Help needed Error checking my MOD (German)

[J.R.]

Question:
How can I define an extra HP in ships. ini for a mountable “Token”
without making it a HP for Thrusters, Shields, Armor, Scanners,
Power supplies,.Tractors or Weapons since I allready use all these types of HP
for equipment and don´t want to enable players to mount
2 Power supplies for example…
Think you folks know what i mean… hope so

Edit:
I did these Tokens as commodities to work as access_code to dock via FLHook.
The downside is: you loose em when you die. thats why i ask you for
a solution to this Problem.

[J.R.]

Hmmm… seems like there is nobody with an idea to this…

[Gisteron]

define them as hardpoints for eg powerless thrusters or cargo pods.

[J.R.]

as cargopods would be nice…
where do they show up for the player and will they still
be there after you died?

And… may I ask you for an example how to do this?

Or… is it possible to exclude some commodities from death
penalty in MP ? Maybe with something like FLHOOK ?
or…is it just a brainfart
I know… I am kind of ridiculous compared to other modders…

[J.R.]

Problem solved.
Made them as “mountable” shieldbats and it works fine.
Think I´ll be back soon with more to ask you folks…
THX anyway to everyone here for the help so far.

Hello again.
After doing some kind of “BETA-TESTING” on my Server I got pretty
satisfied with my MOD so far…
BUT…(as you already asumed) there are a couple of things
I want to change. and any help would be welcome… VERY WELCOME !!!

First:

Does anybody know how to reveal the whole vanilla Map for new MPs
in general at startup ? (without editing their chars with a Server Editor
like IONCROSS or something equal)

[Gisteron]

if i got you right you want to edit what the character is like on beginning of MP. therefore you can use the .\data\characters\newcharacter.ini file and the .\exe\mpnewcharacter.fl files.

[J.R.]

Yes… right so far…
Want to give all ew players the Maps Infos and Locations of the vanilla systems at startup. do i have to add every single Base and and and… ???

[Gisteron]

well you can edit the .\data\universe\universe.ini for each system and base to always do show up on the navmap. that’s less characters to type but still some little work to do.

[J.R.]

Another Problem occured
Made a PvP Arena System and everything works fine exept:
If you checkout the chatloog or if you change your character and have a look
on the charlist the locationsystem of character in the ARENA
isnt displayed …
Wierd to me… checked the universe.ini allready:

[system]
nickname = AR01
file = systems\AR01\AR01.ini
pos = -1, 0
visit = 0
strid_name = 470117
ids_info = 0
NavMapScale = 3
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_AR01

Help would be very welcome !!!
