighter
