Trouble with Outf(or Mission Computer):(

TheLoser

I am trying to create a plug in making it so there is a cargo addition that you get in the Sigma missions. I was trying to make it appear when everything else did but it didn't work, it's not appearing at all. This is my first real attempt at a plug. The way I did it was copy everything from Mass Addition except for the adding mass part and I made it add 5 tons of cargo (obviously). I tried making another pilot and completing the first mission but the outfit never appeared, and I had it set to 100% chance in any outfitters, and if it matters here are the bits that need to be set b33 & !b424.

I believe there is already one in the Default EVN Scenario like that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Uhhh...
I'm pretty sure you're wrong.
There is no (or I haven't seen it, and I always do Sigma first and then the other 7 storylines (yes, the Fed Forced as well)) "Add Cargo for Nothing" outf, although there is a Sigma "Add Mass for Nothing."

Whips out the good ole EVONE
Just checked, there are only two outfs in the base scenario that increase your cargo holds, and both require mass.

Cargo Retool (10 Cargo for 12 Mass)
Cargo Addition (10 Cargo for 15 Mass)

To the topic:
The bits appear to be correct.
Make sure you have done the following (the first is obvious, but...):

Do all three Sigma missions (for good measure, though the first should be the only required one)
Make sure the Tech Level for your Sigma Cargo Addition (whatever, 5 Cargo for 0 Mass) is at 20 (the same as the Mass Addition)
If all else fails, use the duplicate feature on the Sigma Mass Additionand just change the Mass field to 0 and the Mod Type to 2 and the Mod Value to 5

Best of luck

Just to confirm, kauthor is definitely wrong. Sigma Mass Addition is the only something-for-nothing outfit, there is no cargo version.

Krypt-tokh6's suggestions should definitely work. If they don't, face the fact that your computer is possessed.

Or you have another plugin that uses the same outf id and is conflicting with the one you are trying to make.

EV/O/N can be so damn finicky sometimes. I've done exact duplicates of resources (I've had the most trouble with beam weapons, for whatever reason) and have one work fine and the other not at all. Try copying all the relevant data from EVN to a seperate little plug-in, give them new resource IDs (so you know you're not going to have an overlap problem) and problem shoot from there.

I finaly got it to work!! :)I changed my resource number, because I thought that it migh be to high(650) so I changed it to 467. Now everything works except for the pic in the outfitters, but I'm working on that.
