[Solved] Escape Pods, again.

[Dave McRoss]

Hi people, I have got the same problem 'bout escape capsules turning to slaves and beautiful neolites.oxp (I just love my brand new Python ET).
I managed, someway, to edit the code in shipyard.dat, deletingthe unpiloted line here and there. I obtained the following code.

Code: Select all

"escape-capsule" =
	{
		aft_eject_position = "0.0 0.0 -2.0";
		ai_type = "homeAI.plist";
		cargo_type = "CARGO_SLAVES";
		energy_recharge_rate = 2;
		

But nothing changed. How can I do? I like to rescue people (and like the insurance too!)

The problem is caused because Neolite sets the unpiloted to yes. (Default is no) When the escape-capsule can't receive a pilot, the cargo stays slaves. Deleting the line (or setting it to 'no') should fix the problem. I don't know why it does not work for you. Maybe there is another oxp also adding unpiloted escape-pods in your system.

And there is no shipyard.dat. I guess you mean shipdata.plist.

Apart from that: are you talking about neolite's shipdata.plist, or another one? And what did you actually do to the "unpiloted"-key? Your code-snipped doesn't contain it, but then it only contains entries from a to e and is missing everything else as well. So we cannot be sure what you actually did.

[Dave McRoss]

I'm talking about Neolite shipdata.plist, and, as I said before, I deleted "unpiloted = yes" line.
Now I'm going to check other oxp for the same line.
EDIT: I did find nothing.

This is my OXP list

Have you pressed the SHIFT key while starting? If not please do it .-)

[Dave McRoss]

Yeah I did ^^
I resolved the problem by installing Griff Escape Pods:

It's seems to override the previous behaviour, so I'm happy
Happy Friday to all!
