Question about a Custom Fighter's ship File...

[Blackw00lf]

hello,

I was wondering where in a custom fighter's ship file Do I find the part of the code that deals with Parade data.

I noticed that when I build the Custom fighter, they always go to the right of the mother ship and towards the Places where Carriers go, and are really spaced out (between Formations) i would like them to go to where the Fighters normally go.

Scripts/formations open file hgn_mothership_parade there you can add the fighters
paradeSlot("Hgn_Name",{
-1290, x
-400, y
1557, z
},{
0,
0,
1,
},{
-1,
0,
0,
},0)

the x,y and z is only for you to know which number is which coordinate

ok when i edit Scripts/formations/hgn_mothership_parade to add in the New fighter i have made the game crashes at Universe

here's my HW.Log

[Stargazer]

You have to close all braces that you open.
For example:

paradeSlot("Hgn_AssaultCorvette", 
{ -1239, -300, 716, , 
{ 0, 0, 1, , 
{ -1, 0, 0, },
0)

should be

paradeSlot("Hgn_AssaultCorvette", 
{ -1239, -300, 716,}, 
{ 0, 0, 1,},
{ -1, 0, 0,},
0)

If you haven't deleted all the braces by hand, then I suppose your lua decompilation failed. I recommend to use the files of the Homeworld 2 Clean Data Resource Project (http://www.moddb.com/games/homeworld...ed-data-folder)

that was what was decompiled
