Moding Questions

[SirDarwin]

Just thought I'd make a topic for people to ask questions about modify the text files, and the results of said change

One question I have, does anyone know if in VehicleSize.txt, if the Code for the vehical can be any size, or is it limited to two characters?

Heh thanks

Another question...Still modifying the VehicleSize.txt file, and now I'm trying to use the Requirement function for the ships..but I can't seem to figure out how it works. I mean they have :
Requirement Can Have Aux Con := True

And yet "Aux Con" doesn't appear in ANY other text file (text search with Win2k and grep under linux). If someone can help me out with how this works I'd appreciate it a lot!

An "Aux Con" is an Auxiliary Control, an "Emergency Bridge" if the main bridge is destroyed. It's in the components file under its full name.

Incidently, in case you didn't notice, you can put *any* component in that list..

In case you didn't catch what I meant...how does "Auxillary Control" get shortened to "Aux Con"? I mean its not listed that way anywhere else.

I've tried adding other componets to my "must" have for ships, and it never shows up in the game.
