OP Spacedock and $ question
« on: November 17, 2003, 09:00:35 pm »
How do we connect or attach or fit into those drydocks during some of those missions?  I never seems to get it right.  Also someone told me once we could start out with a higher prestige base?

Go into your assets or metassets folder, and open the Character.gif file. I believe that is where you will find the ability to chane your starting prestege . make sure It's SP only though.

I'd give a more direct link c:/ etc. But I don't have OP installed right now.

Been meaning to ask but then got busy with the new changes.  In any event what do I use, more accurately which program do I use to modify this gf file?  Dont want to corrupt anything.  Plus how do we dock?

The way that particular mission was supposed to have worked was when you got to range 0 of the dock it would automatically kick in, no other action needed on your part.

There was a glitch in the code however, so it wasn't firing properly.  I've included a fixed version in my mission pack (Met_NWRecharge.scr IIRC) if you want it.

As for modifying the starting prestige, you can use Notepad or Wordpad or Word or pretty much any text editor.  The Character.gf file is in the MetaAssets/ServerProfiles/SinglePlayer folder I think.

Thank you very much Dave.  I had wondered what was going on.  Kind of like that Grave of thoughts mission issue in SFC II..  As for trying out the fixed version yeah I will try and give it a shot.  Still building up my models, thanks to the board I have been finding some good ones but always on the lookout for more esp in TMP era.   It has Been slow going finding them and applying them.  Building different ships though will be the more difficult part.  As for your packs. can you please send me a link to them or over messenger please.  It would be greatly appreciated.
I suspected that note/word pad  would do.  I used word but sinc then lost it when my previous system died.  AS for the location sounds pretty much right on the "money" if you will pardon the expression LOL.  Hey I read your bio is that Victoria BC?  If so cool, always a pleasure running accross a fellow Canuck I am out in Ontario.
