Ship classes

adoxa

Attached is a plugin that provides additional values for ship_class. Copy shipclass.dll to your EXE directory and add it to [Libraries] in EXE\dacom.ini. The complete list:

        ship_class     resource         text
            0            923            Light Fighter
            1            924            Heavy Fighter
            2            925            Freighter
            3            926            Very Heavy Fighter
            4            r+0            Gunboat
            5            r+1            Cruiser
            6            r+2            Destroyer
            7            r+3            Battleship
            8            r+4            Capital
            9            r+5            Transport
           10            r+6            Large Transport
           11            r+7            Train
           12            r+8            Large Train
           13            r+9
           14            r+10
           15            r+11
           16            r+12
           17            r+13
           18            r+14
           19            r+15

```"r+" indicates the resource is in shipclass.dll itself, automatically adjusted accordingly.

Sorry to necro this thread but does this happen in-game where you can see these additional shipclass names of the ships on the ship’s window list ?

Thank you.

adoxa

Yes.

wasabitoy

It seems that the shipclass.dll and ShipFilter.dll does not work on my end maybe I’m missing something.

I included both on the dacom.ini and copied both files to exe dir.

I don’t see the text of the ship’s class on a ship when selected.

And also the ship filter - when I look at my contacts window or where all the identities are, you can’t find the player’s name at all and does not cycle or toggle between npc/player/all.

Anything that I might missed please kindly help for a solution.

Thank you.

adoxa

I don’t see the text of the ship’s class on a ship when selected.

Did you actually change [c]shiparch.ini[/c]? E.g. modifying Patriot ([c]li_fighter[/c]): [c]ship_class = 7[/c] shows as Battleship.

And also the ship filter - when I look at my contacts window or where all the identities are, you can’t find the player’s name at all and does not cycle or toggle between npc/player/all.

Click the “Ships” filter to select the ships - this defaults to NPCs; click it again and you should get the players; click it again and you should get both.

wasabitoy

Okay the first plugin I know now where it is being execute. lmao

But the second plugin is still a mystery for my end because I did what you said to click the Ships filter icon again, again and again, still it does not show the player’s name and both at the same time.

adoxa

I don’t know what to tell you.

wasabitoy

Yeah the same ship icon I clicked…

When I click it again it does not show the P1 on top of my list.

adoxa

The only thing I can suggest is check the spew to verify it is actually installed.

wasabitoy

I checked it and the shipfilter.dll is there.

-EDIT-

Does this work in SP ? lol

adoxa

Of course not.

wasabitoy

I see… well it was not stated in the file and even in the website that it is for MP only so maybe include it now for labeling that it is for MP only… lmao…

Anyway thank you for your time for helping me. Appreciate it.
