Ading pirat M2s

[The-Last-Communist]

hello X2ers , i decided to play x2 for the long terme , x3 tc is good , but it dosent have the great ambiance of x2 , so to cut the story short, i would like to add pirat M2s
so it work , if a add a pirat M2 in the Tships (will they just spawn?) or do i have to script or just add them to a new map?

generaly you have to spawn them by placing them on the map or build a script that does that for you.
you don't need to name a new Pirate ship - you just have to set an owner to existing ones (as usual).

of course you can add a new ship if you have one

so if i cheat a pirat titan , when killed it will respawn ?

and yhea long live x2 and good look with your mod it looks amazing (and your team) !

Chris once said to me that only ships with a homebase respawn after a while. so you should set a homebase (Shipyard) too, then it should work (have never tried it out though)...

and thanks

ATM there is the Pandoa Team, modding in X2. Further Zeron-MK7 works with a friend on P.X.D.
basicly modding here is dead it's a pity, there are so many good moders out there

may I ask how well your modding abilities are?

I agree with Shadow, it's sadly, but I and Solek very like modding X2, so we planning created couple of new mods for X2.
We planning stay loyal to x2 long time.

iv got a new map in mind...

I think that you should use the galaxy/sector editor than you find in the doubleshadow's x2-editor to place some pirate shipyards in pirate sectors and some pirate M2s in sectors in which you want them to roam.
Then when you load a new fresh game, they should be spawned like all the other M2s and when destroyed new one should be sent from the closest pirate shipyards.

To add pirate shipyards and pirate M2 you've just to place a model of M2/shipyard in the sector editor map and set their race as "pirate".
