How do you alter ship's cargo slot capacity?

21 years 9 months ago

I'm new to the modding scene and I am wondering how I would go about changing the cargo slot capacity on the heavy corvette.
Any ideas or input will be appreciated.

In the heavy_corvette.ini file, change this number.

Code:

; The number of internal cargo slots
cargo_space=3

It's all the way at the bottom.

I tried this, but I got a message saying that I can not save the file. Do I have to use a hex editor or modding tool?

probably can't save it because you are in the resource zip.

copy the ini out of the resource.zip and paste it in (the unzipped) resource/sims/ships/player folder. Change the read only attribute so you can modify it. then change the cargo_space and just leave it in the folder where you put it.

Download the graphics SDK and look at the sims_and subsim_creation document in there for more info about modding
