Hey Hlp users, as the title says, I want to make the escape pod playable, I know I can do it modifying the table at least I guess that, some help would be nice

In $flags add the following:

( "player_ship" "default_player_ship" )

http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Ships.tbl#.22player_ship.22

isnt "default_player_ship" a once use flag to tell fred what the default ship should be?

[CommanderDJ]

Yeah, just to make a ship usable by the player, all you need is the "player_ship" flag.

isnt "default_player_ship" a once use flag to tell fred what the default ship should be?

I don't think so. If you pop open retail, many ships have that flag. I'm guessing it's used in the Team Loadout from the Wiki. This would be helpful in case you want to have a choice to choose other ships as well.

EDIT: I'm retarded. It makes it so that the ship is checked by default in the loadout. Derp.

"Default player ship" means that it's available by default (the box in Team Loadout is ticked).

[SypheDMar]

Yeah, my bad.

Thanks to all the people for the feedback I will try this in a while, =D

If you want to make Shivan ships playable, you'll have to add "Allowed PBanks/Allowed Dogfight PBanks" and "Allowed SBanks/Allowed Dogfight SBanks"

I added the flag, and it appear me into the fred editor, it says it not have weapons, I know that is obvious so I skip that, enter a simple mission I create but I dont see the pod, I see the Ulysses any suggestion?

[swamper123]

Yeah I made it, I was trying to do this for a long time, thanks for all of you, and I will use that shivan playable ship idea in a mission ,thanks
