Is there a half decent version of the premonition that will work with the current version of fleetops?

Thanks

There is not one modded for FO, but there is a very good model based off of the design available at filefront.  It would be very easy to use it and replace the current model already in FO (look at the map objects)

Armada 2 Files - Error!
Armada 2 Files - Error! (patch)

if the pages don't show up, keep refreshing.  they will come to eventually.

Major Payne also made an excellent model of the Premonition. I can send you the SOD file and textures if it would help

if i was to replace the old premotion sod and textures with the ones u could send would this update the Stock FO premonition.

If you replace the model it will use the new one, but the textures are linked to the model and only work if you have the correct model. You'll also need to edit the odf or the weapon hardpoints and ship scale will be off.

ok cool! well i did try and use your premonition Tyler, but the links for the textures didnt work! so when i tried it. it came out bigger than a outpost. no build button logo just a blank space. will your premontion work on the new fleet ops?

I don't know of any changes to the models, so ones that worked on past FO should work on the current one.

I don't seem to have it on my computer anymore, but I'm pretty sure I used the Premonition Modding Kit by Major A Payne. It is on Armada2Files here.

Yeah, that was the model you used. And I never understood why you didn't take the other one available. MP's one doesn't look like the original Premonition from Armada 1 (except for that module on top which kinda makes it a little recognizeable).

what would i need to change if u use the original files from your premonition and use the textures and sod from the major payne version?

If they're the same, the textures should be fine. It's just the odf that would need changing, did the FO odfs from this site download properly?

Personal preference + a model that actually looks nice?

well i agree, the your version is awesome. its what got me wanting it in my game!

Yeah it all downloaded fine. opened the RAR file and there are several bits and bobs.

All i really need to know is what to take from that folder to add to the premonition folder i downloaded from your entry on the completed mods on here! and what to change to get them associated with one another!

I downloaded mine and it seems everything except the model and textures worked, so they should be the only files you need. The sod in the A2Files one won't be the right name, so that should be renamed fed_premonition.

I'm certain the odf may have a few bits of out-of-date code, mainly in what the resources are called.
