hi - looking for correcte file

[Chayde]

Hi , just hopeing to make the split M3 and M4 purchasable from a small ship trader. I've been looking in the files but can't seam to figure out how to alter the buy and sell list of the small or medium ship traders. I even tried adding the M3 and M4 to the Large shipyard . they appear in the list , and i can select them up until i select buy ... and it tells me it can't (or more accuratly " Whats the real order! " in a snooty argon voice >.< .

any help would be appreciated

thank you.

Will

Hey Will,

Haven't tested it, but I think they're in the shipyard macros in assets\structures\Economy\production\macros\

For example, struct_econ_prod_shipm_dv_macro.xml has:

Code: Select all

      <production wares="shp_m_canteran_01 shp_m_canteran_02 shp_m_crystal_transporter shp_m_container_transporter shp_m_plasma_transporter shp_m_energy_transporter shp_m_plasma_collector shp_m_nividium_collector shp_m_ice_collector shp_m_hydrogen_collector">
        <queue>
          <item ware="shp_m_canteran_01" />
          <item ware="shp_m_canteran_02" />
          <item ware="shp_m_crystal_transporter" />
          <item ware="shp_m_container_transporter" />
          <item ware="shp_m_plasma_transporter" />
          <item ware="shp_m_energy_transporter" />
          <item ware="shp_m_plasma_collector" />
          <item ware="shp_m_nividium_collector" />
          <item ware="shp_m_ice_collector" />
          <item ware="shp_m_hydrogen_collector" />
        </queue>
      </production>

Am assuming that the ship trader then simply accesses the list of wares available in the station inventory that's accessible via the dock that he/she's responsible for.

edit: adding "shp_s_split_m3" and "shp_s_split_m4" to <production wares="..."> and to the <item ... /> lists in this file should add them for purchase to the DeVries-type shipyard(s).

ps. will probably require new gamestart or save edit unless you know how to use the patch command to patch the save file, maybe via MD. (I haven't figured it out yet.)

would work but one point here is not accurate: small Ship Traders offer all Ships the Station has in Storage, not only the ones of the respective Production Module
Also note that Producing M size Ships in an S Production Module might not work without further modding and vice versa
(Big Shiptraders on the other hand only offer the Ships their respective Buildmodule has to offer and, as OP noticed, can only build those which can practically dock there)

He he. Thanks for the save, UniTrader. Sorry, didn't notice that there are "ships" macros as well (for s-sized ships.)

Yup. The file you want is, then, either:

struct_econ_prod_ships_dv_macro.xml
struct_econ_prod_ships_macro.xml
or struct_econ_prod_ships_ol_macro.xml

(or make your own!)

depending on where you want 'em.

ok - i'll try looking at my Xcat and see if something is broken somewhere .

Thankyou for your help.

It was changed in X:R 3.0. (My archives don't go back to before the 3.0 betas, so it could be sooner, but the latest struct_econ_prod_ships_macro.xml is dated 27.Nov.2014.) Maybe 08.cat/dat?
