Help with lights
-
**I was unable to ever get the built in FL lights to sell. I did find a work-around though, now it’s just a matter of getting it to mount properly.
If someone else wishes to work on this before I get back to it, just simply create a CMP model, set the proper hardpoints for whatever type of equipment you want it to be so it will mount. The CMP model needs to have an additional hardpoint for one of the real lights to mount on. Also, it is a good idea to make the entire CMP model glow using either DcDtEc or DcDtEt formatted textures so you can see it at all times.
Another suggestion is to add flares (an original light will suffice) and also a lightanim entry to simulate a real light.
I do not have time to work on this yet but I believe it will work. Please post your final version if you get it working properly.**

tried my own suggestion, did not work… doesn’t look like there’s a way to do it as equipment actually refers to archtypes… Though I guess it still possible if you do some work between the misc_goods.ini, misc_equip.ini, light_equip.ini, goods.ini and of course, you have to have the light’s nickname listed in the market_misc.ini else you won’t find it for sale anywhere.
Still can’t sell running lights because different ships have different numbers of running lights. The above suggestion would be for headlights and docking lights only.
