Title: How to unlock all ships & weapons (even the MODS) ???
Post by: wasabitoy on July 25, 2011, 01:13:48 am: How to unlock all ships & weapons even the modded ships and weapons from the campaign?

What files should I alter/edit?

And how should I do it? ... what are the steps or procedure in order to to it?

Please help...

Thanks...

Post by: ktistai228 on July 25, 2011, 01:25:21 am: to add a user made ship you must download it (check the wiki or FSMods), extract the model to /data/models, its maps to /data/maps and edit the table for that ship considering one is not provided (/data/tables/ship.tbm) More information about that on the wiki.
Also drop by the IRC channel for more help!

I also want to change the default ship form the campaign and training... the (Myrmidon)... I want to change it to another ship.

If I follow what you said... will it also change the default ship?

Assuming you already extracted the ships table from the root.fs2.
The default player ship must be edited in the ship table to change it.
These two lines are near the top of the ships table,
Shown bellow, make your changes in this line from GTF Ulysses to whatever ship you are using.

#Default Player Ship
#Name: GTF Ulysses <-- (change name )

I hope this helps, im not an expert. :nervous:

However, in order to use ships in a mission, you have to edit that missions' loadout.

If you actually want to fly it right off the bat, you'll also need to add the ship in the .fc2 campaign file's $Starting Ships line(which you can presumably do in the campaign editor in Fred, too, but I'm too used to just doing things like that in Notepad :P).
