[Help] Enemies loading weapons from blueprintLists

[SliderVX]

I'm new to FTL modding and wish to create a mod that includes custom enemies not found in the vanilla game. I've used superluminal 2 to create a test enemy (RM_TEST_DUMMY) which appears to work fine in-game when loaded except it never has any weapons. The following is the code for my custom ship and loading it:

rm_test_dummy.xml:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

		<y>253</y>
	</gib1>
</explosion>

autoBlueprints.xml.append:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<shipBlueprint name="RM_TEST_DUMMY" layout="rm_test_dummy" img="rm_test_dummy">

events_ships.xml.append:

<ship name="RM_TEST_DUMMY" blueprint="RM_TEST_DUMMY">

  </destroyed>
  <deadCrew>
    <text>You killed all of the test dummy's crew.</text>
  </deadCrew>
</ship>

events.xml.append

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<event name="START_GAME">
	<text>This is some custom mod sample text.</text>
</event>

<event name="START_BEACON">
  <text>Dummy text, you can't actually read this.</text>
	<choice hidden="true">
    <text>Battle RM test dummy</text>
    <event>
      <ship load="RM_TEST_DUMMY" hostile="true"/>
		</event>
	</choice>
</event>

I've tried plenty of things including changing <weaponList missiles="10" load="WEAPONS_REBEL"/> to <weaponList missiles="10" count="4" load="WEAPONS_REBEL"/>, removing the <weaponSlots> and <weaponDrones> lines, and loading different weapon blueprintLists, including my own custom weapon blueprintLists. Nothing I do seems to work, the enemy always loads into the game, you can fight and destroy it but it doesn't have any weapons. I am able to set it to load predefined weapons which works but I want my enemies to select random weapons from lists like every other ship in the game.
Can anyone help me with this? I must be doing something wrong. If you want to try-out my code for yourself I've added it as an attachment.

Try:
events_ships.xml.append:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<ship name="RM_TEST_DUMMY" auto_blueprint="RM_TEST_DUMMY">
  <destroyed>
    <text>You destroyed the test dummy.</text>
  </destroyed>
  <deadCrew>
    <text>You killed all of the test dummy's crew.</text>
  </deadCrew>
</ship>

Try:
events_ships.xml.append:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<ship name="RM_TEST_DUMMY" auto_blueprint="RM_TEST_DUMMY">
  <destroyed>
    <text>You destroyed the test dummy.</text>
  </destroyed>
  <deadCrew>
    <text>You killed all of the test dummy's crew.</text>
  </deadCrew>
</ship>

Thank you! This fixes my issue. I thought the problem was in autoBlueprints.xml.append.
