Request for the BIG Rheinland battleship (may contain slight

Mon Mar 17, 2003 10:05 pm by Mentalagumon

Well, hi everybody, I'm a silly little newbie with a stupid account name.

Anyway, I wanted to ask if somebody would make the BIG Rheinland battleships pilotable.
I'm not talking about the Osiris-sized ones-I'm talking about the humongous block-shaped ones.

If you don't know what I mean, and you are beyond Bretonia in the single player mode, load the save called "Engage the Fleet" (the game saves automatically on some missions, this is one of them). After loading, you'll have a big fight coming, and one of the enemies would be the huge ship. I think it's called "Battleship Motha", but I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance!

Always look on the bright side of life.

Oh all right. Give me a few days to completely test it out and sort out the rest of my stuff and it should be ready.

Thank you very much, comrade

By the way, could you post a screenshot of the ship here? I haven't gotten there because i'm too busy modding and i need to see what it looks like so that i can make comparisons.

No problem: Here it is, even though it's a little unclear (couldn't upload the bmps).

BTW, if you have time (which you prodably don't), could you also make the Rheinland cruiser? It's in the bottom picture seperated from the battleship pic with a big green line. Or box. Or square. Or whatever.

I would also like to fly that one, but docking on planets would be Impossible as long as we don`t know how to enable the mourning thingy.
It`s the second one isn`t it?

I'm working on the battleship and yes you can dock with planets. The only problem is that its so large that docking anywhere is a royal pain. By the way, does anyone have a site where i can upload pics and mod files? I'm testing out some impressive looking beam weapons and have a screenshot of it but i've got nowhere to post it.

Wanderer, make a site on geocities.
Its free and will hold the small mod files easily.
That way all of us who don't want to mess with the ini's could just use yours :-D

I don't really have the knowledge or patience to create and maintain a website. Its different if i can post it somewhere. Thats why i'm asking if anyone has one. If i had to make my own, it would take over a month before i got around to it. Whereas i can post whats done on somebodies site in 1-2 days.

im also having problems with rheiland battleship and kursari battleship....it seems they are too big to go through the docking ring when going out from the planet and they explode at sight....

its strange cause usually ,as i noticed, if the ship is too big it goes trough the ring so it seems like a bug but at least it was deparching normaly

I had an interesting thought regarding the docking of Capital Ships... If you could locate where the automatic scripts for docking are, you might be able to re-write part of it so that you stop in front of the mooring area rather than seeing your ship disappear onto the planet. I wouldn't know how to do this - i'm focusin more on breaking their random missions stuff... Maybe it's already been tried and discounted as an alternative as well, but I thought I'd throw it out there...
