Conventional Modding

yes i know how to run a test server i used to host the evil empire revolution server thats until i was down to only one computer. that has windows 7 and ipv 6 address wont seem to disappear. so i am doing work that can be used on both,

Well, its always good to try! I’ll check it out when I have time for that.

Thx everyone I’ve now got the landing pads firing on enemy NPC’s and player characters as well result!

Thx again CK256

you can put people in there if you want to.

I actually downloaded 88 Flak to have a look at this and i have to say after applying some of the values with the supplied formula, makes a hell of a difference. My npc freighters have stopped their silly waggling which was annoying the crap out of me. Some very useful information i have to say 🙂

Not to mention trading / tractoring bots.

Problem solved…
Typo in commodities_per_faction.

program newbie, so looks i need take some time for this, thanks for your help.

This seems to be fixed. After my test, ST and Syd is right and i already done some “voice” for organisms in my mod.

Yeah, the ArchDB messages would probably be the pertinent ones. And MP3 Codec Fix should take care of the codec messages.

when you go into prison base mitchell its empty but i changed that when i made the order mod that is where i am copying this from. i dont remember if in the order mod the base shows up because i have not played that mod in a long time. so i will leave it as a secret place that only the brave player should know.

@StarTrader: Did you not see this? It doesn’t matter what the numbers add up to, it’s taken relative to the total (1+1+1+1 = 4 -> 1/4 -> 1 in 4; 0.25+0.25+0.25+0.25 = 1 -> 0.25/1 -> 1 in 4).

Nope. OK, good to know. Again what we thought we knew is not! lol

an alternative could be using the new mission tool. hopefully it allows more customization than elder tools like faction or weapon creator…

My tool edits existing missions, theres no empty mission template (its really easy to make one out of m01.init or m02.ini and the next version will have the template built in).

And DVDMan, not building on the work of others is irrational and self defeating. You can get a lot more done by using existing knowledge and expanding upon that than by doing everything yourself. Of course you could be the kind of person who codes in assembly to avoid using the work of others (APIs, Operating Systems) to make their life easier.

See this regarding faction and faction_weight.

also, this is the box-shaped path to the exclusion zone around the gate. the “gate room” is an ellipsoid and can be modified just the same as well.

I still can’t get the ConVex tool to work, which is a problem because I need it to make a good hitbox quickly, but at least it actually tells me that Milkshape has stopped working now. The SUR and CMP exporters seem to work, on the other hand. Seems to be a plugin conflict that’s causing all these bugs and crashes.

I suggest to use 1.8.x versions, the 1.7.x versions were very unstable, i had same problems with them.
The 1.8.2, 1.8.4, 1.8.5 are much better, and reliable.

So, a smaller zone within a larger zone would have it’s own distinct damage value independent of the damage in the greater enveloping zone?

I’ll give it a try to see what happens.

Should be easy to make your own?

You might also take an interest in doing ids_names and ids_infos with FLMM’s XML-generates scripts. You can use that for almost everything, except faction names and names of asteroid fields and nebula’s (if there are random mission vignettes in them)

This saves you the pain of keeping track of what number corresponds to what string.
