Mission 01a: It's not much, but it'll do..

In the cutscene of the equipment room, Juni shows trent his ship. In the cutscene, the ship is a starflier (ge_fighter). I’ve replaced the loadouts.ini default ship to sp_fighter (a starflier clone w/ new textures, with texturing issues fixed using Freelancer XML Project). Everything works like I want it to, except the initial cutscene referenced. This still shows a regular starflier model, even after I’ve editted the .thn’s to point to sp_fighter instead of ge_fighter…

The loadouts refer to sp_fighter, the thn’s refer to sp_fighter, the m01a.ini refer’s to sp_fighter… even if I change ge_fighter to sp_fighter’s model in the shiparch.ini, I STILL have the vanilla starflier… O.o Is there any way someone can point me in the right direction here?

Feel bad for posting this and then finding the answer on the same day… but after weeks of trying, I thought I’d ask…

I started lookin around in .thn files, li_01_equipment_ambi_s005_ship_01.thn references an rtc ship. After finding the match in rtc_shiparch.ini, I found the reference to cv_starflier under “rtcprop_civ_fighter”… changed that to point to the clone and walla!! Figured I’d post the findings rather than delete the post in case someone else ever has this complication.
