Knock yourself out! [:)]

I'll be publishing the MOD later on today (EET time), with three sorties included.

Only one more playtesting thing on my todo list before publishing the first version of the TC. The test happens tomorrow, if all goes well the FSO site opens public in monday.

Oh. I didn't want to post this message after all.

please send it to dev/null.

<t> Oh. Found a thing in that supports the absolute efficiency idea. A good counterweight, so to speak.<br/>
<br/>
It applies, for example, in cases like the galaxy.def. You cannot create a clean galaxy map of your own to an external mod. After several trials I came to a following conclusion: if ...

<t> Yes. I agree with your words completely. I considered to give the main FSO conversion file away labeled as fso.dat with a readme file included in the installation package. This readme file would contain the "installing instructions" that state that to "install" the mod one needs to rename the ...

<r> Excellent. It seems I'm being just plain paranoid me again. This means I'll be stuffing my FSO stuff into the retail shatter.dat, remove from it what I don't need and share the resulting shatter.dat on my website (non-profit, credits to whom they belong) as the FSO MOD.<br/>
<br/>
I hope this ...

<t> This has troubled me also.<br/>
<br/>
I believe the graphic and sound material included in retail shatter.dat is property of the enterprise and therefore protected by the copyright law. The easiest way would be, indeed, to include/replace all custom stuff into the existing shatter.dat, build a ...

<r> Hello!<br/>
<br/>
A couple of years back I commenced a project of creating a Freespace total conversion MOD for the Starshatter. The project is now nearing it's completion and has grown from the original concept into something much more than just a MOD. There has been a void for a space ...

Ahh found out that I need the Gathering Storm allright, and the 5.01 is an update to that. Roger.

The serial number contained within my original Starshatter purchase doesn't seem to work with the TGS. Do I need to purchase the TGS somehow, or is there a some other way to install TGS for the original Starshatter owners?

A noobish question, I know. Just want to be sure. [:)]

How about hiding weapons from the tech room? I tried to include the Secret: True in them and it didn't work. With ships it works fine. I guess this is not yet supported.

It'd be nice to write descriptions to the tech room templates. Also, it would equally be nice if one could block templates from being visible in the tech room. [&:]

How to block designs from being visible in the tac reference room?

How to use the larger missile payloads?

I would love to have a list of the most important 4.5.0 functions modding-wise. [&o]

<t> How to alter ship design radius? I'm pretty sure it causes my blob ammo to hit an invisible wall before it impacts with the ship itself. <br/>
<br/>
For example, the ship's length is 630. However the game draws the design radius to 910. <br/>
<br/>
I'd like to see my primaries hitting the ...

<t> Are there known issues with multiple playerships changing location in the same quantum leap? We've experienced odd behaviour (one ship not detecting the other, whereas the other ship sees the first one) after such leaps.<br/>
<br/>

Ship 'Training 1' quantum to ...

..has been solved by Melkor. Thank you! [&o]

<t> Allright, I got past the mod_info.def problem.<br/>
<br/>
The next problem is that when I launch the full game (omitting -filesys), it finds the mod, enables it allright, finds the missions in the mod.. but when I try to load the mission, for some reason, it does not locate the ships. Game ...

Thanks in advance, Damo. [:)]

The most critical thing about my .dat yearning is the fact that I can't do modded multiplayer without a working release; therefore I'd really like to know how this procedure is completed - no matter how annoying it might be. [:)]
