Hi I host a server and was wondering if someone could tell me what i would need to do to change what character is brought from a purchase terminal. I.e. they might select havoc but actually a mutant is brought etc.
I have the ren mod tools etc. Can anyone help?
thanks buffymaniack

When you install SSAOW on your server it should add a file named objects.aow somewhere. This file is the same as objects.ddb.
Take that file and rename it to objects.ddb and replace the one already in the directory for your mod project in level edit. On the side there will be a list of folder with thing you can edit. You'll need to find the settings that relate to the purchase terminals, and change things accordingly.
Then you save, go get the objects.ddb and rename it to objects.aow, and put it back on your server.
I've never done this before, so there could be an easier or different way of doing it. Someone else might be able to provide a more detailed explanation too.
Some things can't be changed for the client. For example you can't change the PT icon but you can change the character the icon gives you. I don't really have a list of things that can or cannot successfully be changed. If you do change something that doesn't work on the client's end, it won't mess anything up though. The clients just won't see the change.

All the checking for the PT happens client side (including costs). Then a purchase network event is sent over the network which causes the actual purchase to take place (including deducting the cost)

You can change the objects and the cost serverside, what you cant change are the images and removing existing objects
When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"
