Excuse my intrusion...

I like the look of it. I would like to see this one get posted for general use. I have one worry though. Everyone likes to put these things up as FLMM files. I would like to see the raw files so I could add the thing to my already modded SP game so it wouldn't destroy what I already have. In fact I wish modders in general would give us a choice of using the Mod Manager or just adding the files ourselves. That way we could be sure they would not "step on" anything we have already made, destroying our hard work.

Like the ship though... Hope to see it finished and use it soon!

Just Some Guy,

If you want the raw files from a FLMM file or you have to do is change the extension of the FLMM file from ".flmod" to "zip". You can then open the zip file and extract the file to another location. Copy the text from the shiparch.ini file or xml script relating to the ship (depending on what the creator of the mod used to add the changes) into your copy of shiparch.ini. The infocard.dll also has to be updated, unless the mod creator created their own dll (like porsche did with his star wars ships, then you can put the dll in the Freelancer/exe folder and edit the freelancer.ini file to read the dll. Full instructions are on the forum - try the tutorial section.

If I remember right, the destructable ship parts thing was finally cracked, why not try to convert it for that use in a later version..




Just an honest simple request....Don't hurt me!

Firebase, i have sent you the files you will need for the complete conversion including the dlls. If you have not recieved them, please email me and i will send it again.

Did you receive my e-mail concerning about the floating turret mount?
and the vanishing ship while being viewed in its docking and landing sequence?

thanks for your help and by the way did you give it already to Glock36 the files?

About the floating turret mount. I'm not sure. I'll have to check that one. As for dissappearing, i already emailed you as to why.

Post Fri Jul 25, 2003 2:54 am

What about removing the turret. Anyway slipstream is a heavy fighter it shout have 6 guns mounted on it only. What do you think

Up to you. But its already there. Why not use it?

Post Sat Jul 26, 2003 6:28 am

i found out that it is not the turret that is floating at the top of the ship but it is the shield. I reconfigured the shield mounting and put it on the belly the problem is i cannot somehow "stick" it to the body. I tried reducing the position to almost zero but still it don't "stick" to the body it still floats.

Just set all 3 position settings to 0. If that doesn't work, try putting negative on the second value.

Post Sat Aug 02, 2003 3:42 am

the slipstream is almost done... removing any type of bugs.

Still can get the shield generator to stick with body... maybe there is an object on that same location...

Wanderer is your windshield(canopy) texture transparent it seems i cannot see the pilot. but when i used it at TNG mod windshield becomes transparent and i can view the pilot i inserted.
i don't know what's wrong with my system...

Nice ship it looks like an advanced dagger or one of those ships heaps more hardpoints than any other ship by the sounds of things but the problem wif 2 many hardpoints it the power all will drain as well. just thought i'd bust ur bubble before u get ur hopes up. sorry

Post Sun Aug 03, 2003 3:18 am

Firebase, i didn't use transparent textures because i can't seem to make them even with photoshop (Can't save them in tga format). Oddly enough, occasionally, that texture won't show up. Thats why you can see your pilot.
