engine mod error?
hi, i've done some changes to the engines and the tractor beam
but i cant test them.. below r the changes i made and which files were modded
what this causes is make the game crash as soon as the 3 start movies finish playing, right after the FREELANCER logo disappears...
any ideas what i've done wrong?
misc_equip.ini
[Power
nickname = br_elite_power01
ids_name = 263724

lootable = false ;<-- what would it do if i changed this?

color = 250.000000, 100.000000, 100.000000 ;<-- changed the color to something like red, i think. didnt get to test it yet because of the crash

linear_drag = 599 ;<-- decided not to change this.. i didnt know what it'd do to the rest of the ships' speed/whatever

cruise_charge_time = 1 ;<-- changed from 5.. could have made it 0 to make it an instant cruise speed, but... i didnt want 100% instantenuity(sp?).. can i use decimals for this? like .5 instead of 1 for it to take half a second to chargeup?
cruise_power_usage = 10 ;<-- changed from 20... not sure what this does, but it seems obvious enough o_<
character_start_sound = engine_br_fighter_start
character_loop_sound = engine_br_fighter_loop

cruise_backfire_sound = cruise_backfire
indestructible = true ;<-- i also changed this... i dont know if it matters or not, but i really dont like it when im under heavy fire and i cant use my booster anymore... heh
outside_cone_attenuation = -3
inside_sound_cone = 60
outside_sound_cone = 180
i made some notes about where i changed and what i changed it from.. made the changes bold
basically the ship i have is the bretonia heavy fighter - the one that looks like a type of an alien waterfrog... or something..... lol
have i done anything wrong?
have i forgotten to edit any other files?
have i not edited anything i would need to edit in these files?
edit: these are the only entries i edited in these files.. the game started to crash after i edited them - i dont think it was the engine_equip.ini file, mostly because i had forgotten to move the original file to the backup and rename the un-encrypted one..... heh
so im guessing its the misc_equip.ini file....?
if anyone could please point out what i did wrong..... or whatelse needs to be changed.... it'd be very much appreciated
~x marks the spot. step and burn!
