Custom Boarding/Antipersonnel drone stats?

[theDoomBox]

Hello modding community, I'm a bit new here and just need a couple pointers on customizing your boarding, sys repair, or antipersonnel drones in a way so that they have different names or power costs. All I need to know is what folders, files or images I need to stick to my ship mod in order for it to have a custom drone of one of the above. If you can provide a link, that would be great as well.

Thanks!

Not sure whether or not this is hardcoded.

I've seen people do it, but I can't quite give you the specific mod.

Assuming you know how modding works, what you're looking for is Blueprints.xml. You want to modify (via blueprints.xml.append and Slipstream) the stuff listed as "droneBleuprint". There's one for each drone.

I was guessing it would have something to do with that. Now I just need the format they go in. Any good step by step tutorials out there?

this could be helpful. although it's for weapons, they are fairly similar to drones so it should be helpful. it also has some info on packaging files.

I already figured it out on my own time by now, but thanks anyways. I wish I had found out about that tutorial before spending countless hours messing around with other people's mods, trying to figure out what everything meant.

Just a ship mod, I decided not to add the drone in the end though and its been released without. [insert shameless self -promotion]
