[Help] Need Help With a Custom Weapon
Posted: Sat Sep 28, 2013 12:40 pm
Hello everyone! I am new to modding, or programming in general, and I wanted to create a personal mod that adds a fast firing laser. I did everything (at least I think so.) I was told to do in this thread here:
http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=17122
Then I patched the mod in and started playing, but I could not find it in stores, even with rarity 1. It's either a bug or RNG, but I decided to add the weapon to the Kestral's starting loadout.
I added the code from the weapon creating guide to the weapon blueprints, and slightly modified it as I was also playing with Captain's Edition and CE Player Ships Addon mods. I couldn't get it to work, and the Kestral still had the weapons from CE.
I tried to modify the CE Player Ships Addon instead, doing the same thing I did with my weapon blueprint, except in the CEPS.ftl file.
This time, however, it went worse. Neither CEPS, nor my weapon couldn't work.
I uploaded both .ftl files. I hope this is not against the rules, but here they are:
My .ftl file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/zpo5o ... _laser.ftl
Modified CEPS .ftl file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/lczm0 ... dified.ftl
So, here is the code for the weapon:
And here is the ship code I placed both in CEPS addon and my own blueprint:
