I'm building a plugin, and ive ventured from the good, safe areas of syst's and spob's to actually create some weapons. (the big barrier was the thought of creating graphics) My first weapon/outfit has 3 problems:

One. I've created everything for my weap, a missile launcher with associated missiles, and it shows up and everything in the outfit shop (exeption: see problem #3). I can buy a launcher and missiles. But when i try and cycle through the secondary weapons out in space, it's not there. If i return to the planet, the shop still says i have 2 missiles and 1 launcher, etc. I can't locate the problem.

Two. Although the weaps show up in the outfit shop with descriptions, i can't get the name of my outfit under the thumbnail picture. i think it has something to do with STR's, but i don't know.

Three: The availabilty of the launcher varies. i.e. In some games I can buy my launcher, in others, "You cannot hold any of these items!" I have enough space in both cases.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Problem number 1, I believe, is a 'STR ' problem. I sugest using EVO Formula Calc to determine the correct numbers.

Number two, I think the outfit display gets the name from the "outf" resource, not the "STR ", so check that you have actually named the resource.

Three, I dunno, but you might look at the outf resource to be sure you haven't set the number of outfits you can have too low, also check the flags to see if maybe you have designated the launcher as a gun or turret and are prevented from buying one by the gun/turret limit.
