I think what you’re looking for doesn’t actually exist. People have preferences, but there is no “right” choice. Do people want mountable engines? Depends on who you ask. Do people want progression in equipment, or should all guns be balanced? Depends on who you ask.

If you want to make a mod, just do it. Design by committee doesn’t work, and you most likely won’t find much of a committee here anyway… I also wouldn’t see it as “giving back”. You’re doing what the community does best: making mods. Don’t try to make it into something bigger than it is, or than it could possibly be.

EDIT: Oh also, putting my admin hat for a second, please refrain from making multiple posts in a row. Edit your latest post instead. Stream of consciousness-style posts aren’t advisable.

This is a great idea!

It’s hard for us modders to write in easy speak (lol) whilst some awesome tut’s exist, some are complicated others outdated in some way (remember… we’ve all learned things the past few years in regards to why certain parameters and other things exist that back in the day nobody knew)

And we have WAY better tools now. the tools referenced in most old tut’s are pretty old now (if not bug causing or obsolete)

For example i use blender because it have advanced features, not very much memory use and you can get a portable version and use it from usb stick for example (all freelancer stuff i keep them on a stick :)) ).
You can find many blender tutorials on the net (youtube for example) - that`s how i learned too.

Looks like

DATA\MISSIONS\M01A:
m01a_0{1,3,4,5,6}.thn
m01a_rev2_01.thn
DATA\MISSIONS\M01B:
m01b_0{1,2,3}.thn

all use ge_fighter for the player. I guess you’d need to replace those with either your desired archetype, or perhaps you could just use rtcprop_civ_fighter. You can find thorn decompilers on my site.

thanks for the responses

if there are any other thoughts please feel free to spill them

sounds like there is a lot to know to make this work.

at the very least i need to learn how to get new bases working

you have given lots of good leads and info so far.

thanks you

ids_name is in NameResources.dll
ids_info is in InfoCards.dll

Regarding the THN files, FLThorn to decrypt them, Notepad to view them, FLScan to fix them if they need fixing which very few of them ever do but it does happen. Been using those tools for a while and never had an issue. Not tried the newer ones to edit them

Here is part of a treasure!

As I read, his SDK is latest and very possibly error free.

Find other versions of Milk Shape where it will show in the list.
My 1.8.4 finds it! With 1.8.0 had no luck.

I suppose double docking while it would be cool is not that important to me but it would be nice to be able to fly into the ship and dock and have the force field effect from the outside a material thats slightly tinted so that cosmedically it doesnt look like a hole. Possible??

YW bud. My modding knowledge is limited in comparison to others here at TSP, but I am happy to share what I do know.

Fus

if it not causing any trouble i would get rid of all that and just get a thumb drive and back up everything there and just have the one mod manager active on c. thats all you need.

THANK YOU FRIENDLYFIRE YOU ROCK!!!

Looks to be A,B,C

you can always add cash also just open the mission 13 file in note pad

Act_GCSClamp = false

Act_AdjAcct= 10000 this is where you can change the money

Act_ChangeState = SUCCEED

I’m going to say no, at least not currently.
It’d require some sort of hook or hack.

Anywhere you want as long as you avoid the ‘Program File (x86)’ folder.
