This part is incredibly unclear to me:


Replace all of the moor_medium numbers ranging from 10 to 20
docking_sphere = moor_medium, HpDockMountJ, 5.000000
to
docking_sphere = moor_medium, HpDockMountJ, 10.000000


Does this mean that wherever I find...

docking_sphere = moor_medium, HpDockMountX, 5.000000

I replace it with...

docking_sphere = moor_medium, HpDockMountX, 10.000000

And in HpDockMountX, X can be any letter.

Thats right. Thanks for pointing it out to me. I have corrected it now in the tutorial.

Making another mobile station based on the Liberty Dreadnought and may have cracked decloaking. What i need to know right now is how to enable user commands working on triggers and how the game identifies the player. If i have both, i will test and post the results.

docking works fine also, great nice little hack, good work

For everyone complaining of crashes... make sure you're not playing MP. Otherwise you can only modify ships already in the Shiparc.ini file. Anytime you launch with a ship the server does not recognize, your game will hang (and probably crash the server too). Look at Genius tutorials for modifying pre-existing ships.

is this a retail only ship?

I've noticed none of you have done the one thing that has fixed it for me.

Look for the following under the liberty dreadmough,

steering_torque = 1501900032.000000, 1501900032.000000, 1501900032.000000
angular_drag = 13200000000.000000, 13200000000.000000, 13200000000.000000
rotation_inertia = 15000000512.000000, 15000000512.000000, 15000000512.000000
nudge_force = 3000000.000000

Change it to the following.

steering_torque = 75000.000000, 75000.000000, 125000.000000
angular_drag = 60000.000000, 60000.000000, 60000.000000
rotation_inertia = 25000.000000, 25000.000000, 25000.000000
nudge_force = 30000.000000

Under the fuse part

fuse = l_dreadnought_fuse, 0.500000, 1
fuse = li_dreadnought_burning_fuse03, 0.000000, 17325

add this.

max_bank_angle = 15
camera_offset = 8, 45
camera_angular_acceleration = 0.035000
camera_horizontal_turn_angle = 20
camera_vertical_turn_up_angle = 5
camera_vertical_turn_down_angle = 20
camera_turn_look_ahead_slerp_amount = 1.000000

It has steering a little worse then the Rhino now. and I don't have any problems with gates nor planets. You can also use the mooring fix with the FL mod manager. I use that with these stats and no problems.

Odd, you must be using a different set of values since the one's i posted have no problems mooring except for the time it takes.

I'm not sure what exactly I did. Tried following your tutorial and now when I launch from MH it crashes.

Also where are these beams and rail guns? All I see are turrets.

The beam weapons are called flak turrets since i haven't messed with the dlls yet. The railgun turrets are called defense turrets.

Reynen, for the crashes, I had this problem by using the new Flak Turrets, the ones without the description under it when you buy them. In the tutorial, called "li_my_battleship_flak_turret01", if i used them, it crahed. With the old ones no problems.

Wanderer, have you changed the values for the steering? The very first time this tutorial was out, I liked the very manoeuvrable battleship, with the newest version of the tutorial, it takes a lot to turn around! Can you please post or mail me the old values? Thanks!

"For all you need time, for this more[!"

Just add an extra 0 to all the angular velocity values.

Bump, tired of seeing all these get lost into the abyss and seeing the same stupid questions asked over and over.

Currently working on decloaking but i need help. I think the dlls somewhere hold the answer. I've already got the game to display the default cloaking button in the options menu but its not working.
