New to modding -- file controls cargo items

18 years 4 months ago

#19013

Hey guys, I'm new to modding the IW2EoC. I'm trying to add new cargos into the game, but I only found the text. Although it has number in excel, it does not match the number in FutureTrader. So my assumption is that there must be somewhere that has a list of cargo with its index number.

Anyone care to tell me which file it is? I'm trying to add new blueprints to the game so that the base can build weapons as well as ammos

. Maybe later I'll add making food and water. It's just fun to do it!

The problem is, after I added new items to the cfg list in FutureTrader, (starting index #901), and changed the package file.
from

Code:

if ( cargo_int < 700 )

to

Code:

if ( cargo_int < 700 || cargo_int > 800 )

in 2 or 3 places, then changed

Code:

if ( cint < 700 )

to

Code:

if ( cint < 700 || cint > 800 )

It works well, but when you load up the cargo screen in the menu, the blueprints I just purchased erased automatically.

Anyone knows how to prevent it from removing if we cannot add new cargos to the game?

Any help would be appreciated

Also I looked into the IFF mod's "Leaf Tabacco" bug, I'm really started wondering why don't they just add a new cargo? Is that because of the game's engine limition?

It has "VB Runtime Error" here when I try to edit the topic, so I'll start a reply here.

I think I figured out how to "stay" in inventory, and keep the blueprint. But I'm curious why it won't show in the "inventory" or "recycling" menu.

I added these after

Code:

//UniGUI.PayPlayer( 100000000 );

in futuretrade.pkg

Code:

       iCargo.Create( 612, "Cargo_AssultCannonBlueprint", true, 10000, false, 10000, true, 50, "", "/html/encyclopedia/technology/weapons/energy_weapons/assault_cannon.html", true );
        iCargo.Create( 613, "Cargo_AMPBCBlueprint", true, 9500, false, 9500, true, 50, "", "/html/encyclopedia/technology/weapons/energy_weapons/antimatter_pbc.html", true );

        iCargo.Create( 620, "Cargo_CryoPBCBlueprint", true, 900, false, 900, true, 50, "", "/html/encyclopedia/technology/weapons/energy_weapons/pbc_cryo.html", true );

        iCargo.Create( 629, "Cargo_AMStreamBlueprint", true, 10000, false, 10000, true, 50, "", "/html/encyclopedia/technology/weapons/energy_weapons/antimatter_stream.html",true );
        iCargo.Create( 630, "Cargo_TwinPackLauncherBlueprint", true, 1125, false, 1125, true, 50, "", "/html/encyclopedia/technology/weapons/missiles/TwinPackMissileLauncher.html", true );
        iCargo.Create( 631, "Cargo_TriPackLauncherBlueprint", true, 1875, false, 1875, true, 50, "", "/html/encyclopedia/technology/weapons/missiles/TripackMissileLauncher.html", true );
        iCargo.Create( 632, "Cargo_QuadPackLauncherBlueprint", true, 2500, false, 2500, true, 50, "", "/html/encyclopedia/technology/weapons/missiles/QuadpackMissileLauncher.html", true );

I also changed the cfg file in futuretrader, copied 2 text files about cargos to futuretrader mod's zip file in text folder, and added those names and comments in there.

I'm also curious about where the index is, so that I can add water and food blueprints there. Futuretrader has no description on those normal cargos.

Okay... Now that I knew the last problem was NOT SOLVED. And I know exactly where the code is: I see that in icargoscript.h header file. Is there a way to plug the header in the executable? Or can I plug the header in one of the packages?
