Transports, Trains, Luxury Liners, Battleships and all other

How many, bya show of hands, want to fly a battleship, luxury liner, transport, train or any others? Now put your hands down... Okay, now by a show of hands how many of you HAVE flown any of these ships? Okay, good. Now, for the rest of us who don't have the time or are incabable of concentrating for a long enough period of time, we can't fly these ships. So, if a (large) amount of people would post here announcing how to edit the various files needed to make these ships pilotable and purchasable I think almost everyone who looks at this site would say, "What a great group of guys!" And immediately copy the information. I know this can be done, I just don't know how. But I'd love having a dogfight in battleships, that would be worth it... Oh yea I can see it now...

Several mods already have these as flyable and are easily installable (FLMM)

The realistic battleship mod is one.... just do a forum search you'll find one easy

There's several mods that let you fly trains, gunboats, nomad fighters, battleships, and cruisers.

Here's the link to theFLMM 1.1 with some mods too:

Can any of these mods be used in MP. I tried a large cargo train n crashed d server.

Regarding running mods in MP, I believe the answer is all mods must be on both server and client, but that there is a way to have the server send the data as needed. Still, I wouldn't want to crash some elses server lest I be banned....

The client and server have to be equal

no they dont, the .ini files can be different as long as the ship model files are the same. most flmm mods put in a new ship model so thats why they dont work.

I love the nomad fighter, its so fun to fly.

how do you get the Train?

Post Sun May 04, 2003 5:43 pm

if ya spent some time in analysing the INI files, you can fly any ship that exists in the game

Post Sun May 04, 2003 10:28 pm

what are the files you would need to edit in order to get a mp capable ship
like which ones like just shiparch, goods, and market_ships or are there others?

I love the nomad fighter, its so fun to fly.

hmm. I wish someone would make a version of Reynens that doesnt change all the wearpon stats etc - a bit unbalanced?

Post Mon May 05, 2003 10:04 pm

I heard he is making a light version of that mod that does not change the guns. I don't know if that is true or not...
