Non-player ship

[Lord Winslow]

is there anyway to edit so a non player ship can become playable?

Get hold of the illicit unlock OXP. It's available at the original Oosat.

WTF!!!

You're not saying that anyone can get one of those @%&$>:ç# with multilasers and turrets and all the seven balls and...
OOOooooooohhhhhh........


Are you?

No, not quite. While you can edit things so that you can have any ship, what won't work for players, at the moment, are multilasers and turrets, so you can rest easy!

You can edit the shipyard.plist in any text editor (I use Crimson Editor - it's a free one).

here's a typical shipyard.plist:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>mosquito-player</key>
	<dict>

	</dict>

so if you wanted the Navy Asp for example, open up the behemoth.oxp and make a new plist called 'shipyard'
Add the code above, find out the <key>name</key> of the Navy Asp which just so happens to be

Code: Select all

<key>asp-fighter</key>

add this to the code instead of <key>mosquito-player</key> and then hey presto the Navy Asp is available to buy.
You can check Wiki for more info on what everything else in the code does and it's pretty easy to pick up. I've no coding experience at all!
