Question about TCM starter pack

I’m currently using DwnUndr’s TCM starter pack as a means to turn an old mod into a playable open single player version. (currently I can only get it t run on an old XP machine as the server isn’t visible on my main Win 7 PC)

I’ve copied and pasted a lot of the old mod data and It’s been going fairly well so far, the main issues relating to the initial world (nearly 40 additional factions) and changing the starting location/cash/ship ini.

The DATA\CHARACTERS\newcharacter.ini from the TCM is below

[Pilot]
nickname = trent
body = trent
comm = trent
voice = trent_voice
body.anim = Sc_MLBODY_STND_000LV_A_31
comm.anim = Sc_comm_body_unfold_female, Sc_headCOM
[Package]
nickname = li_freighter
strid_name = 11051
strid_desc = 11551
ship = li_freighter
loadout = MP_li_freighter
money = 400000
[Faction]
nickname = new_player
rep_group = co_ic_grp
base = AA01_01_base
Package = li_freighter
Pilot = trent

I’ve tried to change this several times editing cash and starting ship but no matter what the file is changed to the cash and starting ship remain as listed above.

Am I editing the wrong file? or is it something else?

Thx in advance

Thanks for the fast reply, I had looked there but the file still appears to be encoded (looks like gobbledegook to men anyway LOL).
I’ll try swapping another version of the newplayer file and see what happens.

Thanks again

Thanks that’s a useful tool and it shows the TCM newplayer file does contain the base/cash/ship data and starting rep.
I edited the cash but it still had the same 400k in the activated game DOH!

Time for a beer I think!

It looks like the Restart.fl was the problem, once I deleted it the changes in the other two files were applied in the activated game :).

Thanks to everyone for all the help (and back to Notepad++ for me LOL)
