I am not the most experienced person so don't laugh <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> How do you edit files like ships, character and weapon files? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mellow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":|" border="0" alt="mellow.gif" />
 
We wouldn't laugh, Captain Cannon! We're happy to help if we can... The things you've asked about are not easily explained, however. Exactly what is it you wish to do? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />
 
Is possible, but you have to start a new game. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

Edit PROGRAM\Characters\characters_init.c to edit your character's profile.
Edit PROGRAM\Ships\ships_init.c to change ships around.
Edit PROGRAM\ITEMS\initItems.c to change around items.

Look for the tutorial "Making new items" at <a href="http://robotsdontbleed.com/tutorials/" target="_blank">Robots Dont Bleed</a>.
 
I've tried it and i've made an new sword, and set it so I can buy it at the stores at level 1, but i can't get it!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> I've tried starting a new game but that still won't work.
If you don't know why this is could you tell me how to equip it as your starting weapon.
 
Ok, open up characters_init.c.
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->PROGRAM/Characters/characters_init.c<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
Scroll all the way down to the bottom, where it says stuff about the goods in your hull. It should look like this:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->// MainCharacter start parameters
    ch.Ship.HP = 300;
    ch.Ship.crew.quantity = 30;
    SetCharacterGoods(&Characters[0],GOOD_BALLS,300);
    SetCharacterGoods(&Characters[0],GOOD_GRAPES,100);
    SetCharacterGoods(&Characters[0],GOOD_KNIPPELS,100);
    SetCharacterGoods(&Characters[0],GOOD_BOMBS,300);
    SetCharacterGoods(&Characters[0],GOOD_CHOCOLATE,1500);
    SetCharacterGoods(&Characters[0],GOOD_LEATHER,300);<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
Add this under that:

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->GiveItem2Character(ch, "ITEM ID OF THE NEW SWORD YOU MADE");<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
C is case sensitive, so be sure you copied exactly what I wrote (with the Sword's Item ID filled in)

The item ID is this: (quoted from the Windmill Slayer)
<!--QuoteBegin-PROGRAM/ITEMS/initItems.c+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(PROGRAM/ITEMS/initItems.c)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->//windmill slayer
makeref(itm,Items[n]);
itm.id = "blade23"; <span style='color:red'><b><<<<This thing right here!!</span></b>
itm.groupID = BLADE_ITEM_TYPE;
itm.name = "itmname_blade23";
itm.describe = "itmdescr_blade23";
itm.folder = "items";
itm.model = "blade23";
itm.picIndex = 16;
itm.picTexture = "ITEMS_3";
itm.price = 10000;
itm.dmg_min = 30.0;
itm.dmg_max = 50.0;
itm.piercing = 0;
itm.minlevel = 10;
itm.rare = 0.1;
itm.block = 20;
itm.param.time = 0.1;
itm.param.colorstart = argb(64, 64, 64, 64);
itm.param.colorend = argb(0, 32, 32, 32);
n++;<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Hope it helps.

Do you have to add the line "giveitem2character" 'cause I haven't got it in the character_init.c file. When you change the stats for ships or items do you have to press the "I" key or something in the game to change them to what you set?
 
I think you need to buy them again, because the stats are saved for every ship you own. I'm not 100% sure about that though. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
I don't know... there seemed to be too many risks involved with that mod. I just make a new game.

Yeah, just add it onto the end.
