NodeName is the name displayed in the external cargo dropdown list of the mission editor.

LinkName is the object in the libraries that is displayed in the game (in the Kxx nodes). In this example, father_AMER is in the cargos.dat library (the original one for SH4).

Adding this to bump the thread, as I'm still not sure about the question I did in the opening post, in case somebody knows the answer.

Also handy to test the file attachment, which I had never used before

.

Alex.B SH3 Liberty ship, with some nodes added to accept external cargo.

In the "digging" I've been doing around files, I've seen what you are referring to.

I'm not too sure, but I believe the original answer by Propbeanie may be correct since it would make sense from a "computer" standpoint where "0" means "nothing".

You may want to ask over at the "Wolves of the Kaiser" mod thread as he stated since "ihavebecomelife" has been doing some EXCELLENT work over there with regards to things like this.

Hope this helps!

PS/clarification: No estoy muy seguro, pero de una perspectiva de "computadoras/ordenadoras" me parece que "0" como "light" o "none" me parece creible.

Chequea en el foro de WotK con "ihavebecomelife" o mandale un mensaje a ver si puede hechar un poco de luz en esto.

Saludos!
