**Tutorial** - Editing Ship Data/Values/Stats

Fri Apr 11, 2003 11:29 am by carl

as you say that's in the goods ini...

usually you can say if shiparch nick = ge_fighter5 then goods.ini nick = gef_hull

but I don't really know... what I allways to is take the nick of the original falcon and look for it in goods, that will either take you to it's package or it's hull then by the hull or package you can find the other (hull or package...)

have fun.

i think it's the 3d model of the ship, if i'm not mistaken which i am not sure. i'm trying myself to modify it, nothing seems to work so i assume this.. hope it helps.

Hi everyone! Great work on the tutorial!
I have a small problem when trying to modify the level req. for ships. After uncompressing the market_ships configuaration file with bini and changing it I'm unable to make it work. After editing I have a market_ships.ini textfile and when trying to run the game with this it won't work. I read the thread about renaming the file from .ini.txt to just .ini but i don't have a .txt extension on the file even though it is a textfile! Am I just missing something here or what?

Allright, nevermind, my fault, turns out winXP had the old "hide file extensions" activated. Sorry to bother everyone with such a trivial issue. Keep up the good work.

hello,

with regards to me previous post, i guess id really like someone to let me know how to use the bini uncompressor. any "command" i enter makes the program close. i cant get anything to actually make it do something. is there some trick to it?

also once i find out how to uncompress the file and chg it, do i have to recompress it? how do i do that if need be. im really lost guys, any help would be terrific!!

Jack

when your making encounters you have to set up the zone that the ships will appear in... if you want exact details see nelphilms great tutorial about cap ships ... but basically heres the setup

encounter = capitalships_Liberty, 19, 0.50000
faction = li_n_grp, 1.000000

[EncounterParameters
nickname = capitalships_Liberty
filename = missions\encounters\capitalships_Liberty.ini

just replace capship liberty etc with the values for the encounter your creating,

Hello there,

I've been scavenging some info, used a couple of hints dropped here and there, and now I want to start making new ships, just like the Firespray, the X-Wing, the TIEs and whatever other SW or Babylon 5 ships -which suit the FL universe much better, in my own modest opinion- that are hanging around. Fact is: I know so far that FL stores ship mesh and textures in CMP files. Now, how do you actually edit it? Somewhere I read that it could be done with MilkShape 3D, but how? (Ah, by the way, since there's a VAST amount of modders out there, someone wanting to earn some credit could save us a lot of hassle and write a decent guide for us n00bs.)

The weapon points on the bottom of the wings are probably for torpedo/disruptor launchers.

Try adding the following to the existing lines in the shiparch.ini file:

hp_type = hp_torpedo_special_1, HpTorpedo01, HpTorpedo02, HpTorpedo03
hp_type = hp_torpedo_special_2, HpTorpedo01, HpTorpedo02, HpTorpedo03

This will add aditional torpedo/disruptor launcher points

I have done this on th Anubis

My version now has 6 weapon/missile points, a turret, and three tropedo/disruptor pints. In addition I have been able to add two more thrusters.
This makes my thruster speed configurable by selecting the number of thrusters mounted at a base. Of course I also had to edit the thrusters to reduce thier energy usage. Otherwise you only get a couple of seconds of usage.

Any way try adding the Torpedo launchers and see if that fills those mystery hard points
