Problem Change crew names in XR2

[Bodrius]

Hello...

I wanted to change the names of my crew in the XR2, so I changed the names in the XR2RavenstarPrefs.cfg file, but nothing happens, the same default names appear. I changed the rank and that works fine, but the names thing doesn't work.
Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

Post the config. file on here so I can take a look.

You are probably loading a scenario with the original names in it.
Try spawning the XR2 with the scenario editor.

Found a likely problem. It really doesn't matter if you edit it in the config. file. Delete this, XR2UMMU_CREW_DATA_VALID 1, in the scenario file and then edit the names. I think it should work.

The behavior you are seeing is by design. From the comment header in XR2RavenstarPrefs.cfg:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Define the default name, age, pulse, mass, rank, and mesh of all crew members.
# If a scenario does not contain UMmu data for passengers, the values below are used.

In other words, the values in the config file are default values that are used only when no UMMU scenario data is present; e.g., when the ship is spawned via the scenario editor as TS said. If you are loading a scenario and there is valid UMMU data in the scenario, the UMMU data in the scenario is used; otherwise, any crew member changes you made via ingress or egress would be lost when you saved and reloaded the scenario (this behavior is the same as any other UMMU-enabled vessel). If you want to change the UMMU names in a given scenario, edit the UMMU data in the scenario file:

  UMMUCREW XI0-Lee_Nash-39-65-78
  UMMUCREW XI1-Kara_Miller-32-65-58
  UMMUCREW XI2-Sharon_Valerii-26-67-54
  UMMUCREW XI3-Cameron_Mitchell-36-65-77
  UMMUCREW XI4-Samantha_Carter-33-66-53
  UMMUCREW XI5-Daniel_Jackson-35-68-75
  UMMUCREW XI6-Teal_c-31-64-104
  UMMUCREW XI7-Vala_Mal_Doran-30-67-53
  UMMUCREW XI8-Elizabeth_Weir-36-68-56
  UMMUCREW XI9-John_Sheppard-34-64-77
  UMMUCREW XI10-Rodney_McKay-35-72-90
  UMMUCREW XI11-Teyla_Emmagan-27-68-57
  UMMUCREW XI12-Ronon_Dex-32-63-97
  UMMUCREW XI13-Carson_Beckett-38-74-95

The order is tag-name-age-pulse rate-mass (do not change the tag values). If you set 'XRUMMU_CREW_DATA_VALID 0' or delete that line the default UMMU data defined in the config file is used (since no UMMU data is available in the scenario in that case). However, UMMU data is always saved with the scenario, so the correct thing to do is edit the UMMU data in the scenario.

Thanks for elaborating on what I was trying to say.

 

[Bodrius]

Problem solved. Thank you very much to everybody.

I can't seem to remove crew from cabin as hard as i try to do it. I tried all of the above suggestions, and the best results i have is that some of the crew titles changes to civilian, but quantity remains the same. I want to leave only commander and pilot, so there is no need for more lox. Its so frustrating :facepalm:

This is because UMMU support was disabled in the XR series due to UMMU not working in Orbiter 2016 (it causes CTDs if you try to EVA while landed, for example). However, EVA and crew support will be re-enabled in the XR series once oMMU, a UMMU replacement, ships.

Hello! So it possible to change XR2 crew numbers in 2016 version?
editing XR2RavenstarPrefs not gives a result, only names is changing, but no numbers. I try to make 7 instead 14!
Please give me advise.

 

[dbeachy1]

@JohnSpeed, no you cannot change XR crew members in 2016 until UMMu support is available for Orbiter 2016.

Oh.. I've got it. Thank you very much for the answer!
