Still will not work. Only one ship mod can be run at once.

Damn. Ok, thanks.

Since the two can not be used together, ive merged them into "X Innovation Merge Mod", moved the original ship pack out of the directory, and put my file into the /mod, selected it, and now ive got all the ships.

Thanks for your help anyway, killerog.

OK, so im trying to get CMOD working with this, since i used to use the mod but new ships required being looked at and tested!

...however id like to use both now, but i cant seem to get your ships to show up with CMOD installed...even when installed as a fake patch...Any Suggestions?

killerog · Post by **killerog** » Thu, 25. Feb 10, 21:23

If CMOD uses the tship file(dose it edit ship stats?) then it will have to be merged with this mod. As I said above only one ship mod can be ran at once this includes mods that change ship stats.

Right right, my bad...guess its time to learn mod merging

Those new ships are awesome. I've not tested them enough to see if they're well balanced.

(I use a merged SRM 0.61 / this pack (plus other stuff, eEQ 2.5, Logain Ind...)

And by the way, CMod doesn't use TShips (Just: TBullets, TLaser, TMissiles, TShields)

PS: I don't know if I've screwed my merged but I've seen two "mistakes"

- The ID in the Tships for the falchion is 16801 [Ego in, I think] and the description refers so to 16802 but in your 9951-L044 files, it is another description of the Hataka. [Don't know if I'm clear] {Solution I use: Replace the description in the 9951}

- Those with ID 4000000+ conflicts with Cycrow Plugins Manager [And the Normandy MK 1 conflicts witch the ID of Salvage Claim Software] {Sol: Change ID of the Normandy in TShips and in 9951}

Edit: Just the Cmod's Improved Ships modify TShips

Best thing to do is get the tship file from CMOD and add the new ships from this mods tship file to that. Then just add the other files this mod has to CMODs mod.

X1000 · Post by **X1000** » Thu, 25. Feb 10, 22:40

Yes. The Falchon (Mispelling? Idk.. Its the M3 thing.) Has the description of the Hataka. And i cant seem to find the right description in the files.. It does not effect me, but it needs to be fix. A M3 has the description of a M1.

Yeah i didnt install the Imp Ships part, as thats one of the optional parts(Unless im missing something)...idk..the packager installs CMod as a fake patch, so i tried installing this mod as a reg mod, but it still wont work...gunna go through Cmod i guess.

Neaera · Post by **Neaera** » Thu, 25. Feb 10, 23:49

I've both installed (Merged TShips (SRM/Cadius...) + CMoD) and they work great.
Both as fake patch. TShips as 11, et CMoD as 12.

I don't know if this correct but if you install CMod as fake patch + Cadius pack as a mod, It will "load" Cmod and after Cadius, and like SRM's read me said "Install SRM and after Cmod".
I think it's the same from Cadius pack (Modified TShips mods and after Cmod)
[Or I'm completely wrong and my TShips (Base SRM + Add-on Cadius) is compatible with CMod and the Cadius' "vanilla" is not]

Gemini24 · Post by **Gemini24** » Fri, 26. Feb 10, 00:13

Yeah i got it, i have Cmod as a fake patch, and Cadius ships as a mod, once i reinstalled the base Cmod it started working, so im thinking i installed the Imp ships too without thinking.

lol but i got it!

This new defence station looks like it can blow up anything in a single shot (kinda like mad Torus defence) - do you plan to make a new weapon for it? Also for ballance purpose it would be good if it don't have any fighter defence, exept maybe a small hangar.

Unfortunately no, thats not how it works. You can't add weapons to stations, so it'll just be for show.

Ha, looks like I made two entries for Hakata, thats silly. Noted and fixed for next version.

Ok guys having problems installing the mod, i've been able to replicate the issue. If you use the plugin manager it has a habit of creating a Tship file in your types folder. This will overwrite every other Tship. Go to your X3TC directory and see if you have a types folder, if yes go in and see if theres a Tship file. If you do, remove it.

OR

Install the ship pack as a mod, select it in the mod package menu. And then run plugin manager and then close it. The plugin manager will then create an updated Tship file in the types folder. This should get it working. If you use this method, you'll have to do it every time you update the ship pack.

EDIT:
A replacement for the USC Mobile Mining Base Ship

Has 6 external docks for TS so it'll work great with Lucike's Prospector script

New miner looks cool, kinda like Osaka. However the container texture doesn't fit to the whole model (neither color or quality of the container texture- looks like paint job).

Edit:

Could you tell us what (types) of ships do you plan (or have WIP) to make in the near future?

Retiredman · Post by **Retiredman** » Fri, 26. Feb 10, 16:15

Don't know about the paint job, but that looks great.
Now you can tells it's not a Tokoyo carrier, nor the destroyer.

Cadius Design Services does it again.

dude your ships look better then the egosoft ones, have thay offered you a job yet?

Gemini24 · Post by **Gemini24** » Fri, 26. Feb 10, 19:02

ehh kinda like the rusty container looking things...gives more of a container ship feel..idk...always felt the Terran ships were a little too clean for a Mining operation...

Cadius · Post by **Cadius** » Fri, 26. Feb 10, 19:50

Ok cleaned up the container abit. But in the end it's not supposed to be "part of the ship". They're just containers.

Once the containers are filled up, the ship jumps to a nearby system with an Orbital Freight Dock where it drops off the containers and pick up empty ones for the next harvest.

And before anyone asks, no it does not actually drop containers off ingame

Eh.. no not really. I don't actually have a master plan. Just making them as I play, WIPs I have that may or may not show up for the next version - new USC M2, Split fighters and a Paranid gunship

Cadius, this is amazing, thank you for your work.

P.s. have you considered making a TS class ship which has slow speed, no shields and good cargo bay to act as a container?
