Modding SW3?

Looking good there. Heh, I picked a (hopefully) better name for those missiles this time around. "Wind God Hidden Among The Leaves" doesn't quite trip off the tongue...

Say, what do I need to edit (in FloodTradeStations.script?) to make everything buyable there? It's a pain in the ass to try find which stations are selling my new missiles. If I can't buy them I can't test them, lol -__-"

Edit: I meant, in Elio (Grid Station). Do I just add to the Location_Sidelist for Elio, or what? No, wait. I can see the other missiles being sold if I redock, but SRM1 ("SRM-6E Piranha") doesn't seem to show up.

Edit: Okay, belay that - I went one system down (Hephaestus) and it crashed when I docked. lol, looks like I screwed something up in the entry.

Well I'm probably not the best explainer of this, but I'll try.

In "FloodTradeStations.Script"

__All_rockets ={"DF","MM","SM3","SM4",
"SRM1","SRM2","SRM3","SRM4", "example1",
"LRM1","LRM2","LRM3","LRM4",
"T1","T2","T3","MIRV1","MIRV2","MIRV3","example2"};

add your missiles to the ends of these. Like the examples.

Then

In InitTradeSystem.Script

{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, -- SM,SRM,LRM rockets
0,0,0,0,0,0}, -- T,MIRV
You'll want to add entries as fallows.

{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, -- SM,SRM,LRM rockets
0,0,0,0,0,0,0}, -- T,MIRV

Then in every station, add those values (I THINK they have to be in that order) and change that number to the amount you want to appear in the shop. I added the values in the 9th spot, and the final spot, as this is where I put the missiles in "FloodTradeStations.Script". When i did this for Ships it was much easier (just threw them on at the end).

Example:

...local NShop_Triada =...

{10,7,3,0,12,6,2,0,4,6,3,0,0, -- SM,SRM,LRM rockets
3,1,0,2,0,0,1}, -- T,MIRV

4 and 1 are the maximum for showing up in the shop. And they will appear in the Triada shop. For the reference of what shops what, I think thats contained in the "FloodTradeStations.Script". Haven't had much time to look, been doing ship stuff. (also not 100% sure on this either)

Sorry if this is completely fail!

tiny note: just finished clean install, back-upping now, maybe tomorrow going to post the complete stuff on what ive done so far for the smilodon tl, and probably move on to dragon t

Thanks, that will help later.

Actually, my main problem is that Rockets.xml is a freaking mess. Missiles, definitions, and detonations are sometimes shared. So when I rename something it might break something else. Ugh. Untangling this mess is going to take a while.

Edit: By the way, my problem was that SRM1_M was missing in Rockets.xml. <-- No, it's in there. There's something else wrong.

(20:21:40) (ERROR) ModuleManager::CreateGameObject('srm1'): FAILED to load properties from XML (XML reports: 'No error')
(20:21:40) (ERROR) ModuleManager::CreateObject('srm1') - game object not created!
(20:21:40) (ERROR) ModuleManager::CreateModule('srm1') - module not created
(20:21:40) (ERROR) Inventory::AddModuleWithName: cannot create module with name = 'srm1'

Edit:
LOL, there was a typo... I wrote rocket_slot instead of rocket_slots. That fixed it. Okay folks, nothing to see here, move along

Update:
Okay, the missile mod's up. Feel free to dismantle it and take a look around. I'll try to answer as best I can if you have any questions about modding missiles.

Here's the Smilodon TL as is. Still some minor modifications I'd like to do, but they can wait. It's just up-close texture stuff anyway. It's too dark and shiny to be a Templar?

Uploading it as a sort of DIY. Nothing official. Cause it's just a minor addition, you can just put follow the steps to add it to your game with whatever mods you're playing with.

Tried and ready for use.

Mmm, a graphics package and instructions how to edit the scripts included. Thanks, I learned something - because, as you know, I've been poking around different scripts and have no clue about ships or trade (still haven't gotten around to that, heh).

[StarShatter]

Err ok, I have to fix up some files in it, it's gone back to missing the inventory textures! lol.
I'll get it fixed asap.

EDIT:
In Carcasses.xml
<flat_image>smilodonTS</flat_image>
Needs to become
<flat_image>smilodon_templar</flat_image>

Changed the Zip.

Edit again:
"I've been poking around different scripts"
Yeah I'm still mostly working from that Valky post and the help I've managed to get here. Haha.
What sucks is that I'm going to add in a new Dragon T now, so I might have to do this rush again.
