[SHIPS] My Ships

MJALowe · Post by **MJALowe** » Fri, 16. Nov 07, 05:51

if you open up the .cat file with the modmannager there will be some lines that are like "dds\md_lod0_main2_g.dds" (the name changes....there are several for each ship, some are shared)...the _d is the main texture, the _s is the specular map, the _local is the bump mapping and the _g is the "glow map" anything that is supposed to glow will be in there....if the whole ship is glowing there is something up with the alpha channel of that file....remove the file and there will me no glow....and also no deck lights or engine lights

the files that are like "dds\md_lod0_decal1.dds" are the decals...that would be the ships name on its hull and other things like that

just remove the file from the cat and it should work....not entirely sure of the problem without a pic though....seeing as how they all seem to work fine here and i specifically went through and fixed those problems...unless you somehow got an old version of a texture

try downloading from the first page of this thread and see if those work...you might have to make sure there is a turrets entry for the turrets to work...but if the download from this thread works then the .xsp you got has some old info

I downloaded the ships from the first page, and it works. I probably was using an old version of them.

The only problem is that the turrets don't fire, but it's easy to fix.

Thank you very much, and congratulations for your very beautiful ships.

I downloaded the leviathan no problems and all the turrets work, but the forward mounted guns wont fire, not the front turret but the main forward guns

i am really new to this whole scripting and modding thing so some help would be appreciated

ps. the leviathan is totally awsome, even with the problem. you did a really good job

MJALowe · Post by **MJALowe** » Fri, 7. Dec 07, 04:43

dont know why but forward firing guns on ship classes that don't normally have them is wierd....try targeting something and facing it almost exactly...thats what i had to do to test (tested with a space station)

MJALowe · Post by **MJALowe** » Thu, 3. Jan 08, 06:44

well, i've finally added more ships...pics on first page

here are the names:

GREAT work, MJALowe!

A question: in the new mod are included the old ships with texture corrections (i.e. the Patton and Patton2)?

MJALowe · Post by **MJALowe** » Fri, 4. Jan 08, 05:12

just the texture corrections...and there aren't any changes from the ones posted on my link....it is different from those posted on the blackpanther group page though....

I just recently downloaded all of you ships and really enjoy them but one. No matter what I do the Goliath loads and your sitting upside down in the cockpit. I am not a programmer but when I look at it in Cycrows ship Manager everything looks OK. Any Ideas what could be wrong?? from all the posts no one else has mentioned this problem so it must be only me. I am currently running it with XFP mode and some of you other ships which loaded fine.

MJALowe · Post by **MJALowe** » Sun, 20. Jan 08, 22:27

ya, the goliath is one of the older ships....to fix it you will need to edit the scene file and change the orientation of the cammera_dummy_1a (i hope i named it that in the old ones)

the old ones are only still available as a reference...as are the "really" old ones (packed in the .7z file)

i do hope you took some time to balance the ship...as most if not all the older ship are insanely powerful and could be considered a cheat

and just so you know....there is a cockpit window (graphics) on both the top and bottom of the ship

dont know if anyone had this problem,
In USSPatton, USSPatton2 and UssHannibal i have an issue where only the main, cockpit gun fires the gun, the rest can move but they cant shoot, any way to sort it?

MJALowe · Post by **MJALowe** » Sat, 9. Feb 08, 02:47

read all of the main OP *grin* they aren't firing cause they don't have a valid entry in the components.txt

Hey I just started playing X3 again and I was wondering if it would be posible to get the dreadnaught with 2 extra external ports for M2 class ships without getting in the way of the 4 M7 ports?

Is this for X3TC??? or X reunion, Because it doesn't say that i could find and most of the things on this site are X reunion so, just asking, i have X3TC.

Thanks,

Where do I get the Plugin Creator. I've been wanting to make my own ship for quite some time now. If I could get that I would be ELATED!!!

I'll check one thing first.

***Edit*** I just found the site but the links don't work on either Chrome or Opera (Web Browser). Can someeone please help me. Cycro himself if he see's this. ***Edit***
