I have try to do this with he normal replace code from a save before tradeship was created. I have made a modify Rahanas (energy & container) so I was wanting to make it the ship we get instead of stock.

Code: Select all

<replace sel="/mdscript[@name='Plot_ep1_ch1']/cues/cue[@name='P2_Meet_Borman_Conv_2_End']/create_ship[@name='macro.units_size_l_kit_hybrid_02_macro']">

This did not work either.

Can someone tell me what I am missing?

[YorrickVander]

Untested and I'm not the greatest at xpath but :

Code: Select all

<replace sel="//cue[@name='P2_Meet_Borman_Conv_2_End']/actions/create_ship[@name='macro.units_size_l_kit_hybrid_02_macro']/@name">macro.units_size_l_kit_hybrid_02_mk5_macro</replace> 

[docwho83]

@YorrickBander Thanks for the reply. Sadly dose not work.

I have try your code as posted and modify versions.

Code: Select all

<replace sel="//cue[@name='P2_Meet_Borman_Conv_2_End']/actions/create_ship[@name='macro.units_size_l_kit_hybrid_02_macro']/@name">macro.units_size_l_kit_hybrid_02_mk5_macro</replace>

no

<diff>
<replace sel="/mdscript[@name='Plot_ep1_ch1']/cues/cue[@name='P2_Meet_Borman_Conv_2_End']/actions/create_ship[@macro='macro.units_size_l_kit_hybrid_02_macro']">

</replace>
</diff>

no

The issues I think is trying to replace a part of a line. Which should be able to be done. I try, I think, to replace the whole line. but I have not gotten errors from any of these codes. done both ways with diff code and without.

[YorrickVander]

The dangers of late night posting... Yeah sorry that was a fail post indeed. Try this :

Code: Select all

<diff>
  <replace sel="//cue[@name='P2_Meet_Borman_Conv_2_End']/actions/create_ship[@name='$TradeShip']">
    <create_ship name="$TradeShip" macro="macro.units_size_l_kit_hybrid_02_mk5_macro" zone="$ALB_InnerworldSec_Zone12">
      <owner exact="faction.player" overridenpc="true"/>
      <pilot actor="null"/>
      <defence actor="null"/>
      <engineer actor="null"/>
      <units>
        <unit category="unitcategory.transport" mk="1" exact="50" />
      </units>
      <cargo>
        <wares list="[ware.fuelcells]">
          <fillpercent min="70" max="80"/>
        </wares>
      </cargo>
      <position x="-5050m" y="1200m" z="17900m"/>
      <rotation yaw="-128deg" pitch="-3deg"/>
    </create_ship>
  </replace>
</diff>

Not the most elegant but also gives your mod the finer control of everything on the changed ship in one entry.

Thanks YorrickVander. That now has the ship showing up.

Issue now is that it comes up as a PMC ship even tho the owner is set to faction.player. Not sure why that is happening.

[docwho83]

ok played with the code a bit more.

YAY it now comes up as a player owned ship as the mk5 type.

Thanks for the help YorrickVander. Other mods that modify plot_ep1 files had more information on the replace line so I was trying to make sure I had all the cues/cue correct.

All I needed was //cue[@name


end code is as follows.

Code: Select all

<diff> 
<replace sel="//cue[@name='P2_Meet_Borman_Conv_2_End']/actions/create_ship[@name='$TradeShip']">
<create_ship name="$TradeShip" macro="macro.units_size_l_kit_hybrid_02_mk5_macro" zone="$ALB_InnerworldSec_Zone12">
                          <owner exact="faction.player" overridenpc="true"/>
                          <pilot actor="null"/>
