Engine''ID not match Ship''s ID?

Wed May 21, 2003 2:36 pm by Fragordie

I read this from Editing Forums:
Equip Engine.ini - Effects the engine of each ship. Use ship ID to find it.
Max Power / Linear Drag = Max speed, so 50000 / 100 = 500 normal speed
Reverse Faction - .5 gives half of max speed backwards...etc...
Cruise Charge Time - How long it takes till you to charge cruise.
Cruise Power Usage - How much power cruise uses.

The numbers you quoted are just string resource identifiers (for pulling localized text from a .dll); they are not suitable for determining the relationship between game data records. For that you have to use the keys (nicknames).

As a rule, the nickname entry in a section gives the primary key for the object being defined in that section, and other sections refer to this object/archetype via this identifier or via a crummy 32-bit hash of that identifier (in savegames).

Below you can see how you get from the ship archetype for the Patriot to the definition of the engine it is sold with. Filenames and primary keys are bold, foreign keys (i.e., references to things defined elsewhere) are italic. I used squigglies instead of square brackets for the section names because square brackets have a special meaning for the forum script.

<pre>; ships/shiparch.ini
{Ship}
nickname = li_fighter
ids_name = 237034
; string 237034 == "Patriot"
... ship archetype data ... </pre>

<pre>; equipment/goods.ini
{Good}
nickname = lf_hull
category = shiphull
ship = li_fighter
... </pre>

<pre>{Good}
nickname = lf_package
category = ship
hull = lf_hull
addon = ge_lf_engine_01 , internal, 1
... </pre>

<pre>; equipment/engine_equip.ini
{Engine}
nickname = ge_lf_engine_01
ids_name = 263687
; string 263687 == "Liberty Fighter Engine"
... engine data ... </pre>

BTW, you should have posted your question in one of the editing/modding forums. That's what they are for.
