ok,...lets see.  Again open your odfs folder, and (we will start with the d'drex) find the files named rom_dderidexY.odf and rom_dderidexZ.odf

Scroll down in the first one and find the lines
weapon4 = "rom_cloak"
weaponhardpoints4 = "hp01"

and place under them these lines

weapon5 = "romW_generix_dre2"
weaponhardpoints5 = "hp02" "hp03" "hp35" "hp36"

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Again add this to the second one as well. make sure that this weapon is the last one in the order.  Replace X with the next number in line like 5 is after 4.  That is why it is weapon5 weaponhardpoints5

So this are the lines you want to add to all the ranks of rom_dderidexY.odf and rom_dderidexZ.odf.  Do you understand?

weaponX = "romW_generix_dre2"
weaponhardpointsX = "hp02" "hp03" "hp35" "hp36"






EDIT- Oh yeah I forgot that when roy past it in a rank up, make sure it has a number that matches the rank.  e.g.  rom_dderidexYr2.odf would have the lines

weaponX = "romW_generix_drer22"
weaponhardpointsX = "hp02" "hp03" "hp35" "hp36"

This is pritty important for rank up, but won't cause any problems like crashing.

so each rank should have
weapon5 = "romW_generix_dre2"
weaponhardpoints5 = "hp02" "hp03" "hp35" "hp36"
after weapon4 = "rom_cloak"
weaponhardpoints4 = "hp01" for both avatars?

makesure it isn't jst after the cloak, but last of all.  Also make sure the weapon number and the hardpoint number is also the last, or next number in line.  ALSO, make sure it has a rX arter the name of the weapon.  The x should be the same as the number at the end of the file name you are editing.

so the x is the number of the rank?

posted on August 1st, 2009, 9:45 pm

correct. the x in the name of the weapon is the rank.  The X in the weapon number is the next number in line.

got it so rank 6 should read
weapon5 = "romW_generix_drer62"
weaponhardpoints5 = "hp02" "hp03" "hp35" "hp36"

lets see, I think instead of 5 it should acctually be 6(in rom_dderidexYr6.odf)

And it should be the 7th weapon in rom_dderidexZr6.odf

Just makesure you find all the weapons in the odf, sometimes they arn't in the right place.

both seam to have weapon 6 so its weapon 7 in both

Ah, ok.  As long as it works.  Once you get that working tell me and We can do the next ones. 


TIP:  select your ship, and press enter, type levelup, and hit enter again.  Keep doing this to test your ranks, and make sure there are no mistakes.  With weapons if there is as mistake, either the weapon won't fire(number is already used) or it will crash, you spelled something wrong, or it will crash and give you a strange message like out of memory something.  the last one means you left out a " somewhere.

Try giving a ship a tractor. The name of the odf is npc_tractorbeam (Youch, really fragmented sentences ). Here's an example, using the Excelsior as a base, but fist, you have to find it!

okay, so look up fed_excelsior, and click on it. Then, add the following lines:

weapon4 = "npc_tractorbeam"
weaponHardpoints4 = "hp20"

If you want, you can add this to all the Excelsior ranks ( Add r2, r3, r4, r5, and r6 to fed_excelsior when searching.) and/or give it multiple/different Hardpoints. I typically use hp20 because it look the most like the canon.

I'm sorry if I seem like a jerk because I wrote this, in fact, I feel like a jerk ! But I know that most people are dissapointed by no tractors, and this is my solution. Bye!  ^-^

EDIT: Oops, forgot the quotation marks! Sorry!

Cept that is missing Quotation marks, so it will crash on him.

you told me how to do the neghvar earlier so if im right and thats a big if i should just follow the same method used for the d'deridex yes?

Yep.  Adding weapons are all the same, as long as you make sure the numbers and spellings are done correctly.  However you want to add two weapons to the negh'var, so be real careful with the numbers.

PM me if you need any more help, or just have some questions.

Anyone who wants a Tractior Beam just has to download the Niagara Class.
