Scaling the universe

Thu Aug 11, 2005 3:39 pm by Noval

How do I:
1. Change the scale of ships, stations, hitboxes, and weapons fire(energy and projectile)?

2. Change in mission and random event npc ships?

3. Change bribe relation effects and npc relation kill effects?

4. Make a multiplayer mod, single player capable?

5. a)Make optional starting bases with 100% faction allignments?
b)Make faction allignments more rigid?

I am sure I will have more but I thank you in advance for your answers and help. If there is a newer topic(some are just chalked full of outdated stuff, no offence to their creators, alot here to jam the mind of us novice modders)dealing with these things please direct me.

1. scaling ships along with their surs(hitboxs) is easy with flmodeltool,however stations can't be resized correctly yet as the moving parts do not resize or reposition, weapon effects also can't be scaled(yet)

#2 & 3 empathy.ini controls inter-faction relations,there are more tutes on this and random encounters.faction_props assigns ships to factions

as to #4, you should look at singeplayer capable mods like freeworlds or evolutions etc to figure that out - i don't think theres any specific tutorial to building toward SP compatibility

for #5 see my tutorial Changing MP Start Details, Adding New Pilots w/ Locations & Factions.

mephistophles has made one and i hear its very good although its unfinished - however because he scaled the planets realistically they are divided into systems - he also redid the nav map background and it looks GREAT
