race resources

posted on August 9th, 2011, 1:11 am

Hey guys, quick modding question.  How do I limit which resources a race can utilize?  In my case, I want to have a race that only uses supply, but I can't figure out how to get rid of the dilithium and tritanium.

What do you mean by only utilize a resource? Show up on the GUI? Use for costs or?

Show up on the GUI.

Ok well, that almost did it.  The icons are still there but the numbers are gone.  See this screens shot.

Nope, they are not in the races interface texture.  I think it is contained in the race sprite file, but I"m not sure...  I will have to try some more in the morning.

I see references to resources in the gui_interface and gui_interface_misc, if that helps. I assume that you just have to move those references out of that section into the races respective GUI files (instead of using #include on all of them)

If you determine how this adds to a solution, I'd love to know, as I'd like to finish off that bit of the tutorial

ok in your race .cfg file place
resourcePanelSize = 3
resourcePanel_0 = 0 0 0 0 // 0 0 48 48 // dilithium
resourcePanel_1 = 0 0 0 0 // 160 0 48 48 // latinum
resourcePanel_2 = 320 0 48 48 // biomatter
resourcePanel_3 = 0 0 0 0 // 480 0 48 48 // metal

this will keep all but biomatter/supply (also comments out the orig values lol)

Ok, here is my cfg file.

Code: Select all

#include "gui_defaultrace.cfg"

SelectionRectangleColor   =      0.4   0.6   1

minimapShipFilterArea         =    22   352   25   12
minimapStationFilterArea      =    47   352   25   12

groupTextColor            =   0.6      0.7      1.0

noCrew = 1
noOfficers = 1
noDilithium = 1
noLatinum = 1
noMetal = 1
noBiomatter = 0
resourcePanel_0               =   0   0   0   0   //   0   0   48   48   // dilithium
resourcePanel_1               =   0   0   0   0   //   160   0   48   48   // latinum
resourcePanel_2               =   0  0   48   48   //   biomatter
resourcePanel_3               =   0   0   0   0   //   480   0   48   48   // metal


and here is the result.  I managed to get the image all the way to the left, and get rid of the other resources, but the numbers are still all the way to the right.
