Cycrow, unless i am missing something, I believe your latest 1.10 release does not produce the shipcreator.spk file to enable installed ship names.
I would then enable this script through the script installer or via start menu but it is no where to be found!
I have used your previous versions successfully and I must say...very very nice work.

PS: I have successfully loaded a new game. When scripting in a ship the ships are again listed as readtext ids.

Infuowers, not sure y the scripts arn't showing up on the startmenu, did you check the in programs directory ?
where the exe file is found.

if you cant find them, you can download them from here
http://x3.ircwhore.co.uk/ShipCreator.spk

Clive, if you want to use all the xsp ships with the DDRS mod, then its pretty simple to do.
in the Ship installer, set the base mod as DDRS, then just install the ships you want. Then the program will merge all the new ships with DDRS.

Hi, i try this since 3 days to get new Ships in the DDRS Mod, no chance for working. The ships are in the mod, but you cant use them and all other ships are the cokpits are destroyed and cant fire anymore.

anyone have a idea ? i have the german version of X3, is this maybe the problem ?

Post by **Cycrow** » Mon, 29. May 06, 20:17

what do you mean by you cant use the ships ?

if you using DDRS, you set that as the base mod, then any extra ships you install will be added into the mod.

the only problem with using the german version is that you need to make sure you have the german text file so the names are correct, if any of the ships have a german name, then a german text file will be created, otherwise you'll have to copy it yourself. In the next version there will be an option for the program to do this for you anyways

Sorry for my English;

I used the ddrs-mod as basemod and the ships are added to the mod and i start with the shipcreator mod after that is done.

But : all the normal ships are damaged by graphic errors and cant fire anymore, the cockpits are full of graphic errors.

The added ships cant be found on the shipslist under the given name only under some names for other parts of the game.

but the problem is still the damaged ships graphics, cant use any of them.

have you try by yourself if this is working for you with the ddrship mode ?

It works without the ddrs mod without the problems.

hi was wondering what to do next??

i installed the ship installer and it comes up in a large box like this

Install Directory : C:/Programfiles/deepsilver/X3 Reunion

base Mod : DDRS ShipStation Mod V2.3.3

ship Author Version Enabled

viper balogt 1.10 yes

i was wondering if i just simply click on the ship and press install ?
do i have to start another game or play on a saved one and where will the ships spwan?
thanks

i looked in the mod package part of the x3 startup panel and it said in it
shipinstaller so i clicked on it and found that the game played but i was inside the model of my ship

I play DDRS as well and also have the 'stuck inside my ship' problem...this is a step in the right direction because before I couldn't see the ships...now I see them from the inside.

clive938 · Post by **clive938** » Tue, 30. May 06, 11:14

well its nice to know i am not alone and am actually learning things can any reckcomened a mod to add these ships too so i can have two seperate games until i can get them all into the ddrs mod or some kind of mix mod i just want to use the ships i love the look of them and congrats to the designers on both mods very talented people not forget cycrow and redspot for the scripts sorry if i left anyone out ( feel like i am at the oscars)

I also have the problem of being stuck inside my ship with ddrs 2.3.3, such a shame, because I really want to buy and fly a battlestar.

I am guessing it is something to dowith cockpits ?

Post by **Cycrow** » Tue, 30. May 06, 14:06

what ships are you having problems with ?

im going to test it with the new version to c if its working fine

I am guessing that DDRS 2.3.3 and cockpits dont work too well together, but I generally fly a DDRS Thor, but just about every ship I spawned and jumped into had the same issue including the Balogt Viper Mk2.

Post by **Cycrow** » Tue, 30. May 06, 14:56

is it using the cockpit mod too ?

Post by **Cycrow** » Tue, 30. May 06, 17:36

v1.20
* Improved handling of mod files
* Creates mod on the fly, so no more waiting when program closes
* Added multi-language
* Added option to auto create text files for set language

Ok a new version available.
i've also tested it with DDRS and cockpit callback, and had to problems with it.

Ezra-r: the ships are added to shipyards depending on how they are setup, the creator can select which shipyards they are created in, and the NPC's will use them if they are added to shipyards

Firsty: Absolutely terriffic work. This has been needed for so long.

Something I would enjoy seeing added (realizing that issues like making it work with the cockpit mods are far higher priority) is the ability to actually edit the ship data (tships, etc) of the individual ship from within the program.

I know this can be done be importing it, modifying it with the X3 editor, then exporting it (or manually tampering with the tships file), but it would be nice to pull down a ship and tweak it prior to import.

Great work Cycrow

I use DDRS and have no problems

and have all ships added.

the trick is to run ddrs as an false patch, just rename the .cat and.dat files from ddrs and put them in the game folder, then the problem is solved

like this:

Dat+Cat files
01-07 =Egosoft
08 = Ddrs

and the run the standart mod (Shipcreator) like any other mod

Now if some one can tell me how to merge xtended and ddrs, then that would be cool (or just how to get the m7's into ddrs)

Post by **Cycrow** » Tue, 30. May 06, 21:00

u shouldn't even need to use DDRS as a fake patch, you can set that as the base mod, and the program will merge them.

one wway to merge DDRS and Xtended would be to extract the ships from one of them and use the ship installer to install them into the other
