When using bump maps, do you just use a greyscale image, or do you need a different format?

Sorry Skywalker, I didn't get it. Can you try this address instead?

I can lend a hand now that I have some free time...

Did you give the ships repair teams? For example, repair_teams: 4 gives you 4 teams (strangely enough), and repair_auto will make the ship self-repair.

hey!! its the USS France!!

there ya go diablo!!!

Can't be...there's not enough armor on the aft quarter to protect it during "rapid retreats" (i.e. running away and asking Anglo-Saxons for help)

<t> I was having similar problems with landing approaches and I found that if you set the approach start point outside the ship's radius it seemed to solve the problem. You can find the ship radius in the error log where it reports which ships have been loaded. E.g. if the station has a radius of ...

uh oh...trouble brewing...

<t> Heh, thanks guys! Really, I don't think any game that was 100% realistic would be any fun. I mean, who wants to sit around for a few hours while you're waiting for your fighter to be repaired and rearmed, or wait in line at the Head? I've tried to balance "reality" (considering all this stuff is ...

<r> Matti, regarding your observations:<br/>
<br/>
First off, the mod is actually meant to be played in Realistic mode. I only messed with Arcade mode very early on, and it didn't work well. Secondly, the size and speed issues are related. The stock ships are roughly 4 times their "real life" size ...

<r> Bit of an update:<br/>
<br/>
Added Victory SD, Strike Cruiser, MC-90 Mon Cal, Corellian Corvette, and Bulk Freighter. Also cleaned up some graphical things. The links are in my sig, one for the compressed (dat) version, and one for the open version. (I was a little hesitant to release the open ...

Here's a very simple sample mod. It has all the basics, including the mod_info.def. I think Mehrunes originally posted it, so thank him!

in my sig...

there's a new version coming out soon, too...

<t> I think I saw something about this in another thread, but I couldn't find it. The problem is that when I get an enemy carrier's health down far enough to make it quantum out of the region, the game freezes. I don't know when this started happening, but I did a clean install with the 4.03 patch ...

I feel so much better now that I know his true feelings on this...

Turgot, you may have to restart the game after enabling the mod. I didn't include any missions, but the ships definitely work on my end.

<r> I don't really do anything special to make the dat's. I just set it up like this: I make a folder on my desktop and put a copy of my MODS folder into it. Then, I put the modfile.exe in the same folder. Next I make a batch file with one command, "modfile.exe <I><s>[i]</s><e>[/i]</e></I>modname<I ...

<t> Is it possible to have ship damage carry over from one mission to the next outside a dynamic campaign? If so, how? I think it would be cool to be able to make multi-stage strikes against an enemy force, a la Freespace 2 when you disable beam turrets on the Sathanas before it fights the Colossus ...

<t> Right now I'm in the process of def'ing the capships now that I've worked out a basic balance system. I'm going to wait to post anything until I have enough ships done to make some enjoyable gameplay. I don't imagine battles with just ISD's would remain fun for very long... In the mean time, I ...

You can do whichever you want, but you don't have the option of controlling larger ships until you've been promoted.
