You need to add attachment_archetype entries to the goods. Didn’t read the instructions quite close enough. I would think engine_good.ini is the ideal place to put them (that’s what I used for testing).

Even though you do need attachment_archetype, that’s not what’s causing this problem. You should not be seeing the engine doubled, as shown in the first pic. Works fine for me, copying your goods entries, but using the normal Patriot equipment. I don’t know, did you actually replace the addon line, not add a new one? Can’t really think of anything else, other than a conflict with another plugin, but that would probably just crash.

Regarding hardpoints, for the third version I was hoping to create “dynamic” hardpoints, at least for the internal equipment. A quick test using non-existent HpPower shows it could work. Since I didn’t find out how to add it to the ship itself, I think it’d be easier to specify the additional hardpoints in another ini file (DATA\EQUIPMENT\hp_type.ini). That would allow for meaningful tractor beam, scanner, armor and power hardpoint names without needing to modify all the ships (assuming HpEngine01 is already available).

double mount bug?

And btw - GREAT WORK.

It’s a .dll conflict after some altering of the load order It works… but then breaks the Multicruise… hmm…

Placing it before works and engine mounts (with sound) but all my engines are set to my constant.

Placing it after means the Multicruise works… but then the Engine won’t mount properly and is confusing (not for me… but for any that would be “playing” the mod…)

I can live with the bug… 8-) Just thought i’d tell what i just found…
Other than that… its all sweet

I’ve updated the attachment again. Put MultiCruise.dll first, then engclass.dll and all should be well.

Sweet… thanks a zillion for fixing this conflict… but she ain’t there m8ty… Been over 12 hour now… something go wrong?

Gonna play with your Territory and gatelock .dlls today… I’ll let ye know if any more problems occur, not that there should be… Multicruise conflict makes sense… nothing else in my dacom that “should” interfere with the extras.

Thankx Adoxa

Oops, I copied the original attachment link, not the updated one. Fixed the link in the previous message. You could just have gone back to the message and got the attachment directly…

Don’t tell me… It was sitting on your site the whole time…

Ba!hahahahahahaha… silly me…

EDIT: Did as ye say… but immediately after changing the load order i now get CTD’d untill Multicruise is placed back after the engclass…

Any chance of of you two guys getting together and compiling the works in the near future? Or something of the like…

Shame on me. :oops: This one will work.

Works great now

Did i spot a freighter class in the source… is that working at moment?

Here’s what I currently plan to do with the hardpoints, so you can start planning yourself… The types available are:

• hp_EQUIP_special
• hp_EQUIP_special_N
• hp_TYPE_EQUIP_special
• hp_TYPE_EQUIP_special_N

where N is from 1 to 20; TYPE is one of fighter, elite, freighter, capital; and EQUIP is one of gun, missile, turret, torpedo, disruptor, mine, cm, shield, thruster, power, engine, tractor, scanner, armor, user1 to user5. By default, gun will still be labeled as Gun/Missile and torpedo as Torpedo/Disruptor, but an option will override that. Another option will allow remapping classes 11 to 20 as 1 to 10, or having four groups of five (you’ll have to rename the actual labels yourself, though). Finally, there will be “softpoints”, which are the dynamic hardpoints mentioned earlier.

Excellent. This is exactly what the doctor ordered. I’m looking forward to integrating this into Shattered Worlds War Torn when you release it.

Looking at all those…that’s 1955 new hp_types - what have I done?

Something that’s been needing to be done for some time.

So True… You’ll hear no complaints from me on the matter… hehe

Did you ever finish this? Is this a part of EngClass2.zip? The reason I ask is… I was going to hold off on implementing this into SWWT unless you decide you’re not wanting to invest any more time into it. In which case, I’ll implement it as is.

Haven’t started yet - the single-player command console ended up being a bit more than originally intended, plus a couple of sidetracks along the way… ATM I’ve got multiple ships working (so now you can own a fighter and a freighter) and am deciding how to handle transfer between ships (at this stage, it looks like I won’t). Then I want to be able to jump to another system. Then I’ll do the hard points.

LOL! Looks like a hefty to-do list. Good stuff in it too!

Thanks for the update!
