trouble with slots

[Miyoshi]

Hello all!

I've been having some trouble modding the slots on ships in the game- specifically adding extra weapon slots.

I'm trying to add some weapon slots to a Xiati Carrier and I'm using the original hardpoints.

I have previously successfully tweaked the Xaiti Battleship, with an increased firing arc and extra tonnage and such without problem.

SJ's slotmodder program seems to be working well. when I save it, I find the new entry in the beginning of Main_ComponentConfigurationSlotsPlayer.txt and everything appears good, but when I try to buy the ship, the slots don't show up and the firing arc aren't shown in the ship dealer (but they are for all the other ships).

I've tried my "new" ship with the standard Xiati Carrier Layout, and it works with the increased firing arcs from the SpaceObjects_XFiles.txt.

Do the slots have to be in any order, weapons first, then shields, etc? Is there some little problem I just don't know about?

Thanks for any help you can give,

Miyoshi
