Help me...

I'm currently trying to put ships into FO. But I can't get them working. Odf is not the prob. Can someone post what I need? Spr files, cfg files, so on. Just give me some help. Plus I can't figure out this Tooltip maker!

For a fully functional ship you need:

1. up to 6 odf files for the ship itself
2. entries in the Dynamic_Localized_Strings.h for the tooltips
3. a FO compatible sod model
4. textures for the model
5. the wireframe
6. the button
7. entries in the gui_global.spr for wireframe and button
8. entries in all_cap_veteran.odf and in the fitting all_veteran*.odf
9. entries in tech1.tt and freetech.tt
10. an image for the admirals log
11. and an entry in a shipyard of your choice

I think that was it.

Though, feel free to ignore these ones if it is a Warp-In.

well it was meant originally for stock... is there an spr file I can put up to fix this?

The Miranda Class should come with a modified sprite file that should allow most stock SOD's to work.

Thanks Guys, do any of you know how to edit hps? Because I got this Excelsior I'm planing on putting in. First, the Hardpoints are basically not so well placed. And second, I need more anyway... I tried the HP editor but everytime I try modding them it either crashes or shoots an HP way off the model. Can you please help me? I got the zip here with images of original and prefered hp locations. I apologize if I ask to much...

I have a HP editor, (simply called 'CV') but it doesn't work on a good number of ships.

Stupid program screwed up...like it usually does. I have an SOD editor that cannot handle SOD's...

I don't like leaving empty handed, so I edited the lighting on the textures. At least my attempt got some result....

hmm... Did you try the 24-bit stuff? I included them in case the program can't handle the 32-bit. I'll look into these light maps, but I'm mostly concerned on new hardpoints. No offense...

It's the SOD it doesn't do, not the textures.

Ohh... maybe you can find another? Maybe that one provided through Assimsoft. I heard that one works...

posted on July 28th, 2009, 2:47 pm

The only one that worked for me is the one I currently use. The others usually crash.

Can anyone else edit hp's? Any help is highly appreciated. I really want this ship to work but I need better hp's.

well the only advise I can offer you is to pray that some angel fairy drops you a copy of the unlocked sod importer for ms3d with a free copy of ms3d....assimsoft just crashes on me as well and I have 2 dif versions of it....
