Newbie help

Not sure what u mean but lets take a turret.
In the shiparch.ini hast each ship its own [section] there are also defined the hartpoints and clases each hardpoint u want to use from your model must be listed for every lv.
Lets take a BS from my mod:
hp_type = hp_turret_special_10, HpTurret01, HpTurret02, HpTurret03, HpTurret04, HpTurret05, HpTurret06, HpTurret07, HpTurret08
hp_type = hp_turret_special_9, HpTurret01, HpTurret02, HpTurret03, HpTurret04, HpTurret05, HpTurret06, HpTurret07, HpTurret08

In this example i use the first 8 Turret hardpoints out of 12, and i can only mount lv 9-10 turrets in these HP’s.

Now take a turret from weapon_equipt.ini

There u can find such a line on most guns torps turrets u can buy, some npc stuff and story btw bs stuff has no classes but dont worry about them your stuff will need this line:

hp_gun_type = hp_turret_special_10

Now this defines our BS turret as class 10 turret

hp_gun_type = hp_turret_special_5

This would be a lv 5 turret, just alter the hp_gun_type, u can also make your turret and gun by using the gun nick but than u should change the model or u would have a gun looking like a turret.

Hope that helps

Took slightly longer than I would’ve liked, but nevertheless I thought I’d do at least most of the Wiki’s page for [[MDB:weapon_equip.ini]]
