It may or may not work like that anymore -- as I said, I've tested this before the AE update.
I cant XML edit so I always use superluminal...
Well this guy tought you how to XML edit it in. Didn;t you say "Teach me" earlier?

Oh well, it's a good point nonetheless, it made me notice that I didn't add that option to the editor...
Anyway, xml is all text, really. You can open .xml files with basic Notepad and make the changes you need, and save the file.

Well, I finally got to the point where I can try this, and here are my results:
Working:
Code: Select all
<blueprintList name="KLINGON_WEAPONS">
<name>K_DISRUPTORS</name>
</blueprintList>
<shipBlueprint ....>
<weaponList missiles="20" count="2" load="KLINGON_WEAPONS" />
</shipBlueprint>
Not working:
Code: Select all
<shipBlueprint ....>
<weaponList missiles="20" count="2" />
<weapon name="K_DISRUPTORS" />
<weapon name="K_DISRUPTORS" />
</weaponList>
</shipBlueprint>

That's not working because you have an error in there; an extra slash closing the weaponList before the weapons are loaded. This method does work when error-free. It is what the default Rebel Rigger that the games uses does.
Code: Select all
<!---- Crash protection default ship blueprint. DO NOT REMOVE -->
<shipBlueprint name="DEFAULT" layout="rebel_squat" img="rebel_squat">
<class>Rebel Rigger</class>
<systemList>
<pilot power="1" room="0"/>
<oxygen power="1" room="2"/>
<shields power="2" room="4"/>
<engines power="2" room="7"/>
<weapons power="3" room="6"/>
<drones power="4" room="1"/>
</systemList>
<droneList count="2" drones="4">
<drone name="DEFENSE_1"/>
<drone name="DEFENSE_1"/>
</droneList>
<weaponList count="2" missiles="10">
<weapon name="LASER_HEAVY_1"/>
<weapon name="LASER_BURST_1"/>
</weaponList>
<health amount="10"/>
<maxPower amount ="15"/>
<crewCount amount = "3" class="human"/>
</ship>
</ship>? Well, the game does have some errors that it is capable of overlooking.

Sunuvabeach. You're probably right! That extra slash indicates that it's a solo tag, and the game won't look for the actual closing tag. That explains why it kept on loading a Rebel Rigger. It's a good thing I posted my code, so that I could have the errors of my ways shown to me.
Thanks RAD-82!
