Bob:

Can you email me how to replace the starting screen? I want to be able to test it in the mod.

I have some meetings to go to today so won't be able to work much.

I'll stick it here too:

go into DATA\INTERFACE\INTRO\IMAGES

in there u find:
startupscreen.tga
startupscreen_1028.tga
startupscreen_16.bmp
startupscreen_1028_16.bmp

each one is a version o fhte file in different bit depths and sizes.
startupscreen and startupscreen_16 are both 800x600 and the startup_16 is 24bit and thoe other is 32 bit. The 1028 files are 1028x960.

so with each image you need 4 versions:
1 at 1028x960 at 32bpp named startupscreen_1028.tga
1 at 1028x960 at 24bpp named startupscreen_1028_16.bmp
1 at 800x600 at 32bpp named startupscreen.tga
1 at 800x600 at 24 bpp named startupscreen_16.tga

I use Adobe Photoshop Elements to do this in. I don;t think you can do it in paint, especially since paint won't do tga files.

anyhoo, once you have all 4 versions, in the right bit-depths and sizes and names, put them in the same folder as the originals, backing up the originals preferably, and then start freelancer. It worked for me with my version.

Hope that helps!

Hey guys, Bob, Reynen and the others, will u please stop trying to rediscover the wheel? The StealthBlades with Star Wars sounds are in my mod since v0.5c, perhaps u should look there and give me some credits in the process...
Radiation can confirm that since he played and finished te SP campaign in my mod with the StealthBlades.

Michael Dan:

I dont think you should be s ohard on them for wanting to do things there own way Dan....just because you did it your way does not mean that they cant do it theirs...the challange of discovery and accomplishment means more than being a "copycat" someone else..who know's maybe they will find some other way to make it better than what you have done..."Trial and error" the most famous quote for any inventor...creator...ect.For you to come in here and start off like this just is not the best way to start any if at all a community "respect" maybe you should look before you leap.

Battleship's?...ya we got that

Sorry for the lack of updates, the kid has kept me busy non-stop.

I've barely been able read my email. I wil try and work on this at the weekend.

Michael Dan:

You may have stealthblade and sound included in your mod, but you did not explain what you did to get them that way.

I would take to try and reverse engineer your mod and figure out exactly what you did.

I can't very well copy your INI files over mine and trying to include everything you did would be equally tedious.

If you want to help, tell me exactly the files and info to change / add for the stealthblade / sound modifications.

Rey:

I'm looking into his mod, looks pretty easy to add the TIE specific-stuff.

On a cool note:
I DID IT! I got the Kusari Gunship Forward Turret to rotate! I've got proof this time too.

Go
here
to see it in action!

It was a setting in the actual cmp file for the turret itself. It's in data\equipment\models\turrets\ku_gunboat_gun01.cmp
I just increased the rotation for the axis and it worked. the only thing left is to make it aim up and down.

Laterz all, it's getting late here...

to add specific sounds for a weapon the sound has to be declared into sounds.ini :

[Sound
nickname = fire_empire3
file = audio\sounds\weapons\fire_empire3.wav
range = 60, 500
crv_pitch = 9
attenuation = -7

and place the WAV file into audio/sounds/weapons dir
and then used in the weapons.ini as a one shot sound:

[Munition
nickname=rh_gun01_mark01_ammo
hp_type=hp_gun
requires_ammo=false
hit_pts=2
hull_damage=32.7
energy_damage=0
weapon_type=W_Tachyon01
one_shot_sound=fire_empire3
munition_hit_effect=rh_tachyon_01_impact
const_effect=rh_tachyon_01_proj
lifetime=1
force_gun_ori=false
mass=1
volume=0.0001

the wav file used by me was taken from Xwing Alliance and procesed with Cool Edit before I used it.
I tried to add a new sound for the ties engine but didn't work. probably an existing sound engine must be replaced, otherwise it will crash.
