Changing ship properties Help?

Post by sergem »

  • Is there an editor to change ship properties, like cargo capacity, lazers mountable and shields?

there is one, not an easy one though but very useful :) :thumb_up:

1. - use the moddingTools to extract the *.dat files and look for types/TShip.pck -> decompress it (you can also use StoneD's tool for that)

2. - use the X2 TXT Editor to edit the file. Sometimes you also need VB Runfiles to get it to work.

look at this page for more information: http://www.the-commander.com

Does anyone else get "failed to load resources" upon running this program, no matter what?

Yes, me too. I have VS.NET 6.0 on my machine, and I got the message. So, I downloaded and installed his VB support files, and still get the error.

Even worse, I can't open the TShips.txt file with his program - it throws an error.

I'm just going to write my own editor in C#. Gotta decipher all the numbers first...

Yes. I installed the VB runtimes. It is not a DLL error, as I would expect to get if I hadn't had the correct dependencies, It is a program specific error. It throws the error at me whenever it reaches the last file in the /x2 - the threat/t/ directory, and then gives a file read error when I attempt to open any files.


If it helps I am running windows 2000 professional, on a p4 2.4c(d1), with all current service packs/updates.
