Mods for 3.1.5/ warping in?

posted on April 4th, 2011, 11:45 am

Due to me being slightly stupid and to stop me asking repeatedly
Thought I'd ask all at once. Bare in mind I've just restatted armada 2 after many years and only Dow loaded
The fleet ops yesterday.

If I Download a ship for the game does it have to be one for 3.1.5 and nothing lower?

How do I do it so they can be built in a factory? Cause I'm not quite getting the warp in thing yet

I've managed to get a ship in game once but it was plain White?

Finally is FO set in stone with those races. ? As I love me some cardassians.

Apologies in advance for my cluelessness.

Just struggled all night to get a ship in game and was unsuccessful. And though it can't
be that tough! Lol

all at once doesnt really work a lot of the time, best to ask 1 question, and make it very specfic, there was a guy once who asked loads and loads of questions at once, he only got help out of sympathy.

you have to match versions most of the time, as stuff changes from patch to patch. odf commands changed recently, as resources were renamed. so install a 3.1.5 mod for 3.1.5.

fleetops (like stock i think) lets you add races, its complicated though, i dont understand it.

no need to apologise.

here is a link to the guide's modding pages:
Modding - The Hitchhiker's Guide to Fleet Operations

its a lot to read, but im sure there's stuff in there that could help. like:

Adding a unit

or

Adding a race

As far as the devs are concerned, the Cardassians are going to be relegated to an NPC race. There is a mod in the works to put them and 8472 back in.

Never mind, someone will eventually mod them back in. It just takes time, that's all. It's how we roll.
