need assist with safegame modding: change unboardable ship to boardable

Post by GrastDK »

i found the right ship and im thinks this is the line that needs to be changed.. but to what:

<component class="ship_xl" macro="units_size_xl_cs_omicron_ship_04_macro" connection="space" attacker="[0x4aaf]" attackmethod="hitbymissile" attacktime="962959.989" owner="hereticvanguards" knownto="player" capturable="0" id="[0x49b7]">

what do i change: capturable="0" to be able to board the ship?

capturable="1" is not the right answer i know that... lol

//cheers

Just delete capturable="0" out of the line and you should be fine.

So

Code: Select all

<component class="ship_xl" macro="units_size_xl_cs_omicron_ship_04_macro" connection="space" attacker="[0x4aaf]" attackmethod="hitbymissile" attacktime="962959.989" owner="hereticvanguards" knownto="player" capturable="0" id="[0x49b7]">
would be changed to:

Code: Select all

<component class="ship_xl" macro="units_size_xl_cs_omicron_ship_04_macro" connection="space" attacker="[0x4aaf]" attackmethod="hitbymissile" attacktime="962959.989" owner="hereticvanguards" knownto="player" id="[0x49b7]">

Sorry, a bit OT, but why is there an uncapturable omicron ship owned by the heretic vanguards?

They were classed as 'criminal' when I've done missions like that in the past.

Does the criminal classification come with the capturable="0" tag? Confused.

Or is this a plot thing? I've never yet progressed any of my plot games to Omicron Lyrae.

Maybe something left over from the invincible HV ships bug from 2.0

It's comments like this that make me so glad that I wasn't around back in those days. Invincible pirates! Whew.

The criminal classification came from the missions I took and most don't have the capturable="0" tag or at least they didn't. The tag is there solely to stop a ship from a capture attempt.

It was a few patches back when I last took on an Omekron in a Cartel mission. They were shown as 'criminal' but didn't have the capturable="0" tag so could be captured and a captured ship didn't fail the mission. I remember certain other types of missions that before v2.0 did fail if you captured the ship instead of destroying it and I think they added the tag in later patches to prevent that happening in those cases. Also, some plot ships have that tag too as well as the xenon capitals.

new question regarding the ship...

when i shot it down in health, the ship used construction drones to speed up repairing.. i killed the drones and capped the ship..

now i want to add some drones of my own but the ship has 0 of 0 space to drones?...

how can it have drones when in enemy hands but not in mine?

can i add drone capacity to it?


P.S.
in the shipyard it is classed as a trader, and description says a heavy armed trader so guess it needs drones

I'd imagine the drone bay got destroyed during capping. Once repaired you should be ok. Flying it to a shipyard and pay for repairs is slow but probably faster than an engineer without drones trying to fix everything.

edit - if after repairs you are still 0/0 drones pop a question in tech support as a recent bug might still be in the game in edge cases.

you where right

after a quick fix in the shipyard it was 0 of 150 as normal..
sorry for asking too fast, just got impatient i guess..
