Hello all! Imma glad to join your commutiny. You're doing a great job.
Now i want to ask for a plugin which adds extra equipment slots, such as hp_gun_special_x where x is above 10.
I saw adoxa primarilly works on programming stuff, maybe he may help me...

Wow, you read my mind. I also asked about this one.
I compressed my fighter's turrets to 5 levels, but free 5 slots still not enough for my new stuff.
This is a popular request i think.

Big "A" has stated a few times this is coming.. but is a fair (long) way off..

Patience.. he knows we REALLY want this.. and thus will deliver the goods when there done.. but not before. when that time is is purely up to Adoxa's discretion..

It will however rock .. like a drunken yobo to AC/DC complete with stubby and thongs (but not a XXXX.. a VB.. hehe) ..

yes.. that was a joke for Adoxa

Indeed this question was asked vrey much times, and wasn't answered yet. I don't think it's really suitable for Guns, but it's perfect for Turrets.
Meanwhile you have to change the original vanilla order of turret classes to add in capital turrets.
BTW SWAT team had managed to add extra equipment categories for cap turrets. You can ask OP_R8R about it if thats what youre looking for.

it was asked really many times. if SWAT managed to implement it and we yet do not have any solution probably this is because OP is not willing to share the tech with us... or he has just a workaround we did not discover yet.

Hmm... OP doesn't tell us how its done, but it doesn't mean we can't use his files to learn it! Don't get me wrong, i don't say we should use the same file, but just "scan" it for details.

It doesn't count. Those hardpoint types alredy exist and are just hidden from the player. If you make them goods, you can mount them, even tho the hardpoints don't display.

Lets get back to the topic OK?

Are you young kidz still stuck on more and more blooming weapon classes?

Or if you mean equipment slots, then this is easy - add new hardpoints to your models in HardCMP, and you can call them something like HpEquipBay01, 02, 03 etc.

Then you can attach equipment like shield upgrades, shield rechargers, power cells, etc to these. (But I'm not telling you how just yet. )

well, ST, the vanilla balance of classes is pretty good but when it comes to capital ships turrets it is really a problem to get enough classes there keeping enough for freighters and fighters.
besides, it'd be cool in some way to have slots for a certain type of equipment where you can't mount any other regular shield or thruster.. and preferably managed client-side or hardcoded, not hooked into the server.

What about skipping the entire class levels, and use the 1 - 10 as slots for different types?

If a player wants to equip a level 10 to a Starflier, so what? It probably won't be a good idea, as he will find out.

Irl, there are no compatibilty issues when I would try to equip a class 10 turret on my car, though it's just a Toyota Yaris (The police might try to take me off the road though. If they catch me )

In that case, it's been answered.


No.


*EDIT to remove "stupid solutions"*
Since mods have utilised such stupid solutions for the past 7 years to get around limitations, whilst you expect people to create solutions to get around the limitations you don't like, then bollocks to leaving such ideas for you
