Custom Ship Engines
-
Greetings everyone! I’ve got this idea that’s been in the back of my mind for quite a while now. I want to know how to switch ship engines. Allow me to elaborate. I am going to be making a mod soon, and I want to make all of the vanilla ships have the green Rhineland engine. One problem though, I have no clue on how to do that! Anybody that can answer this is welcome to. In advance: “Thx for the help!”

There is probably a few ways…
For the engine to be added to ships that players buy, you will have to edit the ships packages in the goods.ini.
To change the NPC engines you will have to edit their loadouts in the loadouts.ini.
For new players you could edit the newplayer package.In Single player missions, check the ships in the npcships.ini in each mission folder so you know which you need to edit.
or maybe, change all engine effects to use the same as the engine you want.

I’ll look into those. Hey, you wouldn’t happen to know the Rhineland engine’s “script name” would you? That would help a lot when I go looking for it.

There’s multiple different ones for different ships.
They’re pretty easy to find when you look.
