What's up with the "SPL S Combat Engine Mk4" (engine_spl_s_combat_01_mk4_macro)?
There is a ware and an engine macro (/split/assets/props/Engines/macros/engine_spl_s_combat_01_mk4_macro.xml), but there seems to be no such file as /split/assets/props/Engines/engine_spl_s_combat_01_mk4.xml .
The engine shows up in the encyclopedia on the ship detail pages in the max speed calculation. I think, I also saw it in an Equipment dock.
Without that file, how do you get the engine's type, size and tags?

Re: SPL S Combat Engine Mk4?
You can find the answer in the macro (extensions\ego_dlc_split\assets\props\Engines\macros\engine_spl_s_combat_01_mk4_macro.xml).
It is the "component" you are looking for.
The component is the "engine_spl_s_combat_01_mk3" (line 5). Egosoft reuses the model of the mk3 engine. The same goes for the engine_spl_m_combat_01_mk4_macro which uses the engine_spl_m_combat_01_mk3 model/component.

awesome, that's it, thanks!
Re: SPL S Combat Engine Mk4?
ok, there is still one single engine left I can't find a component for. There's also no ware for it:
engine_bor_l_allround_01_mk1_macro -> engine_bor_l_allround_01_mk1
There is, however, an engine "engine_bor_l_travel_01_mk1_macro" that is named "BOR L All-round Engine Mk1" (notice that it says "travel" in the macro id, but "All-round" in the name).
So, is the "engine_bor_l_allround_01_mk1_macro" just broken/remnant data that I can ignore?
Thanks!

Re: SPL S Combat Engine Mk4?
Tests, remnants, someone forgot to remove it, it doesn't really matter, what you have to take into account is the 'wares.xml' file, where everything used in the game is defined. If you remove 'engine_bor_l_travel_01_mk1' from 'wares', the engine will not be considered for in-game use, even if the component and macro are present in 'assets'. It doesn't really help that the name contains 'travel', but that doesn't matter either, if it's defined as 'All-round', it's 'All-round', they're just numbers after all, although a bit of order doesn't it would be wrong.
