Thats the sort of stuff I was thinking of. A general expansion as we see fit :) But I'd be honored to use some of your ship models in my next mod.

[Inoculator9]

Two points:

1) Is there any chance you could tell me what the appropriate camera entries for cruisers and battleships are?

2) Is there any chance you could post some pics of the models you've made?

[Caid Ivik]

1) Depends on a ship, Rheinland Battleship I give camera offset (shiparch.ini) 200, 810 and turret tether (cockpit entry) 50, 900, for Dreadnought is this offset good, but tether is 50, 600 enough. For cruisers is fitting offset 60, 250, tether 25, 220.

2) Uncompleted models of Century Series fighters

also you can find some of my Freespace model conversions on Reactor

[Inoculator9]

What are your conversions called?

[Caid Ivik]

How should they be? Those are normal Freespace ships, models ripped from original and modified to fit the game. I've planned a mod with them and own bases with visage of FS destroyers and new factions, but I have no time for it.

"How should they be?"

What do you mean?

And I like the way the second mod on that list sounds. Any chance you could post a zip file with it's contents?

[Inoculator9]

Also, is there any chance you could point me in the direction of a good tutorial for adding totally new weapons to the game?

Note: I'm making a second post, because some reason, I can't modify my last one with this message :P

[Caid Ivik]

Well, as a base I wanted to use the mod I have on my site.

http://imperium.nazory.cz/if/THE%20MOD.exe

I wanted to add there five stations with visage of Orion and one Lucifer destroyer, maybe also one Typhon with Vasudan ships. On them I planned to have available the FS ships, whose I was sending.

About weapons...

adding weapon hardpoints to ships

creating a weapon with beam effect

[Inoculator9]

Great, I've released my mod with a larger amount of changes, and I'm going to look into your mod for maybe including it and making a joint sort of sequel. Thanks Caid! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help!

And is Lancers Reactor not up right now?

[Caid Ivik]

Well, we can merge them to one big mod. This one includes nearly all capital ships available at major shipyards, plus few new ships and star systems. With added Freespace ships it would be a really big one.

[Inoculator9]

Sounds fantastic! So that mod on your site you just posted, adds a bunch of new ships and unlocks the other ones? If that is accurate, I'll get to work and start expanding on it.

I'd love to do as you suggest :)

[Cyborg]

Is it possible to create player controllable battle ships?

[Caid Ivik]

Of course, you can see few of them in that my mod I've posted.

[Inoculator9]

Mine too :) Should be up at www.lancersreactor.com soon.

[Inoculator9]

Good news Caid! I got the Hercules fighter working perfectly :)

[Caid Ivik]

Only Hercules?  ???

[Timenn]

Inoc, I think I found the reason why you couldn't get Nomad Weapons at first:

Link to post

[Inoculator9]

Certainly seems possible... but if I remember right, I was a lv. 38 way before I did it. I could be wrong though :-

[Caid Ivik]

Here you have those unfinished models, I hope you have Milkshape 3D to read them...[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

[Inoculator9]

Looks great Caid. If you could just post them up once you've gotten them into FL file formats that would be fantastic, and just some basic shiparch entries.

I really appreciate your letting us use these for the Game Heaven Clan Mod Caid, and I want you to know that when it's released, you will be credited as a co-author :)

[Inoculator9]

Ok Caid, I've attached the list of new weapon's names and their nicknames in the weapon's files if you need them. Ignore the little descriptions, they are just personal references.

And you should know that you should add the new ids in your old dll file, so that we don't lose the ship names and all that.[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

[Caid Ivik]

shit, this was a syziphic work  ;D[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

[Inoculator9]

I don't know what the trouble is, but when I download the file, it becomes an htm file :P

And... syziphic?

[Nyarlathotep]

I don't know what the trouble is, but when I download the file, it becomes an htm file :P

Same here...

[Caid Ivik]

Who is mod here? It should be already repaired.
