Need help w/ shiplist.
« on: December 19, 2005, 08:14:08 pm »
I have extensively modified my shiplist. While I was testing it in campaign mode, I noticed that some of the ships while available, were not able to be replenished with missles, mines and such. I went ahead and played a mission with such a ship, beat the AI and when I returned to the map screen, my ship was severely damaged. They seem to work fine in skirmish mode, but not in campaign. My first thought was that the shiplist in assets/specs vs. metaassets was different, but it was not the case.

Any ideas?

1) Use excel, not shipedit.
2) All ships should have the same number of columns in the list.
3) Certain columns can only have integer values.
4) if you exceed the renge of legal values for many columns weird stuff will happen.

Look for differences between your list and the stock list or OP+4, correct your list accordingly.

Once your shiplist is corrected, you will need to trade in any ships you have from the old list and buy them from the new one. Also ensure you are changing the shiplist in both \Assets\Specs and \MetaAssets with identical versions.

Note: my suggestions are for modding SFC2, I'm not familiar with modding SFC3, though the same general principles probably still apply.

I should have specified which SFC. But thats ok. It was OP. And BTW your advice worked like a charm. I had the HET% messed up on a few ships. It was one of those columns that had to have integer values. Everything is good now. Thankyou
