nomad_fighter .cmp file??

Fri Mar 14, 2003 6:48 am by SoulForge

hi to all modders,
ok i spent the hole night trying to get this nomad fighter buyable and i made it,but i have one problem,the ship is invisible,i can see the nomad trusters but i cant see the shape of the ship,i just cant,its not visible....

it seems that the shape of the ship is in this .cmp file...if u search throughout the ship folders u'll c it,the nomad fighter foulder has only 2 files no_fighter.3db and no_fighter.sur

in shiparch.ini i found no_fighter with lot of stuff,and also these 2 lines

DA_archetype = ships\nomad\no_fighter\no_fighter.3db
material_library = ships\nomad\nomad_fx.txm

which i think refer to the material.am i right?
its strange that during the normal game when u fight nomads u c their ship...and now i cant c it...

ok so just in case ill post the code of the ship i made....
maybe u can help

COMMENTS
Usual weapons doesn't appear to be working and they also look weird, so I pre-installed some nomad weapons in goods.ini. (oh, yeah, it also doesn't have shields but they can be added). Ship is undockable and doesn't have cruise engine trail effect. (it does go to cruise speed tho)

cool ...so we were working at the same thing...nice

thanks ill try it now

Fri Mar 14, 2003 7:25 am by SoulForge

hm... i tried to apply it but it crashes me every time...ill try to figure out why

Fri Mar 14, 2003 7:28 am by X-Lancer

I tested it in SP only. Works nicely!
Also, try deleting your autostart.fl and restart.fl savegames. (it could fix it)

Fri Mar 14, 2003 7:42 am by mateovaleo

There was a thread about all this earlier and the ship works just dandy for me!

Here is the thread if your interested:

Good that you pay attention (unlike me, LOL). Could have spared myself half an hour work.
