[Solved] - increase Cobbie cargo capacity?

[lfnfan]

slightly embarrassed to be asking about cheating (but)

I am trying to 'tweak' my Cobra 3's cargo capacity, but I am meeting resistance....

I've altered the oolite-save file max cargo from 35 - 40tc and started Oolite with shift+click. My Cobbie still has 35tc. When I re-check the save file it seems to have reverted back to 35tc.

Updating max cargo in ships plist seems not to help either. I have the extended cargo bay - perhaps that's complicating things?

Is this something that's now build in to the oolite.app itself? I'm on Linux Mint 18, Oolite 1.84 installed via software manager. I have Griff ships installed.

I am also toying with the idea of five missile mounts rather than four. Perhaps the answer to the cargo is also applicable to the missile mounts.

Still loving Oolite after eight years

You probably want a "shipdata-overrides.plist" file, containing something like this:

Code: Select all

{
	"cobra3-player" = {
		max_cargo = 25;
		extra_cargo = 15; 
	};
}

Change "cobra3-player" to be the ship datakey for whatever version of the Cobra you're running with.

Yes, just add this also:

Code: Select all

max_missiles = 5;

Alternatively you can install and buy a Cobra Mark III-XT or a similar ship.

Aha, great. Thank you both. I will add that in to the override.plist

The XT looks good - think I will be heading in that direction!
