Station Conversion Problems

posted on October 17th, 2009, 5:41 pm

I've been trying to convert the DS9-like or Nor-Class command base found in the Cardassian Full Race Mod found here: Cardassian Full Race, Star Trek: Armada 2 Downloads, Star Trek: Armada 2 Full Race

For the most part, it has worked. I've got it in-game, with heavily fortified defenses and extremely powerful weapons.

However, I've stumbled upon something that I CANNNOT solve; the building. This model is used as a building and repair dock for basic Armada2. The build and repair hardpoints it has listed in the Armada2 .odf file work just fine there. However, when I put them in the .odf for my modded FleetOps, they had no effect. I tried other hardpoints, but nothing worked.

Can someone help me figure out where to set these harpoints up?

No effect as in they don't go where they should or they don't repair/build at all?

By the way, the stations size is exaggerated a bit; it's big, but not that big...

No effect as in the button to build does not appear on the interface when I select it. Because it doesn't show up, I have no idea if the building will actually happen, or if something like the delay_30,  _60, or _90 seconds will happen.

As for the size, it seems about right to me. I might have to check out the "Emissary" episode, though. Kinda ironic since that's the Enteprise-D model siting there

Is it set to be used as a dock? You need more than just the hardpioints in the odf.

That Galaxy is smaller than the series one, compared to the station pylon. Compare the size of the docking section of the pylon, plus the Promonade windows below ops are about as tall as an average Human.

Looks like you're right with the sizing issues. Better fix that quick 

Back to the main issue, what else do I need other than the hardpoints? And what do you mean is it set to be used as a dock? Like, originally was it supposed to be able to dock for repairs? The answer yould be yes

As far as I know, these have an effect on the stations maintenence abilities:

builder_ship = 1
buildhardpoint = "hpXX"
repairFacility = 1
decommissionFacility = 0
repairhardpoint = "hpXX"

Are they in the station odf?

No actually, they weren't. But I just added them in and just tried it out. Lo and behold, it works. Thanks again for your help man.

Oh and I did some rescaling. Does it seem better, or still too big?

Maybe another 20-30% decrease.
