all i want is the block of information for items i have access to
| CODE |
| Item=115,Shields,10,14,50,0,True,0; CrewFactors=2; |
is obvoiusly for shields, but how do i get it for shields MK II or other items that are in there? (okay so shields mk II i can guess based on the numbers, but what about for completely different items?)
The ship editor is great - until you want to design in something that isn't in the standard order set. Most of us can copy and paste items into the .cfg file, but not if the item type is something new....
Dan
Item=115,Shields,10,14,50,0,True,0;
115 = item number
Shields = item name
10 = MUs
14 = item type
50 = shield factors (value depends on item type, usually fairly obvious)
the rest mostly don't matter if I remember right (it's late)
will check out the yahoogroup archive, i think there is a search option somewhere (i only have the last 2 months or so since i changed to using imap in my current email client, although i have the rest archived at home somewhere i think)
it's number 10836 if thats any use.hmm doesn't explain which types do what, i guess i'll have to trial and error to find out. and to be honest i'm not even sure if the item i'm adding will have an effect on any of the numbers so i might just add it as mass and lots of zeros.

Weapons won't change anything, neither will things like cloaks, integrity/wormhole stabilisers etc.
Email me if you need more help.
doh.. didn't think of that
cheers steve
BTW, you don't need to add new items to the pl_items.cfg file. You can have multiple _items.cfg files and they are combined at run time. I put all my aff stuff in extra_items.cfg and have (well, had) an all_items.cfg where I put everything just to experiment or assess others' designs. (all_items.cfg can be moved out of the folder with the ship editor and thus is no longer used...)
