EQ Dock Modding

[cyfagy]

Hello, I would like to change the npc EQ docks in my game so that they can hold more stuff. e.g. The maximum amount of 1GJ shields that the station can hold is 2. I want to change the amount to 100. I want more trade options to sell stuff. how can i change this value ( in wich file ) ? (like in Litcube's Universe / they can hold a lot of stuff )

Hello cyfagy,

you need to edit the globals file. This file is packed in the cat/dat system under directory types. Then search for the following:

Code: Select all

SG_NPC_DOCK_STORAGE_FACTOR;1;

The "1" is a factor, which can be changed. When done save this file into the normal directory and create there a new types directory and put the globals file in it (\addon\types\globals.txt)
I am afraid that you will have to start a new game for the changes to take effect.

oh man thank you so much. it works, now i can have a real trade empire. i'm so happy

another question. when ships explode they sometimes drop stuff like shields or weapons ( in vanilla ).
i play with XRM and now they only drop missiles, is there a way that i can change it back ?

They only drop things which are in cargohold not which are installed or in use by the ship in vanilla. It can be that they have other wares in cargohold in XRM or XRM uses scripts which let them drop things. But i don't really know because i have not been that concerned with XRM.
