Submenu for stock ships.

[Kirk]

Is there a way to force stock ships, ie nebula, BOP, into a submenu? Simply adding a submenu into the ships plugin doesn't work.

ya thats easy...

add this to the top of the stock ship's plugin (in scripts/custom/ships):
(this case being my stock galaxy, in my game under a "warships" submenu)

Code: [Select]

Foundation.ShipDef.Galaxy.SubMenu = "Warships"
such that it looks like this:

Code: [Select]

import Foundation
import App
Foundation.ShipDef.Galaxy.SubMenu = "Warships"

try that - if youre still stuck, upload the ship's plugin here

I knew explaining it to you a couple of times would pay off! Thanks Jimmy!

[JimmyB76]

 lol   see?  youve taught me a number of things all these years!

[Kirk]

Worked perfectly, thanks guys , though, for some unthinkable reason, when I corrected a mistake I made to the plugin for my BOP and added the submenu, it only recognized the icon name change I made until I deleted the .pyc. Enjoy your new cookie Jimmy!

Edit: Having a problem with the BOP plugin.

[JimmyB76]

ok try this...  and if this doesnt work, i have one more idea...

[Kirk]

It didn't, but I figured it out. The long name was supposed to be "BOP." The displayed name, "Bird of Prey," comes from the TGL, I think.

Edit: Now I'm having trouble with the dry dock. All I have is what I need, and now I get a BSOD on startup.

[MLeo]

Mostlikely either DryDock doesn't exist, or it doesn't exist yet.

Add, below the import Foundation:
import StaticDefs

[Kirk]

Mleo, how would I be able to tell what Dry Dock's name is? I checked the name of the ship file in script/ships, and it is DryDock. Would the name be inside the ship file?

[MLeo]

It's "Drydock" not "DryDock"

[Kirk]

Aaah! That would cause a problem. As soon as I get to my home PC, I will try that out.

It worked, thanks MLeo.
