WEAPON

missile: {
name: "Krygen Torpedo",
group: "Torpedo",
target_type: 0x0000fff00,
value: 5,

OK, step one, don't change the "type" in the ship def. That just tells the computer what subcomponents to show in the engineering screen. Instead go to the Weapon def and change your first line to "drone: {"
That will then put the little blue diamond around every one you fire (but it also means they can be killed as well.)

guided: 1,
lethal_radius: 500,
syncro: false,
self_aiming: false,
aim_az_max: 0.175,
aim_az_min: -0.175,
aim_el_max: 0.175,
aim_el_min: -0.175,

this should also help...set self-aiming to true.

Hopefully that will help.

BTW,

How did you get your missiles to fire straight up like that?

thank u dragonlead and wdboyd. i got the missiles to fire like that by setting the azimuth to -1.571 and elevation to 0.611 for port and 1.571-0.611 for stbd. with a little tinkering i got them to work now...only problem now is when launched the missiles are facing the target instead of launching out the turning also when launching with no target the missiles fire downward on the z axis....no biggy really. here is a pic of missiles going towards a target



the azimuth and elevation posted were in the ship def and not weapon def...the weapon def azi and ele were hard to tinker with to target and fire correctly but now got it down

my first attempt for a bridge....still a WIP

now a slightly side view....i plan to add more panels, flight controls in front, and chairs with a the view from a captains chair with panels...is it possible to put active data in a model such as power display, speed, hull status and etc??

Looks pretty sharp [:)] Functioning panels isn't in 4.5, perhaps gathering storm will include them.

well that would be nice if GS is capable of that....on another note made the Arbiter DN. its exactly the same as the Bevak except its a DN missile ship. the missile the bevak has is the Krygen Torpedo (30k damage) and a small limited supply of Vykral Nukes (80k). if possible the nukes can barely do any damage if shields are on full. the Arbiter however has only Vykral and quite a bit. here is a pic. she is really only for a story line for who ever feels the need for a large ship with limited defenses against another CA, BB, or DN but is a mjor threat against planetary installions (which as far as i know cant be done targetting wise but good for story)

[CnnfdrTerris]

as stated took a break from one group as they still need bridge and military freighter for them. went back to another group and worked on a DN. unfortunatley this group needs a carrier and newer fighter models like the aardvark variants. anyway here are the pics of the new DN. still working on the textures.

built a new comp and ported all my starshatter mods over fine.....the only problem i have now is that i cant remember how to get it to work. i think it has something to do with the command line but not sure but any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

Can you be a bit more specific.?

Mod .dat files are to be placed in your games Mod folder.

Enable the mods from within Starshatters Option page. Exit the game entirely.

Re-enter the game. The enabled mod should show up. [:'(]

[CnnfdrTerris]

thnx now i got the dats running. now i have to figure out how to get the rest of the stuff to work since most of my stuff are not dat format yet and probably wont be so they can be openly modded.

[wdboyd]

I have info on creating your own .dat files.

I can put it together and email it to you.

Just email me so I can get your address.[:)]
