Changing base chars - Cobalt_Raven - 11-08-2008

Hello all,

Since Im still a beginner in creating systems I wanted to ask you all a question.
I created the system with all its bases, but I have a problem. I don't know how to change the base characters. I used the orbital spa and cruises Baden base but how can I change the chars on that base to Outcast characters.
I also would want to know how to change the news and rumours on the base and also the interaction with base chars, if anyone can please help me out.

Greetings, Cobalt Raven.

I am on that stage right now it does take quite some time if your new to it as well, as in alot of testing to see if your modifications worked out. But anyways simply right click the base/planet and it should show a list saying {Edit Ship, Properties, Equipment, Factions, and Base Characters}

If you want to change the base's faction belonging, simply go to edit factions, and delete the origional faction that was set by default and it should be clear on how to add one.

For editing what kind of characters are at a base simply go to edit characters, and add, remove and edit the characters. Make sure not to delete the original characters though such as the bartender, ship dealers etc, but you can edit them as you wish.

For editing rumors and news and what characters say. For news go to edit news, and either create or add existing news to the base's news listings.

For adding rumors on what the characters say go to edit characters, and then click a existing character and then either add an existing rumor or make a new one. You can place more than 1 rumor on a character by the way.

Hope that helps you out.

Lol I tried it in FLE and of course it doesn't work the way I want it lol. I can change the costumes but i can't see the names with my new base staff. Also I wanted to chance the Baden bar tender into a outcast female bartender it did work, but when I changed the ship dealer into a female outcast char the arms are not positioned in the right way :crazy: lol. I guess this why I never see a female ship-, commodity-, or weapons dealer. :laugh:

Maybe someone can tell me what I did wrong maybe I need some other files.

This won't help, but it surely isn't nice to see the girl with big male hands.

To make a bartender/dealer female, you need to change its "fidget script" to a female one. I am not sure if you can edit it in FLE, I do it directly in mBases.ini.

there is a line similar to this (this is for Manhattan bartender):
[font=curier]fixture = li0101_fix_bartender, Zs/NPC/Bartender/01/A/Stand, scripts\vendors\li_bartender_fidget.thn, bartender

you need to edit the script path and make it like this:
[font=curier]fixture = li0101_fix_bartender, Zs/NPC/Bartender/01/A/Stand, scripts\extras\fidget_stand_female_01.thn, bartender

Scripts fidget_stand_female_01.thn to fidget_stand_female_06.thn are available.
