bases

Overview

These files are used to define the room INI files present in each base, as well as the starting room when the based is loaded. Files in DATA\UNIVERSE\SYSTEMS\INTRO\BASES\ specifically are used to define the room ini files the menu screens use.

Vanilla Examples

• DATA\UNIVERSE\SYSTEMS\LI01\BASES\li01_01_base.ini
• DATA\UNIVERSE\SYSTEMS\RH02\BASESrh02_06_base.ini
• DATA\UNIVERSE\SYSTEMS\INTRO\BASES\intro1_base.ini

Syntax

Blocks should be called in the below order. Multiple [Room] blocks may be called.

BaseInfo

[BaseInfo]
nickname = STRING
start_room = STRING
ship_repair_cost = FLOAT ;optional
price_variance = FLOAT ;optional

Parameter	Information
nickname	How this base is referenced elsewhere.
start_room	Defines the room players start in when they dock with or log in at this base.
ship_repair_cost	Defaults to 0.33 if not specified. Affects the repair value of the ship and its groups, but not equipment. The formula is: repair_cost = (1 - damage) * hit_pts * ship_repair_cost. Damage is the fractional health value (75/100 = 0.75)
price_variance	Picks a random number between (1 - price_variance) and (1 + price_variance) to adjust the cost of each good (equipment and commodities).

Room

[Room]
nickname = STRING
file = PATH

Parameter	Information
nickname	How this room is referenced in [BaseInfo] blocks.
file	The Room file this entry points to.
