hey guys the trouble maker again 

quick question. i've been getting used to editing .odf files so i'm going ok but need help with klingon crossover.

what i want to do is have 2 ships, the b'rel and the vorcha buildable for the federation. i've made the brel buildable from antares yard and it works fine but when i try the build the vorcha from eraudi it says it needs    battle and kilingon research station. how do i change this???

Make an individual set of ODF files all saying:

#Include "vorcha.odf"
and so on...

The B'rel is buildable immediatly, but the Vor'cha class has requirements in the techtree. You'll need to do something about that.

you will have to rename the vorcha in order to do that correctly

like I said, the easy way to fix this is just add a 0 instead of whatever follows the ship in the tech1.tt

true but then you wouldnt have to do anything to build it as klingons. thats why i said to rename it.

I'll put a basic step-by-step up:

1. Copy kli_vorcha.
2. Rename it (for exapmle, fed_vorcha will work).
3. Add basename = "kli_vorcha" into the ship odf.
4. Add fed_vorcha to the Federation Yard or Starfleet Command.
5. Add fed_vorcha.odf 0 to tech1.tt (in the Techtree folder).

This should work fine.

thats the long way.  And it will ofcoruse work, but my way is easer if you don't really play as klingons any way.  It shouldn't make a big difference.

However the special weapons are a different matter.

I hope gerrysoul doesn't play as the Klingons. Zaxxon's advice will have screwed their Vor'cha Class.

I know.  He asked me earler, and I warned him, but I don't think he really plays much anything but feds.

btw, I think he did it your way, just with my help, kinda teaching him to mod/making him ships to play with and such.  

And any way, if he doesn't play the Klingon, it won't do a single thing.
