I'm talking to a friend who knows sql and says its not hard at all. I'd like to take a crack at setting up a database for you, if that's what you need most right now. I've also done some front end web design (and graphics) in the past, but it looks like you're all set with that.

If you're interested in my help please send me a PM.

just a quick request when posting xsps would it be possible to post versions with and without a cockpit- i know this will probably double the work load, but just thoguht I'd make the suggestion.

cheers

[/quote] Much of my stuff is not XFP based, and so I don't think this problem is endemic of all of my work.

Some of your stuff does work, which is why I said most (I hope I did, otherwise I apologise)

It seems to me, there are 2 ways you guys make .xsp files, and one of these adds a different type of cockpit, which seems to occasionally leave players with what I call the stuck in the middle of the @#^$^4^@%@ !! ship problem, which is why I started to steer away from your later material.

I had ships that worked perfectly one day that had that (or other) problems the next. I never didi figure it out.

I just put up about 80 xsp files by others (HawkBS and Cycrow/Balgot). I'm almost done with Balgots and am gonna start re-pulling from the major mods (and some minor ones). I'm breaking auto-update in the process, but no plan is perfect. I'd rather focus on getting working ships up now and getting the other stuff to work later.

Can anyone confirm or deny if the Andromeda/Glorious Heritage from my site works? It's a pain to repull and so I'd like to keep using it as is, but only if it works.

Someone earlier in this thread offered to test? Well, I've got a project for them. I need to know which of the XSP files which list me as the author on the website work and which do not... so I can just update the versions on the working ones and not have to muck with them.

as I have said before, some of your ships just plain dont work with ddrs. so exactly what are you asking me/us to test ?

test your ships with ddrs ?
test your ships with some other mod ?
test your ships with a vanilla game ?

Just to let everyone know, i am helping tensin with balogt's ships (ones not completed prior), at this time we are considering having only one main XSP site, this i'll be working with tensin as he needs and for now Dukes Shipyard will see little if any expansion in favour of a more focused effort to built tensins already extensive collection. It maybe in time Dukes shipyard may vanish, it was only born because there was no sign of others about, now all have returned and we are working together it seem's more suitable to pool our efforts

I went ahead and checked it. It works except for the up turret.

Personlly, I'm testing for the 'nilla game. If something functions in the nilla game and does not function in a given mod it's becuase the mod has changed a reasource.

Fixing becomes very problamatic, as one risks breaking the ship for the unaltered game, and it says nothing of problems with other mods.

Someday, I'd love to have a compatability list with major mods, and maybe versions for each where appropriate, but for the foreseeable future, that's a poor use of time that could be spent getting working vessels for the main game.

To be honest, it may end up more pragmatic to adjust the mod than many XSPs.

I'm sorry to report that, at least for me, your repacked Thor still doesn't work. It is somewhat "better" than the old one : the guns are properly placed, and you can actually fly it without issues, but still it has no hull model on the outside. You can just see the guns and turrets floating around an invisible, ghost hull. A missing texture, maybe, this time?

I tried many things (even removing that suspect .bod in the scene path, since every ship i have seen with those issues have the .bod extension there, while the ones which work don't), but without any luck at all. Any ideas? Was that ship tested and proven working on other systems (so it should be a single issue of mine) or not?

I'm really going crazy on that damn ship

Duke,

I've pulled all four XSPs off your website. The Terran ship and Falcon are updated on mine and the other two will be tonight or tomorrow.

mcsquared · Post by **mcsquared** » Sun, 14. Jan 07, 03:18

Excellent ships so far! How about a Terran Odin M1?

tensin · Post by **tensin** » Sun, 14. Jan 07, 12:33

Someone seems to have one on another thread. I may see if I can grab that.

Find me the XSPs and I'll put them up.

The only thing I've found was a SHIPYARD! See http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... 50#1985850. If you can help me with this, I'll be eternally grateful!

Hello, I hope my question not to be stupid, but... When I try to go to "Duke's Shipyard" there's a "Restricted Access" message, so I can't download anything...

What I have to do to download the StarCraft BattleCruiser and the other stuff?

Thank you!
