Mismatch

Psychonaut

Whenever I input the number 135 as the ship type in my system, instead of their being lightnings, like nova data files 1 says there will be, I get Cambrians and Sprites. And when I input 172, instead of Rage gunboats, I get Pirate Manticores, Valkyries, and Argosies. Does anybody know why?

Thanks

It's calling on the dude resource, not the ship. If you want Lightnings in your system you may want to search through the dudes for one that has 'em, or create a new one.

------------------

Edit: From the EV Nova Bible:

The next fields tell Nova how many ships, and of what kind, to put in the
system:

DudeTypes (x8) Which type of dude to place (best not to set this to
an out-of-range value)
128 to 639 ID number of the dude type to place
-128 to -639 ID number of a fleet type to place
-1 unused

% Prob (x8) Probability that a given ship/fleet placed is of each of
the above types
1-99 This percent probability

AvgShips The average number of AI ships in the system
0 No ships, empty system
1 and up This number of ships, +/- 50%

Thanks.

Another question, I can't seem to find the file which tells what bits are being used, can someone help?

Bits as in mission bits? Try the Nova Bits Bible from the addons page under guides.
Bits as in resouce ids? Try my Nova Reference from the addons page.

If you just want to know if an ID or a bit is used or not, and don't care about what they're used for, you should have a look at my ResUsedList (see my sig).
I know, it still say that it's for Nova 1.0.6 only, but I don't think ATMOS is using any new IDs or bits in 1.0.7.
So, I think it's compatible with the latest version too.
