Two Questions

from Sins Forums

I have two modding quesitons.

 

I am working on a playable Pirate race, of which, I just released my first beta.

 

Now, I am trying to do a few things.

First off, I need to add a few new types of weapons.

Not "Missile" "Beam" or "Projectile" type weapons

but like

"Phase Missile" "Laser" "Psi Laser" ect...

I understand the particle side of weapons, but thier is a line "LinkedWeaponType" I think it is, and I need to know where that goes so I can add my own weapon types.

 

 

Also, I've been trying to add Custom Capitol Ship names.

I don't want to have to use the TEC ship names, (or Advent, or Vassari) I want NEW ship names (Piratey onse)

 

Their is a line in the Player entity files that seems to define the names of the Capitol ships something like "CapitolShipNameTech" (I think, that is probably wrong)

But again, I do not know where that leads.

 

So, in short, I need to know how to add new weapons, and new capitol ship names. Can anyone help?

To find them simply, take one of the ids lines.. IE  IDS_CAPITALSHIPNAME_TECH45, open up your string file in notepad or word..press ctrl+f (search option), control paste the line and their you have it...you just found the cap ship list in less than 10 seconds :)!

No problem at all it is I that wants to apologise for missunderstanding your op!

to answer the new question, you would have to use those exact lines, but change Capitalshipnametech1-47 into Capitalshipname"your race"1-47. (not forgetting to add 1-47 to the total string count) and then got into each of your capitals and set their name reference as capitalshipname"your race". Ie, go inside any base file and change the race name in the file for your own :)!

Normally that should more than do the trick for fixed names!

 

If you want random names like various capital ship names that change at each new one..that I dont know yet! and Ill look into it :)

Hope it helped

I want to add NEW captital ship names, for a NEW race, BUT, I don't know how to get my new race to use these new names.

As far as I know, nobody's been able to do this. Myself included. It seems there are only the 3 lists for the default races, there's no way to create additional names lists and link them with a new race.

Now, I am trying to do a few things.

First off, I need to add a few new types of weapons.

Not "Missile" "Beam" or "Projectile" type weapons

but like

"Phase Missile" "Laser" "Psi Laser" ect...

I understand the particle side of weapons, but thier is a line "LinkedWeaponType" I think it is, and I need to know where that goes so I can add my own weapon types.

You can't really add new ones here either. Most of it is just for internal use. LinkedWeaponType I believe just links the research that can improve these weapons to the actual weapons. So you still have a bunch to use and you can change their names in the strings file.. but can't add new types.

Thanks for the info.

Maby I will bug a developer.

 

That seriously bums be out if I can't change that stuff.

I don't really care about adding a new type, the current types will work, but I want to change the name.

Without changeing the name for the orignial.

Which is really creating a new type......

Anyway, thanks for the info
