1. Well there's no way to make the greens go anywhere but the middle.

2. Yeah, Prizefactor*# of players/1000=# of Greens, so 1000=1 green per player.

3. [Prizeweight] Increase/decrease numbers to change the odds.

4. Yeah, but 100 isn't a prize

.

5. [Ship] InitialBombs=

6. Like afterburners? Just set [Ship] AfterburnerEnergy=less than InitialRecharge

Pretty simple stuff, try using the descriptions in template.sss for what things do.

1.How to get the greens around the safe zoneS!

If you have one safe zone in the middle (or two small ones, even) just tweak prize:minimumvirtual= till the greens appear where you like (if you have safes out far from the middle your greens will end up rather spread out - which is not necessarily bad)

2.How to increase the amount of greens (prize factor i tink?)

ya, prize:prizefactor= (10,000 is the supposed max)

ShortyMatt wrote:

3.How to get more of 1 type of green (like thors, supers, etc.)

prizeweight:thor=
prizeweight:allweapons= (this is super)

fyi...
prizeweight:recharge= (full charge)
prizeweight:quickcharge= (recharge [like in %status])

you basically adjust the ratios - the higher the number compared to the other numbers, the more likely a green will be that (I think

)

4.How to prize as a mod (*prize 100 i tink)

ya, you can use *prize (insertanynumber) to prize large quantities to a player or you can give individual prizes using *prize # (eg "*prize #1)

5.How to get ships to spawn with bombs (certain lvls of bombs)

ship:initialbombs=

if, for instance, you set it to "1", depending on your ship:initialbounty settings you could end up with lvl 2 or 3 bombs

if, for instance, you want them to spawn with lvl 1 and have the option of getting lvl 2 or 3, you will have to mess around with your prizeweight / initialbounty settings till you get it to work just so (getting lvl 1 almost always on initial spawn)

if you just want the ship to have lvl 1 bombs, period, no other bombs, then just set ship:maxbombs= equal to the same level (eg - ship:initialbombs=1 / ship:maxbombs=1)

6.How to make ships able to use thrust wihout using energy...

just have ship:afterburnerenergy= set to 0 or something

shorty. go to your zone, press esc+c, that is the list of editable setting. under EACH setting, there is a description of what the setting does. now go there, read it all, and stop spamming

Before i asked for help i always tried to find on my own. If u would just read the faq at server help site and everything in the esc+c menu, u wouldn't need to create threads eevry day with 10 questions inside each.

And when i created this name i did not intend for people to think that i am cursing. Fudle Pucker means... fudle pucker, not what you thought. naughty naughty miney
