Nomad ship issues
-
Hey gang more questions. I’ve got Nomad battleships and gunboats flying about but when I click on them in space their names say the following:
Nomad Battleship Object Unknown Object Unknown
Nomad Gunboat Object Unknown Object UnknownAny ideas on what’s causing those errors and how to fix them?

Thats because of the firstnames and lastnames defined in the nomad faction section in the factionprop.ini.
The defined string in the namesrecources.dll does not exist btw not contain any info.
U may change the firstname and last name lins to what u like, but i would keep the ids name in the namesrecources.dll.[FactionProps]
affiliation = fc_n_grp
legality = unlawful
nickname_plurality = plural
msg_id_prefix = ignore
jump_preference = jumpgate
npc_ship = MSN13_Nomad_Fighter_Populator
npc_ship = fc_n_no_fighter_d19
mc_costume = mc_fc
firstname_male = 229608, 229608
firstname_female = 229608, 229608
lastname = 229608, 229608
rank_desig = 197140, 197140, 197140, 10, 15
formation_desig = 197808, 197820
formation = fighters, fighter_guild -
You can always make an empty string and then refer to it.

look for an existing blank string, or a string in the dll called ‘Nomad’.

firstname_male = 229608, 229608 firstname_female = 229608, 229608 lastname = 229608, 229608 rank_desig = 197140, 197140, 197140, 10, 15 ```This is the vanilla settings for the nomads, those ID numbers point to "blanks" in the DLL, so I'd recommend using them. -
Alright I found the issue. As it turns out capital ships have separate naming entries for factionprop.ini. The Nomads lacked the two lines (large_ship_desig and large_ship_names) and when added in and given .dll entries they worked just fine. Thanks for the help though and I hope this might help some poor soul in the future ;D
