How adding cargo pods on a battleship?

okay… from scratch

any equipment file:[CargoPod] nickname = <custom name="">DA_archetype = <your direction="">\liberty_dreadnought_realisme_extention.cmp material_library = <your direction="">\liberty_dreadnought_realisme_extention.mat LODranges = 0, <farplane>HP_child = <a hardpoint="" of="" the="" extension="" model="">hit_pts = <irrelevant 1="" as="" it="" has="" no="" .sur="" file="" -="" make="" or="" so="">mass = 2000 explosion_arch = <any explosion="" defined="" in="" weapon_equip.ini="" or="" explosions.ini="">debris_type =</any></irrelevant></a></farplane></your></your></custom> <a hardpoint=“” of=“” the=“” extension=“” model=“”>the only thing now is in the loadout to add```
equip = <value of=“” “nickname”-parameter=“”>,</value>

i read about adding hardpoint definitions to the shiparch… unless you want to fly a dreadnought you’d like to be able to extend this is unnecessary. that is the way i do it, short, not too much bytes, and works well.

with sushi’s tutorial you could make your extension part of the very model. in that case, no further coding would be needed.

here it is.
anyway, try it with the cargo pod, it should be working just fine and the player wouldn’t see any difference.

Perfectly done. and for the shield, I add :
equip = Hpxx01, liberty_dreadnought_realisme_extention ]
and in the shiparche, I add :……|
hp_type = hp_freighter_shield_special_1, [Hpxx01]<====I

Heeeey, hardoint must be after “,”:

loadouts.ini
equip = liberty_dreadnought_realisme_extention, Hpxx01

solararch.ini
hp_type = hp_freighter_shield_special_1, Hpxx01

you do just have to link all hardpoints correctly and it will work. no needs to edit the ship or solar archetype libraries… i honestly don’t get the problem. i could make you a screenshot ingame, where this extension is applied to the shape… check your files for typos. it works for me (with other shapes ofc) and each of my clients and team members. you must have done wrong something as it would definately work otherwise.

You forgot system ini.

Well done. Uw
