Communist Worlds Union (v0.1)

[clomaka]

it's been so long, but my best advice is to (save off what you've done, and) restart from the base game and add things in one piece at a time. Things need to be added in multiple different places, and if you screw one piece up, it all crashes.

general workflow that i remember:
***check to make sure it all runs correctly after *each* step***
1- create a new ship (w. prepackaged weapons, etc) and add it to an existing race, generally human.
2- create new race and add your ship into it (and delete it from where it was before)
3- tweek the loadout of the ship
4- if you're adding new weapons etc, now is the time to add them into the mix.

this all helps you figure out where things are going wrong. if you add everything at once, you'll have no clue where to start. if i recall correctly, one of the larger pains was getting the naming of the ship correct in the hull list in game.ini vs the ship definition in the (race).ini vs. the name in the (hull).ini (and having the (hull).ini named correctly, too).

quests are a whole other can of worms :<.

sorry to be so general, but I hope that helps.
