As far as I know Caid, I did everything properly... but I can't really be sure. Perhaps you could post what an appropriate shiparch entry for it would look like?

Thanks Timenn, and if possible, I'd love to play against both of you as well :)

[Inoculator9]

Don't get it... the ship still doesn't show up on any of the places I set it to be purchasable at... what market_ships entry should it have?

[Timenn]

About the movie:

www.xs4all.nl/~kkptt/FreelancerNomadWeapons.wmv

It is quite big for 1 minute, but otherwise you can't read the text.

[Inoculator9]

Thanks man, still don't get why I don't seem to be able to get any of their weapons though.

Maybe if you find a spare moment you could post a saved game with a few, lol :D

[Timenn]

Okay, I'll try to find the correct savegame. You know the weird way of naming them, something like 7e5f78.fl

Otherwise I will have to send you 2. They are both multi-player savegames, from my own LAN server (when I played with my brother)

One of the 2 has Nomad Weapons, the other is an edited savegame, in an attempt to make an admin ship, which had positive relations with every faction, and has a good ship etc.

[tutuco21]

i have a eagle with 2 diamondback and the rest is nomads... u cant find realy good weapons near the gas miner ... its cool because the nomads dont waste power so u can fire at will :) i have an observation about freelancer ... it has litle improvement freedon ... u play for a wile become the best ship and after that is the skill of the player for the combats that count... the key to this game is to stop the engines and turn ... if u do that u become much bether... misiles is good to but u have to do a "bank" acount just for trading because u aways waste money figthing...u trade do lots of money and give the money to a friend ... after that your friend guive the money back to u in your "figther acount" and u can buy lots of misiles.... theres no human cargo to rob and do profit using the most expensive type of misiles... other thing aways be on speed wen u use misiles... the speed of the misile + your speed = faster and deadly misiles...one tip is to use the cruise engines and after that kill the egine...that way u are near the cruise speed and cant be disrupted by misiles :) other cool thing is to have 2 figther acounts doked in diferent planets ... u start to pursuit one big cargo in new berlin for example ,,, wen the noob is tinking that he scape u trade for u acount in new tokyo for example and anbush hin ,,, i hope i help u freelancer

[Inoculator9]

My policy is to take jobs in the Corsair and Outcast home systems where the prize is best.

[Timenn]

I must say I don't really use my engine kill. Instead of that I constantly use my thruster, and when needed to slow down, I just hold my finger of the tab key, and I will go alot slower then, and so avoiding most weapon fire, and then I speed up again.

And, ofcourse, I make turn around alot of times, and each time into another direction.

But how do you mean "the rest is nomads", were you able to get level9 Nomad Weapons? Because normally they are only level 10, and so you can only fill 4 slots with them.

Ok, with the missions for the Outcasts and Corsairs you earn much, but you can't do to much of them, or you can't show yourself in the "habited" systems, or you get shot by Police/Military/ and companies.

And before you are able to get there, it is very profitable to get a Humpback, and deliver Diamonds to New Tokyo, shipped from New Berlin. The only real dangerous system is Sigma-13.

[Caid Ivik]

Ah, to buy a ship it is another task. Go to data/equipment/goods.ini and add there (you should edit weapon entries like br_gunboat_turret01 in weapon_equip.ini, as they are very underestimated):

and to market_ships.ini (into field of chosen object, 30 is required level):

marketgood = bgx_package, 30, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1

[Inoculator9]

30 is required? I thought you just took the numbers of the ships you replaced.

[Inoculator9]

Still wont work for me... Caid, is there any chance you could post a goods.ini file here, edited appropriately to have... Leeds and New London sell the gunboat you just showed me? Once I'm sure I've got a goods.ini file that is good, I can start figuring out where I made a mistake, if getting a good goods.ini file doesn't solve it.

[Caid Ivik]

Well, you can the level number by your will. Put there 0 and you have it without problem.

To sell this ship on New London you must edit market_ships.ini:

[Inoculator9]

Weird, still doesn't seem to be working... well, I guess I'll give something else a shot now... and thank you so much for helping Caid, I really owe you one. I have a vow, lol, to make at least one mod for every game I get, and thanks to you I think I'll be able to keep that up ;)

Any chance you could tell me what the "Armoured Transport's" entry in the shiparch or special ini is? The Junker/Hogosha ship as well if possible.

And on a side note, I FINALLY got some Nomad weapons... the only explanation for my past difficulty is that before I could tractor them, delayed beams from my weapons were destroying them. But now, with a different loadout on a different ships, I got at least one Nomad weapon (Cannon/Blaster) per each group of four. I'm pretty fond of the current loadout consisting of two Wyrm Type 2s, two SILVER FIREs, two Nomad Energy Cannons, one Kraken Turret, a Sunslayer Torp Launcher, Ripper Mines, and Adv. CMs. My Corsair Titan has the same, but the main weapons are a pair of DIAMONDBACKS, BLOODSTONES, and something else I seem to have forgotten, lol :P

I love the DIAMONDBACK weapon fxs the most of any weapon though, along with the SILVER FIRE and ONYX/BLOODSTONE.

[Timenn]

Glad that you finally got your hands on alien technology. Pretty weird actually, that you can be arrested for shipping Alien Artifacts, but can fire with Alien Weaponry. :)

Does anybody now how wrecks work in multiplayer? I mean in single, you visit and empty a wreck, and the next time you shoot it, nothing comes out of it anymore. But with multi-player it must be different, or otherwise the first people on the server have emptied all the wrecks so that new players can't get anything from a wreck anymore. I think that wrecks are based on players, meaning that if player 1 visits wreck A, then he/she can't visit it anymore, but player 2 can still empty wreck A.

[Inoculator9]

Maybe they regenerate. Like Turrets regenerate on stations, perhaps it's the same process?

[Caid Ivik]

Weird, I think that should be all. Take this SFX, maybe you can find out any errors. Junker/Hogosha ship is called CSV, entry ge_csv, armored transport is ge_armored.

http://imperium.nazory.cz/if/THE%20MOD.exe

[Inoculator9]

And which shiparch are they in?

[Inoculator9]

Nevermind, I figured it out. And I finished my mod :) I've attached it.[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

[Caid Ivik]

Ha, nice to see another one of us inflitrating the Reactor  ;D

[Timenn]

Wow, the screenshot certainly looks cool.

If I have the time, I will try that one,

We could play that mod over the internet btw...

[Inoculator9]

Once I work out the kinks, and there are loads, lol ;)

Caid... any chance you'd ever be interested in making a mod together?

[Caid Ivik]

I don't have time now for modding, I've made also only few ships and systems. But I have few models in progress, you can complete them.
