playerships.xml not sticking

[Bob7k]

I dont know if im just not editing the right file or something, but im having trouble boosting the cargo capacity of any of the starter ships. I believe my mods to the limit on devices worked, but not the cargo parts. Ive got other mods loaded and running fine, and im using the PlayerShip.xml.

Ok, all you have to do is change the cargoSpace value at the same xml where you changed the device slot value.

<!-- Player Ship: Sapphire-class Yacht -->

<ShipClass UNID="&scSapphirePlayer;"
manufacturer= "Zubrin Systems"
class= "Sapphire"
type= "yacht"
score= "95"

mass= "30"
reactorPower= "150"
fuelCapacity= "37500"
cargoSpace= "50"
thrust= "150"
rotationCount= "40"
maneuver= "2"
maxSpeed= "20"

maxArmor= "6000"
maxCargoSpace= "150"
maxDevices= "8"

leavesWreck= "30"

attributes= ""

I changed cargo space to 500, saved the file in /extensions/ and started the game. I opened the menu with S, but the cargo was 49, one ton for fuel, the cargo changes just wont take effect.

You have to start a new game for your changes to take effect.

[Bob7k]

Tried that, also deleted the save file, but the cargo mods wont take effect.

You're trying to alter the decompiled xml. The game never loads that stuff, it loads the tsb file it came from. You need to create a mod that overwrites the ship you want to alter.

I dont quite understand, how would I do that?

You have to make a new .xml that copies the playership and overrides it. There is a tutorial on how to override.
