Ok, I've Tried Several Thing so Far. First I used the Object (Using FLE to Place Things) and a Nomad Asteroid. When that Didn't work i tried an Asteroid Miner Base (and That Didn't Work) Is there a particular Piece of Script i need to set up for this?

hmmm animated miners... I thought that ppl already know how to do this since it was done for CF 2 years ago already (nvm)

well ok - you simply place a normal miner (solar) where you want to have it... then you create a loadout for it

add this to the loadout:
equip = mining_ship_enhaust, HpExhaust01
equip = mining_ship_enhaust, HpExhaust02
equip = mining_ship_dust01, HpDust01
equip = mining_ship_dust02, HpDust02
equip = mining_ship_armhit01, HpDust01
equip = mining_ship_armhit02, HpDust02
equip = mining_ship_hitsparks, HpDust01
equip = mining_ship_sucking01, HpSuck01
equip = mining_ship_sucking02, HpSuck02
equip = mining_ship_arms
equip = mining_ship_engine_sound

thats it... more is not required

Yep, thats it. For more i have added some lines in the tut-section !

Would it be a similar thing for somoke on Gas Miners

Post Mon Mar 26, 2007 5:53 am

Yes, it would be quite similar for gas miners. I believe that a loadout already used for operational gas miners is gasminer, so put that into your loadout line and it should come alive.

Bear in mind if you're using the old gas miner model you will have to create a new loadout for it and add the exhaust ports etc, prob need some new hardpoints as well, i've already done this but don't have the files handy lol

Hmmm... Interesting. Does anyone have a Loadout Ready for the old Gas Miner Model?

Post Thu Mar 29, 2007 7:14 am

A loadout is useless if the model doesn't have the hardpoints. I could give you my loadout but it won't work for you because i added the correct hardpoints to the old gas miner model which you don't have. You would need both to have it working properly

Post Thu Mar 29, 2007 8:05 am

i didnt add any hardpoints to the gas miner but it is still working fine as it should

Post Thu Mar 29, 2007 12:55 pm

Of course Swat, but it depends what you've done with it doesn't it? Technically it should have four exhaust ports and four intake ports, not to mention the myriad of extra running lights, docking points and so on seeing as the standard loadout which is this, is missing loads of them,

[Loadout
nickname = gas_miner_old_co_01
equip = infinite_power
equip = ge_s_scanner_02
equip = SlowMediumGreen, HpRunningLight18
equip = SlowMediumGreen, HpRunningLight17
equip = SlowMediumGreen, HpRunningLight19
equip = SlowMediumGreen, HpRunningLight20
equip = SlowSmallWhite, HpRunningLight02
equip = SlowSmallWhite, HpRunningLight01
equip = LargeWhite, HpRunningLight05
equip = LargeWhite, HpRunningLight06
equip = sfx_rumble_gas_miner
equip = co_Small_station_turret01_mark03, HpTurret_S1_01
equip = co_Small_station_turret01_mark03, HpTurret_S1_02
equip = co_Small_station_turret01_mark03, HpTurret_S1_03
equip = co_Small_station_turret01_mark03, HpTurret_S1_04
equip = co_Small_station_turret01_mark03, HpTurret_S1_05
equip = co_Small_station_turret01_mark03, HpTurret_S1_06
equip = co_Small_station_turret01_mark03, HpTurret_S1_07
equip = co_Small_station_turret01_mark03, HpTurret_S1_08
equip = co_Small_station_turret01_mark03, HpTurret_S1_09

Not to mention i've made mine dockable using the berths which is why i've added extra hardpoints, thereby demonstrating that my version would be of no use to anybody unless they had my modified gas miner and loadout. While i'm sure yours works fine, to get it working properly you will need to add some hardpoints, specially for the docking berths.

its a miner... no real station so why should i want it to be dockable? ^^

Post Fri Mar 30, 2007 6:12 am

Because it has two docking berths

Post Sat Mar 31, 2007 12:43 am

and many other models have much other useless stuff
