Lo Guys, Right ive been playing round witht he whole mod sdk kit and made a little model i wanted to put into game ive made the various def files and have gotten it to the point where i go into options and activate the mod the mod now activates without errors in the log file but i still dont see the ship in the class that it should be in any ideas?
only thing that i can realy thing may be wrong is the file size 250kb i would expect it to be bigger than this.

RE: Moding Problems
can you post the ship's def for us? that might help a bit.. maybe the errlog too? I've had this problem before but I dont remember exactly what it was that did it..maybe seeing those two files will jog my memory.

RE: Moding Problems
Sure think the ship is a Mod of the sample file ive tryed the Sw Demo Mod as well this has the same thing say its active but no ships 99% of the data in the Def file for the setting are false as i havnt done these yet, just wanted to see the model in game first.

RE: Moding Problems
honestly, i think it has to do with your dat file, stick -filesys behind the executable shortcut in windows and try running ss without the dat file using the mods>ships directory structure... I think that's how I fixed mine... Dat'ing stuff is really funky ...
RE: Moding Problems
havnt had any joy with this method yet oh well ill give it another shot [:)] another wonderful Quirk of Ss oh well its all part of the fun
- on another note ss still thinks theres a Dat file in the mod/ships dir even tho ive removed everything in there
Ok i got rid of the mod listing problem by taking the entry out of mod.cfg and now the ship workin ingame with the shortcut extension

RE: Moding Problems
Yes making .dat files seems to be very tricky.
The few I have tried to make didn't wotk, even though mod.exe built them.
The problem was that when I eneabled them they never worked.
Any ideas of how to compress to .dat and get it done properly at every shot?

RE: Moding Problems
If you find the solution, please post here! There must be an "Universal Way" of making .DAT files that work and have no bugs.
In fact, Milo could post some words to help us out with this, like a detailed procedure list on how to .dat - and we'll leave you alone![:D]
