Re: FTL Captains Edition: Call for Events/Textlists

Alright, so the surrender event is written.
Both the initial encounter and the surrender event have been tested in MTE and are... sort of working.
So for the initial encounter, the game fails to load the proper ship. Whether or not that's because of MTE, I don't know, but I'm guessing it isn't.
Here's the corresponding code that should make this work I think :
Event :
Ship blueprint :
There's a corresponding img folder, .txt file and .xml file for the hull, layout, gibs and mounts.
This mod is also loaded in by the way...
And the ship won't surrender, probably because it doesn't load in the correct ship and when it blows up it just gives you a reward without any text.
Here's the events_ships.xml.append anyway :
Which brings me to my final question.
If I'm not mistaken, it seems like I'm either misusing the <reveal_map /> tag or it can't be used in conjunction with <modifyPursuit amount="-1" />
Either that or the <reveal_map /> tag doesn't work in MTE for reasons unknown to me...
Here's an example :
I get the fleet delay, but not the map. Are they mutually exclusive or...?
So other than getting the correct ship to fight and having it surrender with the proper event, I'm done.
Anyway, sorry about my constant pestering. Feel free to tell me to shut it.
The thing is though, if I get 1 completely custom event made myself, I can use it as a blank for future ones...
Just like I did with custom weapons.
