Hibernia

Hi i'm quite new to this modding thing so i'm gonna put my idea right out there.

I. being irish, feel my people were under represented in this game even though a lot of the game was made in Ireland. (i have 2 bro's who work for MS). That said I plan to build four systems which can be accessed through Bretonia. These are Leinster Munster Connact and Ulster.

These will take a decent amount of time but that isnt my problem. I've been looking around the forums and i've been trying to find out if its possible to create a Faction, in which case i would create the Hibernians. Alternativly i could just use the Mollys. But it would be more interesting if the Hibs were allied with the Mollys and say the Gians against Bretonia.

[I hope that people aren't jumping to conclusions about my political persuasion. i have no beef with the UK or anything like that. this is just a game.

That said, anyone who can help me out feel free to email me at [email protected] or reply to this post.

Also instructions on how to make this mod compatable with others and the wonderful FLMM program would be helpful, or if someone wants to do it for me that'd be excelent.

Thank you

Well
I've just started building the systems. This is the easy part, ive figured out that much. Tygris has been giving me tonnes of advice and stuff and i can't help but thank him.

I'm still a relitive newbie to this arena so if anyone could point me to a tutorial on making new factions or xmls i'd be grateful.
thanks.

Wish I could help, but my expertise lies in mundane stuff found in the equipment folder.

There is a usefull tool for XML infocard reading/writing called FLEd-ids. Get from LR utilities DL.
This will show you how infocards are constructed and will allow you to build your own. FL Explorer also have a tool to add XML files as infocards.
I use plain text editor for XML, then run my own tool to make the RC file from this. RC is a script to build DLL.

I CAN do factions, but its not adviseable!!

It takes AGES to get the factions work properly!!

<Please don't beg for factions!! If you want a proper faction to work, then you'll need new ships and new loadouts as well. That is, if you want to make a TOTALLY new faction!!>

The ones who have havn't...
