Talk:Shipdata.plist

ugh. this can use a lot of help and revision. something to build on I hope. Murgh

it's brilliant! One request: 30: ScanClass: list of available classes? --Rxke 20:01, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

thx. hopefully some of these subcategories will grow big.Murgh

list of things that could be added or definitely bear to be elaborated on.

• accuracy - miners only?
• fuel - what is default when omitted?
• rotational_velocity
• script_actions
• setup_actions
• thrust - there must be a better explanation.
• weapon_offset

• station/carrier/buoy specific entries..

and anything else? Murgh

• added cargo_carried and some additional comments. Arexack.
• 1.62rc3 (Final):

Cargo bay expansion size can now be customised
(<key>extra_cargo</key><integer>value</integer> in shipdata.plist entry).

New in v1.63!

(v1.63) You can now specify the cargo within a cargopod (or any other item)> Set the cargo_type entry to CARGO_CARRIED, and a entry for cargo_carried to a string specifying the amount and then the commodity name for the container.

egCode:

<key>cargo_type</key> 
<string>CARGO_CARRIED</string> 
<key>cargo_carried</key> 
<string>4 Gold</string> 

.. would be used in the shipdata.plist entry of a pod (with role 'cargopod') that always holds 4 kg of Gold.

Info dump

At user request, I went through the code and found all the shipdata.plist keys I could see used anywhere, and dumped them in the forum here. It would be helpful if someone merged that info into this page. *looks meaningfully at the user who did the requesting* Ask any specific questions about what keys do in the aforementioned forum thread. -Ahruman 10:38, 21 July 2007 (BST)
