Nice job!

After having some hard time and sweating I've finished my Lion MK II
I managed to fit 24 slots and it looks ok






What do you say?? Like it??

Great mod, Goblin Wizard. But I would really like it if you made corvettes and transports playable like the fighters. It might be just me but seeing Grayhair in a Butcher with four particle accelerators would be awesome, and I also always liked the walrus.

I can't seem to download the file from the first post, damn Filefront says it can't find it ALL the time.
Is there any chance you could upload it to another location, please?

[Goblin Wizard]

I've uploaded again and added new link so at least one should work.

Many thanks to you, mate

Hey, Goblin Wizard
I tried inserting the Lion MK2 as a buyable mothership, but right now the game crashes everytime I tried to dock with the maintainence station.
Could you please show me every place in which I have to edit to get this ship into the shop?

You can buy Loin MK2 now. I suppose you want to add other version of lion mk2 so...

• 1. Adding new dialog entry. ..\Data\Scripts\Trade\DialogGW.xml
  
  Look for message "msg_MS_ORG_list". Below you'll find few dialog answers. E.g.
  

  <DialogAnswer name="ans_MS_ORG_07">
    <answer>#L_DR5_ans_MS_ORG_07</answer>
    <lua_function>DialogR_buy_GW_Mothership_uel</lua_function>
    <go_message_name />
    <multi_pass>true</multi_pass>
    <sound_name />
  </DialogAnswer>

  Copy and paste this part below. Change it to something like this:
  

  <DialogAnswer name="ans_MS_ORG_08">
    <answer>Lion Mk2 by stivoknis</answer>
    <lua_function>DialogR_buy_Mothership_Lion_mk2</lua_function>
    <go_message_name />
    <multi_pass>true</multi_pass>
    <sound_name />
  </DialogAnswer>

• 2. modifying buy script ..\Data\Scripts\include\gw.script
  
  Look for function "_buy_ms_GW(nameMS)". Above this function you'll find several buy functions which are executed by dialog e.g.:
  

  function DialogR_buy_GW_Mothership_uel()
    _buy_ms_GW("Mothership_uel");
  end;

  Copy/paste. You need the function to look like this:
  

  function DialogR_buy_Mothership_Lion_mk2()
    _buy_ms_GW("Mothership_XXX");
  end;

  The "Mothership_XXX" is the name of the ship from the ..\Data\Game\Carcasses.xml.
  
  add new mothership to the table inside function "_buy_ms_GW(nameMS)" e.g.:
  

  {"Mothership_XXX",1200000},

  the 2nd value is a price.

Generally, that's all. You can make any ship mothership this way but if you want full functionality (hangars, tractor beams, etc.) you will have to change many more things.
