Mod file structure?

[ANUBIS]

I'm way behind yall here...

running version 4.01 full retail

My folders are

Matrix Games\
Starshatter\
Mods\
Ships\
Weapons\
Missions\


Take the Ship "Cruiser" sample in the sample folder.

I copy all the files in that folder into my Matrix Games\Starshatter\Mods\Ships folder

In game I click options then mod config .. and nothing shows up.

I'm sure I'm missing a post with the whole explination somewhere, but I havn't found it.
The web site explination isn't entirely clear.

Can anyone "splain" to me what folders\path I need to put mods into, and how to get them to work?

I've been trying with the "sample" Cruiser files, looks like a full ship mod to me is it just that the "sample" suplied doesn't actually work? Or am I putting it into the wrong folder? Or am I missing a step somewhere?

Enable/disable mods is for .DAT files only. If you want to use mods via the directory structure, add "-Filesys" to the command line. I would place the Cruiser sample in its own folder (ie /ships/cruiser/).

Ok, I'm still lost...

Where do I add -filesys

I keep getting "windows cannot find c:\matrix games\starshatter\stars.exe-filesys

The only lines I have in shortcuts are "location" and "start in" .. both give me the same error if I try to add -Filesys to em.

[TheDeadlyShoe]

Add a space between stars.exe and -filesys

you want this in 'location' only- so start in should be c:\matrix games\starshatter\, and location should be c:\matrix games\starshatter\stars.exe -filesys

if that gives you problems, try putting "c:\matrix games\starshatter\", and "c:\matrix games\starshatter\stars.exe"-filesys, in start in and location respectively, and with the quotes.

Make sure -filesys is outside of the quotation marks, if there are any.

Got it to work, thx

... odd though, I'd swear I tried it exactly the same way about 10 times when it suddenly decided to work.

[Kuokkanen]

Do you need do everything hard way? I simply create .BAT file for that -filesys thing. Or run it in command mode.

[Derick]

Hello.
And how exactly you run that command mode. I'm currious about the .bat file creation too.
