How to fix custom item's infocard?

I’m having problems in info cards for a custom item or does not have an info_ids parameter.

I created (e.g.)a custom engine but the problem is that the game does not sell engines, powerplants and scanners from the equipment dealer and of course all of the engines do not have any item infocard. So there is no source to copy an info card for engines, powerplants and scanners, etc. to make it work smoothly in the game.

I was able to add my custom engine in the game if you guys are wondering…

Here is the problem that I am having

As you see it, the Stats is missing some info and it is the main problem that I am have right now.

The Top Speed and Energy Drain are correct and so is the respected value.

It should be like thisVVV

Top Speed:–------------------------- 200 m/s
Reverse Speed:-------------------- 80 m/s
Energy Drain:------------------------ 0
Cruise Speed:----------------------- 1101 m/s
Cruise Charge Time:-------------- 5.00
Cruise Energy Drain:-------------- 0

Any ideas how to fix these missing infos?

By the way, I am using FLEd-ids to edit item’s ids_name & ids_info…

Here is what I did to my infocard.dll

ids_info: 66703

<rdl><push><para><tra data=“1” mask=“1” def=“-2”><just loc=“center”><text>Stats</text><para><tra data=“0” mask=“1” def=“-1”><just loc=“left”><para><text>Top Speed: 200 m/s</text><para><text>Afterburner: 400 m/s</text><para><text>Cruise Speed: 1101 m/s</text><para><text>Reverse Speed: 80 m/s</text><para><text>Energy Drain: 0</text><para><text>Cruise Charge Time: 5 s</text><para><text>Cruise Energy Drain: 0</text><para><para></para></para></para></para></para></para></para></para></para></just></tra></para></just></tra></para></push></rdl>

ids_info: 66704

<rdl><push><tra data=“1” mask=“1” def=“-2”><text>Stats</text><para><tra data=“0” mask=“1” def=“-1”><para><text>Top Speed:</text><para><text>Afterburner:</text><para><text>Cruise Speed:</text><para><text>Reverse Speed:</text><para><text>Energy Drain:</text><para><text>Cruise Charge Time:</text><para><text>Cruise Energy Drain:</text><para></para></para></para></para></para></para></para></para></tra></para></tra></push></rdl>

ids_info: 66705

<rdl><push><para><para><text>200 m/s</text><para><text>400 m/s</text><para><text>1101 m/s</text><para><text>80 m/s</text><para><text>0</text><para><text>5 s</text><para><text>0</text><para></para></para></para></para></para></para></para></para></para></push></rdl>

And this is what I did to my engine_equip.ini VVV

[Engine]
nickname = xxx_engine
ids_name = 263908
ids_info = 264908
ids_info1 = 66703
ids_info2 = 66704
ids_info3 = 66705

The parameters or codes that I used are related from shiparch.ini on how the ship’s infos is shown in-game. This is just my technique that I just did. And the result is failure.

Please help. Thank you.

Thanks adoxa for the great info…

I used your FRC and while I was checking the resources.frc, I saw that you removed the lines below VVV

I was curious and I would like to know why did you removed it?

BTW, I compared it using your JFLP v1.20 ( resources.dll ) file and there I saw that you removed these lines.

S 15263	 Colonies Rebuild, Chancellor MIA
S 15264	 It’s been nearly two weeks since hostilities between Rheinland and 
	         the other Houses came to an abrupt end, and peace has settled over 
	         the colonies. Despite many lingering questions, government officials 
	         remain tight-lipped about what has triggered this sudden change. 
	         President Jacobi pardoned the leaders of the military coup against 
	         her, who are all recovering from what has been officially called 
	         “encephalitic viral infections.” Insiders speculate that these 
	         infections may be linked to recently discovered evidence of a bizarre 
	         mind-control plan initiated by the Chancellor to bring down the major 
	         Houses.
	         Meanwhile, the Chancellor and several of his staff are still missing 
	         at this time and together face a long list of charges. Newly 
	         appointed government officials in Rheinland are now looking into 
	         recent events and are said to be enlisting even Liberty’s help in 
	         their investigation.
	         In other news, LSF Commander Jun’ko Zane and freelancer, Edison 
	         Trent, both former enemies of the state, have been granted full 
	         pardons and have received the Lone Star for bravery, the highest 
	         decoration any individual in the colonies can receive. Though the 
	         details of their heroism have been sealed by executive order, they 
	         were honored today in a ceremony by President Jacobi, who said, “I, 
	         Liberty and the rest of the colonies owe you both a debt of 
	         gratitude. It is through your efforts, and people like you, that 
	         Sirius will embrace the future. We salute you.”

Thx adoxa… I was able to fix it just like what you said…

@ adoxa

About the ids_name = 15263 ( Colonies Rebuild, Chancellor MIA ) stated above.

Do you think the parameter below will work by using ( rank = mission_13_accepted, mission_end )?

[NewsItem]
rank = mission_13_accepted, mission_end
icon = universe
logo = news_jacobi
category = 15263
headline = 15263
text = 15264
base = ;any base I want
base = "
" " "
" " "
" " "

I see… Okay I will try it soon and we’ll see if it works.

Thanks!
