About the engines, there are the same number of engines as in the stock game.

No, facilities can't have weapons.

Re: Capship Mod
 

Then what is Engines.txt?

Re: Capship Mod
 

Oh damn! I forgot that was in the folder when I rezipped the mod for you. Engines.txt is the file I got when I was playing around with the tech gridder. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Doesn't mind. Made me think. Gave me inspiration.

Re: Capship Mod
 

You say you don't have a working AI yet? I'll work on it, see what I can do. AI's aren't exactly my specialty, but I may get something rudimentary going. I'll let you know.

Re: Capship Mod
 

I like the idea of facilities generating shield points, I think I will add that to my mod.

Re: Capship Mod
 

Sorry, I worked on getting an AI to work for about the past 3 hours, and nothing. I hope someone else can get one working.

Re: Capship Mod
 

One more question: what does the "Drop Troops" ability do?

Re: Capship Mod
 

Nothing. Like Palace, Star - Unstable, and several others, it is 100% non-functional. Such abilities can be handy as extra AI Tags and to add more bullet points in the description of the component. A very common use is to use a non-functional ability to add a tag mentioning any to hit bonus/penalty a weapon has, since this value is displayed nowhere in-game.

Check out SEIV Modding 101 for a complete listing of all abilities. Tells you what they do and which files they are useable in. Many facility abilities can be used as ship components, and vice versa. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
