Who's ablative armor are you going to use? FTech's ablative armor or ATP's?
since I have no idea, whichever is best. I like the one that shows up in engineering as diferent armour sets. like port ablaive, starboard ablative, etc. beyond that, i dont care :)
Ok, that is FTech. There is documentation on how to add ablative armor to a ship included with the FTech download.
ok that guide seems good but if by "open the ship plugin" they want me to go to /scripts/ships/hardpoints/courageous.py" then I dont see the line Foundation.shipdef
or am i lost?
That's the hp, not the plugin. The plugin is located in scripts\Custom\Ships.
THanks for your help, I have gotten far, but one more question. How do you create the hull property for it? i guess that goes in hardpoints, but what is the text I should put in there?
Thank you!!!
I highly urge you not to manually edit hp files. Download the SDK from BCF and use the MPE included in there.
what should I put in the XYZ? I am using Right Left Fore and Aft plates
That's up to you. It all depends on the ship. Without doing it myself, I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly.
