2) In some cinematics, ships appear with only 1 engine exhaust, instead of 2.
---a) this is in the FL program, and cannot be changed.
3) In the Donau cinematic the Order's Morningstarss won't always fire weapons.
---a) This is caused by the Morningstar's weapons' loadout.
4) Sometimes, in cinematics, as they go on/off screen, the ships disappear to soon.
---a) this is due to the different sizes of the ships used.
---b) this is in the FL program, and cannot be changed.
5) In afterburner, some of the new ships' only have one engine ignite.
---a) this is in the FL program, and cannot be changed.

Thanx to all at Lancer's Reactor for their help & guidance.

There's still a lot to do.

If you have any comments or suggestions, we'd love to hear them.

---H)Talon-used by the Militia, and by Pirates.

Don't forget the Retros, they use them and those Kilrathi refabs from Righteous Fire! The Church of Man retros are my favourite people to kill! They should replace the Gaians, but they should be seen in a lot more areas than the gaians are presently.

---

-----1)Border Worlds fly the Dagger & Vindicator.

---

Someone made a Banshee and maybe another Border Worlds (WCiV) ships I think, that would be good to add in as well.

---

-----3)The Blood Dragons fly the Thunderbolt.
-------a)The Thunderbolt is available on Kyoto.

---

I can't remember, is Kyoto the Blood Dragons base? If it is then ignore what I'm about to say. Make sure the base is the home of the blood dragons and not a House base.

Found the Banshee!



by Pantherras posted in his thread The WC4 banshee

Also, I was reminded of JohnHawke who was working on several WC ships. I don't know how far he got, but contacting him as well should be lucrative.Wing Commander 1 Hornet in the works

Also, Maverickdan, although I don't know far he got, Wing Commander Ships. At the very least, there are some 256 color images of ships from WC1.

looks nice.

@warzog: just finished Paktahn and Vaktoth. You will find files on the FTP, all details in the mail I sent you a minute ago

Would you mind uploading the Gothri to the FTP? It's one of my favorite ships, and it's a crying shame not to see it in the release. I'll do the MS3D hubhabaloo and upload the file for resizing.

Never mind, found it in the WCU ship dump ...

EDIT: Just realized, the file is the Standoff one ... do you have the WCS one?

Tolwyn:
Got the Vaktoth and Paktahn.
Both look, and work great!
Note:
Isn't the Paktahn a bit much for Privateer?
Who are they gonna bomb?


Update:
Vaktoth and Paktahn added.
Discovered a bug that's eluded me for a while.
I tried to add the Engine Upgrades, and had redone all of the engines to the 7 Engine Upgrades.
When I learned that FL wouldn't allow you to sell your engine, or trade it, I only changed the Goods.ini to put engines back into ships that the player buys.
(But I used the 7 edited engines in place of all the others.)
During a periodic search of the save game files, I discovered that it show no engine on board!
So, I need to change all of the engines back to their original settings.
That's about 50 engines, in 6 different files!
But that's a job for tomorrow!
G'nite all!


Watch your 6!

warzog: presumably they'd be part of the sporadic fighting in the Blockade Point systems - God knows they'd need it, what with Confed Broadswords and all

I know that engines cant be sold but they can be ejected from ship meaning you have the new engine installed. Anyway I think Chips has somewhat solved that problem becuse they work in his mod. There they are classed by ship types (LF Engines, HF Engines, VHF Engines etc)
and can be mounted on most ships. Btw not sure but I think the upgrade engines can be sold. You cant put a cap ship engine on a figther though. Allso if and when you are going to add the big transport ship, would it need a docking moor becuse cap ships cant dock directly with planet or with docking ring. And lastly how about asking Chips for tractor beam upgrades? It would be a little, but nice add on.

GreyViper:
1)I had the Engine Upgrades added, you could buy them, and install them.
But apart from that...
You couldn't transfer them when you bought a new ship.
You couldn't sell them to buy a new one in order to upgrade.
If you jetison it, you can't move, without Afterburners.
If it's destroyed, you can't move, withot Afterburners.
Seeing as how that's not how they work in Privateer, I removed them

2)I don't forsee having transports that big in the mod, but it's doable.

3)In Privateer, there's only 1 tractor beam...
So, I haven't felt a need for more.
Also, there are several missions that require one, and someone might sell their's at the wrong time.
Once I have the mod debugged, and all the ships in that are going to be in, I'll work on more scanners, and tractors.
Last time I tried adding more sensors, I just kept getting booted to the desktop, but I suspect there were to many other bugs.

Bob McDob:
I'd already given credit in the Script.xml file, but I'll update it with that list.
Isn't it a bit early for the credits on the Tarsus, Orion, and the Galaxy?
I'm planning on releasing v1.07 tomorrow.

Update:
Fixed the engine problem.
A Beta tester has reported a bug in Tau 23, and I'm working on that.
And then I'll do a final run-through before I upload the 2 mods.
(v1.07 & the Audio mods)
BTW-the Pleasure Planet music comes to 15mb when converted to .wav file.
I've tried 3 converters, and it comes out the same each time.
So, it's not in the 7mb audio mod.
Sometime later, when we get the voices done, I'll make up a Voice mod.

Watch your 6!

the credits list is not entirely correct. Lynx and Starman are, btw, members of the mod. I thought you should know that.

Im all stoked about you guys recreating the Gemini sector. Does this mean there will be two versions, the Gemini sector version for open sandbox fun, and the Sirius sector (for those people who play the storyline over and over and over)?

Is there a way that sectors can be linked via hypergates or hypergate anomalies? Is there a way Fl can swap sector cards to travel from Gemini, to say, Vega, and Sirius, and back?
