Hi there

i just have a question

I want to replace an original borg station with a better looking one (ONLY MY OPPINION!!!!)

I want the new station with the same stats like the original one.

Do i only have to rename the new TEXTURE files and/or the SOD and overwrite the old with them, or do i have to do more?

it is too small

and

no textures are shown - it looks white (or sth like this)


what can i do????

Textures are named the same as they always were, not renamed to the same as the FO ones or the game will look for textures that don't exist. Hardpoints and the stations size (ScaleSOD = X, 1 being default) needs to be edited to change where weapons come from and how big the station is.

Be careful, if it is an animated SOD then rescaling it can make it look a mess.

The odf has a line at the bottom that says "scalesod = 2.5", like that it is slightly larger than a Borg Starbase. Change that to about 3.5 - 4.0 and it would be about double the size.

It would also be better to have the sod and odf called the same thing and use the original textures, not renaming them to what the original sod used. SOD's are set to use certain textures by the name and won't adopt the ones used by another station unless the model includes them.

okay, now i use the new, but renamed sod (i have overwritten the original one).
i copied the textures into the directory.

now the station is ingame and has textures....

but as i want to use the original odf´s, i cant find any line called "scalesod", so the station is ingame very small....


edit/ in the odf directoy are lots of odf´s called bor_assi_matrix... with extensions like _D, _DDW, _YA etc .... which one is the original?


edit2/ i inserted the line scalesod into the file called bor_ass_matrixS so now it works fine and looks ok.

thanks tyler for your help!!!!!

The original doesn't have those extensions (bor_assi_matrixY & bor_assi_matrixZ), the others are the upgrades.

I usually add it into all extensions, just as a little insurance.
