Mďsn question (plug makers please help)

Hi! I'm having a terrible time geting my Mďsn to work in my plugin!
I want to have a pack of angry pirates follow me around until I destroy another ship, everything is working well except the ships that come to attack me are the wrong kind, polaris instead of mean pirates. I use the same düde ID for the pirates that I do for the special ship, but the actual ones in the game seem to be different. Anyone know what's wrong?

Is it possible that you should have put an index number instead of a RID somewhere?

Thanks for moving,

OK, I'm sure I have the right numbers, they're the same thing, but the ships the player sees are now different.

Did you make custom dudes? You said you checked all the numbers, but sometimes you have to go down a few layers to find bugs like this.

Not that I know of, but I'll investigate this, there may be a new cause as I just upgraded to 1.0.6, but the problem existed since 1.0.0

Just make yourself a new dude, with all the pirate ships you want in it. It is the safest way to go - and verrrry easy to do.

Well I've tried making my own dűde, and that didn't work, I also tried using most of those dűdes, and they didn't work either. After I finish cleaning up my iTunes library, I'll keep experimenting, thanks for the advice.

I'd be happy to take a look at it for you and try to figure out what's going on. Feel free to send it to me if you want.
