Wondering if I can get some assistance with modding rep and commodities
-
Hello, I am looking for assistance in finding the proper files to modify when adjusting initial rep and how it is earned. I am also looking for help in creating contraband. Could anyone direct me to the files needed for these efforts, and maybe which code I look for within these files?
Thank you.

Any item can be scanned as contraband
it is controlled by faction_prop.ini in missions folder
as an example these lines are taken from fc_c_grp (Corsairs)
scan_for_cargo = commodity_oxygen, 0
scan_for_cargo = commodity_pharm, 1
scan_for_cargo = commodity_polymers, 2scan_for_cargo = commodity, priority level
priority level just means that if you have a combination of these commodities the NPC will only ask for the highest level item in the range 0 - 2

Initial Multiplayer reputation is controlled by mpnewcharacter.fl in the .exe folder

initial_rep = li_n_grp (Liberty Navy)
then the faction reputation is read directly from intialworld.ini (I believe)
If you do this you must delete all the "house = " data, otherwise it gets confused

Beautiful Thaddeus, simply beautiful. This helps tremendously. Thank you very much. You seem to have great knowledge of this game, would you care to assist me in the future if I have further questions? None come to mind off hand, but I may delve deeper into modding my game in the near future. Right now I’m just trying to get a working LOGICAL economy running within the game.

Glad to be of some help, you are always welcome to put your modding problems up on this board, someone will always try and sort them out

Thaddeus, I followed a link in your signature, and I see you may have experience adding ships to the game. Would you be able to tell me which files I would need to modify in order to insert a ship? I would assume I need all of the files in the ships directory for the particular ship, but which files are needed to get the game to recognize that ship, and what all do I need to know about the ship before inserting it?
