wtf happened to your spelling?, and i got the ships sota working now, but when they are ingame they have no guns (like the other persons problem) and 1 hull (so if a space fly hits me i am dead)

my spelling has always been bad from being dyslexic.u could send me your mod files and ships.dat file and ill take a look.

im actuallying going to add an option in the installer to automatically upload them at some point to make it easier

i will rar and email the files to you when i am back on my gameing system

(i am dyslexic too

but i get around it by using firefox 2.0 with the English dictionary installed, it spell checks whatever you type in forums an stuff and it works just like the spell check in ms word so its easy to use

i am having a problem where the ships i install are fine, but the ddrs ships are lost, well not lost .... just have no meshes in game

Edit - i reinstalled X3 ships dont have any meshes at all now unless they are in game, even the ones that i had working earlier ....... very strange, i will try a restart, without using the save i had made and see if they load in then

edit 2 - just scripted in one of the ships on a new save, it has a cockpit, i can get inside it but still no outer skin, could it be because i do not have the cockpits activated the reason why my ships will not show?

Well at least I am not the only one.

Could it be that we should rename the ships IDs? Would that help?

i had a problem yesterday...

created a ship-fine
loaded ship- fine
model-there
turrets- rear turret didn't work
external docking- not there (the model of the argon centaur in ddrs)

cannot get external docking to work, what am i missing?

it has worked fine befor for me, thought i might have missed something.

Ok now it just does not work.

I installed Deadly's DDRS and then after that the ships installed via XSP simply no longer show up in game. I do not know how to spawn them or I would check that way. I have since disabled deadly's mod yet still no new ships in the shipyards. I do not know what else to try. Help

Post by **Cycrow** » Sat, 2. Dec 06, 04:41

to spawn them, u can use LV's cheat scripts, and goto the Create Ship option, the ship list wil ldisplay all ships in the game, included the added ones. So you can check there if they have been added.

when you start the game, what do you select in the "Select Mod Package" option in the X3 Startup dialog ?

jackleonfraust, i dont know much about external docking, ill have to check that

Using only the ship creator mod I have uninstalled my previous Hawkbs Galactica for the new updated version today.. Doesn't matter what I do the texture of the ship does not appear (its transparent - but th xtm type guns appear). Is there any thing I can do to solve this problem??

Cheers

Okay, I am new to X3 and am using the 1.4.3 patch or sometihng to that extent. I also am pretty sure I have the most recent version of the Ship installer. I am useing the SG_SGC_Daedalus, the prom, F302, and the cotton tender. I modified the loctions of the deady, the prom, and the cotton tender. However. When I went to the shipyard in Argon I noticed that all the ships with the "S, M, or L" ships were having problems. Normally they all have 10 in the ammout selecter thing. (the stock X3 ships and my F302's)

Now the problem I am having is that all the M, L ships have 0. But when I remove all the ships they all go back up to normal. THat is after some tinkering and the like.

Does any one know how to fix this or something. I have been looking through the forums and on the website and haven't found anything. I might not be looking hard enough but I did try. I did also use the search function but I haven't found anything.

If any one could help that would be awesome.

Post by **Cycrow** » Sun, 3. Dec 06, 04:52

the stock of M and L ships is completly random, sometimes they have 10, sometimes they have 0.

if it seemed different when you installed the ships, its jsut a coinicendece.
if you leave the sector then look again theres a chance it will change

REally? Cool. I thought that my game might be glitchy and was like, "NOOO." Thanks again for your help and your quick response.

I notice that it really only happens when I load in a save. Like if I dock, save, and call it a night. Next time I load in it is "missing" the stock ships. So that is normal?

Gruhn · Post by **Gruhn** » Sun, 3. Dec 06, 21:25

thanks cycrow.

The ships are there.

But I had turned off deadly's DDRS. Is there a know conflict between his mod and your program? It seems as though I turn on DDRS and the ships installed xsp vanish from the shipyards.

would there be a making ships for X3 for idiots tutorial anywhere, i just get plain lost when its mentioning the technical names, i have made a model that i want to put in, just about to mess about trying to uvmap the thing then i will be trying to get it textured (not going to be funny trying that with gimp at the moment)

The main problem is that i use Blender to make models

Post by **Cycrow** » Mon, 4. Dec 06, 00:32

Gruhn, when u use DDRS, you have to select the mod as th base mod in the program and let it copy over the files. Then when you run the game, you need to select the mod as "ShipCreator"

the program doesn't change the base mod, it creates a new version

bob hope, u could try looking on XFP forums, lots of help there for making ships.

as for using blender, u'll just have to import that into GMax when u've done so it can export to X3 format
