Requesting help with a station.

posted on February 21st, 2010, 12:37 am

I have been trying to install this station (Turnstile (Contest Winner) Download, Star Trek: Armada 2 Stations) into my FO3, but even after I changed the weapons to stock outpost (The ones it came with crashed my game) I can build it, I get the starbase, but it is unable to build ships even though it has a build button and ship pictures. It is also missing the re-crew button and the transporter button among other things.

Could someone tell me how to install it?

I love that station and Welcome to the forums!

anyway, What I would do is copy and past the stock Federation starbase odf, get rid of some of the special weapons, and it should work.  just name it after your .sod and it should work.  then if you want to change some stuff, change what is already there.

So are the ships new?  or are they already in the game?  if so you mauy still need the tech in order to build the ships.

I think he might need more specific instructions .

"I love that station"

As do I.

"So are the ships new?  or are they already in the game?  if so you mauy still need the tech in order to build the ships."

I replaced them with working ships, the weird part is that when I build it, it only has 4 buttons, orders, AI, build, and something else. I can click on build and it opens and has ships, but clicking on them does nothing, I think I screwed up somewhere, and I would rather not redo the ODF.

"anyway, What I would do is copy and past the stock Federation starbase odf, get rid of some of the special weapons, and it should work. "

But then the hardpoints would be messed up. And I would need to do it over.

I can make it for you if you want.  it would only take me like 5 minuets to get a basic station to work(not bragging, sorry if it sounded that way, I am just always glad to offer assistance )


oh and if you look down before posting, you can see former posts on the thread.  on the top right of the post it a thing that says "insert quote"  that way you don't need to use " it will just make a big quote box, and we can see who you are quoting and such.

I welcome your help! Its not that I can't do it, it's just that the way FO3 is setup is different that base Armada, so I am confused on how to edit it.

you're not alone   It baffles many people(as well as myself most of the time)

I'll see what I can whip up

ok here you go.  took a little more than 5 minutes because I'm doing a tone of things right now.

if your sod is called fwcntstati.sod then you need to put the line

basename = "fwcntstat"

at the top of the odf, and it should work.  all the stats are the same as the stock fed outpost, so you may  want to change it.

Thanks! Are the hardpoints right?

posted on February 21st, 2010, 3:48 am

yep, set to the ones that were already made for pulse phasers

Now all I need to do is figure what weapons to give it... It gets a base cloak for sure.

I would suggest saber or Excel II phasers on the hardpoints that say "phaser" on the original odf
