Just out of curiosity, what is, if there is one, the name of a good fightspace server. I figure it would be easier to ask now than look through the several hundred servers that my server list keeps giving me.

There's one mentioned in this thread somewhere. I think its on the 5th page.

Wanderer, Victor....you two are the guys i need..
Its about the Bretonian Gunboat and Destroyer. I am having problems with its 'cockpit' view (the normal ingame one - not turret). For the gunboat, whatever the values, it is stuck underneath the darned thing, and for the destroyer, you are stuck in the middle of the darned thing. No matter what the values are, it doesn't change. It has perplexed me beyond imagining. The battleship works fine, turret cams are perfect. Everything is pointing to teh correct file, and accushot also suffers from the same prob. He just removed parts of the ships moddel - bbut i don't watn to do that!
Any ideas, or are you familiar with the prob? Is there a hardpoint in the CMP file that i dunno what it is that controls this? Cheers

I had similar problems with the Rhineland battleship before. Heres a bit of advice. It was probably some sort of typo so try linking it to a default cockpit file and expanding on the numbers.

There are times when people should be shot, others should be put on a chair, point your finger and laughed at, and some that you should just do both. This is one of those times..........LOL
Two weeks of reading the ini files (about once a day i would check) and pretty much scoffed at Wanderers suggestion, but i checked it out - he is darned good with ships - so i open for the last time and........

Working hard to earn... but too lazy to do something...

no takers on my ship(s)?I reeally don't know what to do with the ships i made other than to have them sit im my hard drive waiting to be used in feelancer.....

I would love your ships.....if i could do anything with them. Shame to produce your own work and not finish it fully though. Check tutorials section - 1 by Imagine - making a ship from scratch. It will tell you what to do from your model into freelancer

Galaxy Slayer, why don't you post a picture of your ship. I'll make a decision after i see it.

Chips, not to worry about it. Its a simple mistake to make.

umm... i don't know how to post images in the internet... maybe just post email addy and i sand you latest pics of my ships?

grrrrrrr

none of the tutorials say anything about converting .FSC files to something like .LWO or whatever milkshape uses...and could i use Gmax for this?

Hello? is there anyone left in the citadel?

*bump* you're dead...

Technically speaking, there is no one on the Citadel save for the dealers and bartenders. My email address is easily available if you would select the mail option and yes you can use gmax to model the ships. You'll need to export the ships to 3ds format or something similar though.

Wanderer... i succesfully exported basilisk to FL.

As for the internal weaps. i have used the nomad guns DA_Archetype. Not the lootable ones. My problem is when i buy the basilisk, currently in Manhattan - for my testing purposes, it somehow put or should i say mount another weapon on top of the internal weaps literally. Thus one hardpoint makes two weaps.

should i remove the delclaration of weapon hardpoints in shiparch ini?
or, should i declare the internal weaps in goods.ini?

What do you think....
