Question for Devs about goods...

[whisper979]

First off, thanks for Pioneer. It is looking really, really good. I apreciate the hard work and time that you all put into this. I have a silly question. Let's pretend that I built a spaceship simulator for kids, and that this spaceship simulator just happens to run Pioneer, and let's say I wanted to change the illegal goods from things like "narcotics" and "slaves" to things like "ferrets" and "bacon". How hard would that be? Obviously the icon is simple enough to change but how could I change the rest? Is something like that even possible? I looked through the LUA scripts but I didn't see anything there I could change. Is this impossible? Thank you!

You need to change the file "pioneerdatalangEnglish.txt", just search for the word you want to change and edit away. HOWEVER, there's two parts for narcotics for example the entry looks like this:NARCOTICS Narcotics So to make it read Ferrets change it like this:NARCOTICS Ferrets But make sure you leave the capitalised part unchanged because that's the string we lookup in the code to do the multilingual string replacements  I don't know if this can be done as a mod or if you'll have to modify the original data but just ask and we'll help you out. Andy

Actually, for those who might wish to tone down Pioneer's more adult aspects, this could be a good idea. A mod that could turn the standard game into a "junior edition" for younger spacefarers.

Oh man! Thanks so much Fluffy!

No problem, just let us know if there's anything else

illegal goods ... like "ferrets" and "bacon".I used to think you were a good father, but you're obviously some kind of monster

Agree, everyone should be entitled to bacon. :nyam:

Haha! I also added lemon cookies. Only a real degenerate eats lemon cookies.
