Campaign changes - Need Help

<< < (2/2)

Nahdar:
How can i save my changes?

I extract the complete nexus_00.dat in a desktop file, but if i understand it right, I have to recomprimize the nexus_00.dat file again after i did my changes? How can i do that, did not find it in the readme.

The Old Dragon:
Nope, Nexus runs quite happily with the folders version of Nexus_00.dat. Just make sure that you have either the Nexus_00.dat file or the folders in the root directory. Nexus will get confused and won't run if you have them both.

Nahdar:
YES! it works,

Big thank you :D

Just one thing left to be perfekt now. Do you know how i can unlock the locked slots of the brutus and sparta? I can't find it in there ...

I *think* you can change this in the universe/tactics/tacticstypes.ini file in combination with the universe/story/objects/player_fleet.sobj file. Never mind if you can't see .ini or .sobj extensions after those filenames.

But before tinkering there, MAKE A COPY OF THESE FILES AND STORE THEM ON ANOTHER FOLDER!

In tacticstypes, you'll find in the SHIPTYPE 48 and SHIPTYPE 49 paragraphs a line saying "Devices #weap_heLaser ;" and "Devices #weap_techScanner ;".
Elsewhere in these paragraphs devices are defined using a "DefDevices" parameter instead of the "Devices" parameter. I think using the "Devices" parameter makes a device unchangeable in the ship configuration screen. Try changing these two "Devices" parameters to "DefDevices", and start a new campaign (iirc, the contents of most Nexus files are only read into a new campaign at the start of it, not halfway an existing campaign safe file).
