Ok an update on the testing,

The fighter class ships (m3 M4 and M5) will not land on the Venator.

They cannot find the approach position for automatic docking. One of the m3s actually was looking for it but flew straight into the Venator and blew up.

As a player ship using any of the fighters I cannot request permission to land so I'm assuming the docking protocol for fighters is inactive at this stage.

My TS docked no problem.

M6 docks no problem however I would recommend that the approach be at a slight angle downwards so that the ship doesn't fly through the fuselage of the Venator but instead the approach comes from underneath.

about the fighters.. i dont have any problems with them.. they all line up nicely and fly streight into the dock..

ill download the testpackage and test it myself, perhaps something was left out or something..

i would like to change the angle very much but im not sure how to do this yet.. i will deffo look into this since its not very cool to have a ship flying through another..

[DarthVain]

Excellent. That'll be great if you could look into it. Apart from that the ship looks awesome.

[Anubitus]

uploaded a new testpackage in the main topic, it fixes a few things and should make the installation more easy..

i wasnt able to change the M6 docking path yet tho..

be sure to check it out..

Although i'm tempted to lock this because i don't want 2 topics for every script or mod going, i will not at the moment.

However if i find both being bumped with similar info the decision will be made for me


It's not about your mod (which is very nice), just the fact it opens it up for everybody else to do so because we have a precedence.

I also have a lack of faith in people doing what you want them to and posting in the correct topic.

Maybe 1 topic would be best for the balance of the forum because if this breeds there will be a 1 topic rule introduced

Fighters still cannot dock inside the ship.

And I know why

No, that would be mean if I ended my post with this, so here we go:

I looked through your scene file, and found this:

Code: Select all

P 55; B ships\Anubitus\props\int_fighter_launching_dummy; N Bships\Anubitus\props\int_fighter_launching_dummy; b  // idx 55

P 56 to 58 also contain this, and P 59 contains the following:

Code: Select all

P 59; B ships\Anubitus\props\int_fighter_docking_dummy; N Bships\Anubitus\props\int_fighter_docking_dummy; b  // idx 59

So these seem to be the entries which are responsible for the fighter docking. However, if you look through the cat/dat file, you will notice that there is no folder "objects\ships\Anubitus\props", and the two files (int_fighter_docking_dummy / int_fighter_launching_dummy) are also nowhere to find in the cat/dat files.

So I guess you just forgot to add these files to the cat/dat

whokay.. i forgot to add the docking dummies i made for the ship..
in my install they are in another CAT/DAT.. sorry for this.. will be fixed in the next test pack..

thank you for this Striker..

ps: keep this topic for problems only.. thoughts, ideas, what you (dont) like about the ship go in the other thread so we can keep a clear vieuw of what ppl want and what ppl are having problems with..

thank you..

Awesome,

Testing the Beta II, apart from fighters not docking (been discussed already), it would be great if the weapons energy could have a major boost increase. Currently it takes a good 10 seconds to re-charge the XL weapons. Also if you can remember to change the cockpit_scene to a M1 or M2 also instead of a M5 that would be great.

Apart from that, It's working great.

- fighter docking: fixed in next version
- weapon energy boost: thinking about it, they should be more powerfull then the other races weapons and they need at least one drawback..
- cockpit: fixed in next version

Thank you, i can understand that. I hope ppl continue to listen but if the mod and support thread start to become the same I'd ask for it to be closed (after all whats the point of 2 identical threads). thanks again for the chance.

pointlessly bumping a thread nearly 3 months old with "lol" will lead to a quick demise in S&M

I'll put this one down to experience, don't do it again
