RE: predetermined items in inventory of planets

[blargue]

So I'm trying to find a way to place multiple copies of identical items at Hope - the identical items are just replicas of the same items with file names #1, 2, 3 etc. I only seem to be able to place eight items at once, otherwise Hope is generated with no items whatsoever. I've checked the file names, the game.ini, and the quest file for Haven many a time and no problems there. Is there a hardcap on the number of predetermined idems at a given planet (other than the usual 20 for any inventory)?

So it's eight or nothing?
I haven't run into that problem, but I tried very half-assedly to randomize an item at hope and realized it was going to take more time to sort out so I postponed it. When I get done with the new main quest I'm working on, I'll try to see what I can figure out.

Oops, maybe I should clarify that a bit. I can only place a max of eight items. Just not more. Eight items doesn't quite fill up two lines worth of items.

Blargue: Is it still giving you trouble?

I recently figured out many of my issues (mostly UVAR-related) had to do with putting multiples of a command in a STAR entry. If you do so, it seems to only do the last one on the list. That may be what you're experiencing. If so, try putting each item in a separate STAR block. You can only have STARs 0-3 in a single quest, so you may need to go to multiple "always" quests to make it work.

Phlagm: Getting random items on glory can be done by adding something like this to the end of the haven quest:

"CONDITION 0
TYPE homeworld
STR0 terran
END CONDITION

PAGE 0
REQ0 0
ACTN endquest
ITMS 1 tech
END PAGE"

I know this is old news now, with the thread being dormant for months, but since I'd recently done some pondering along these lines for my own mods, I thought I might as well post it. Better late than never, right?
