How to merge with another mod ?

-Open cat/dat of the mod that need to be merged with X3ModManager
-Extract "types\TShips.pck" (drag and drop this file somewhere)
-Open TShips.txt with X3Editor2 ->"Tfile editor"
-Keep X3Editor opened, extract now TShips of PSCO1 cp_mod (and rename it "TShips_CP.txt") open it with X3Editor2
-You have now 2 differents "TShips.txt" opened
-Switch tabs "Model" on the both TShips
-Copy/paste Cockpit scene path from PSCO1_cp's TShips on your other TShips (you need to check all cp_scene one by one)
-Once finished, save your new merged TShips and close X3Editor2

-Open now PSCO1_cp_mod cat/dat with X3ModManager
-Extract all on a new folder
-Open you new folder containing all cp_mod files and delete:

types -> TShips.txt

-Open your other mod cat/dat with X3ModManager
-Drag "dds", "objects", "tex", "types" folders on your other mod cat/dat

Replace the new merged TShips on your merged mod

-If your other mod use "Components.txt", you also need to merge the "SCTYPE_COCKPIT" part
-Components.txt is used to set cp_positions of a lot of "old" ships (those ships don't use directly the ship_scene)

Code: Select all

SCTYPE_COCKPIT; 136;

-136 is the number of offsets positions for each objects/ships, change this number if your mod add customs offsets
-Check all those lines and Copy/paste offsets position if needed
-Save and replace your merged Components.txt file, you are ready to play

This is really ... awesome, really really great job

The description does not mention it, but this mod include a lot of custom cockpits for ships, so I'm taking the liberty of uploading a few screenshots, I hope the author doesn't mind

M2 Boreas

This is working great, the only flaw that I noticed is that I get some texture flickering on the M6 cockpit

The TP is also using the same cockpit as the TS, would be nice if it could get it"s old 'pit back

btw are the red lines on some cockpits (M3 for instance) intentional ? I think they are, just want to be sure

Keep up the good work, this is really becoming the cockpit mod I was waiting for!

[THE_BIG_FISH:Leo]

looks awesome , i don't suppose its compatible with the 2.1 patch?

[russbo]

Very nice. Can we use this as a false patch? I'm using the Battlestar Galactica mod...

[ThisIsHarsh]

Yeah please keep working on this, looks awesome.

[PSCO1]

Next update :
M3 Terran
All textures problems will be fixed

[Tasolth]

I have to say I love this mod. It may not drastically change the game, but it sure does add feeling to it.

The only things I could think of to improve on it would be :

1. In cockpit animations stay the same speed while on seta ( may not be possible ). ( after all seta speeds up the passage of time for the pilot in relation to the rest of the universe )

2. remove the default hud and use the cockpit one only. instead of both currently. ( maybe something I can do myself ).

3. Get egosoft to incorporate this into the next patch ( wishful thinking )

[DannyDSC]

cool...amagazing...exctiting... very goood work!!!!

You can made those cockpits for all ship right?


edit : we can use your mod like fake patch?

[OOZ662]

This mod does work as a fake patch. Never heard of a mod that doesn't.

However, it appears that this mod causes graphical issues associated with the Realspace Backgrounds mod. The stars tear across the sky, making very long white streaks. If you go into external view, the streaks turn back into stars.

EDIT: It actually seems like the Realspace Backgrounds are being replaced by something else while in cockpit. All of the distinguishing features, like nebulae, vanish until you're in external view.
EDIT2: The fighter cockpit (Scimitar, Vanti) causes the above while the freighter (Mercury) doesn't.

EDIT3: Um...wow...though awesome looking, I'm not so sure this is right.

This may be related to the Ship Rebalance Mod that I also installed, but I'm not so sure. It's a Kha'ak Cluster that seems to be missing a bunch of ships (extra engine trails. I think that's a bug in another one of my mods), but is also projecting a bunch of cockpit displays in front of them.

2. remove the default hud and use the cockpit one only. instead of both currently. ( maybe something I can do myself ).

Afaik it's not possible - because if you disable the HUD the Cockpit will be gone too (try Shift+H). The only 'solution' would be a cockpit in the shipbody - but this would be tons of work and the FPS would decrease because every ship in the sector would have cockpits. Don't think the AI cares about flying in a cockpit

I saw a YouTube video about someone doing that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juTr4Oz5R1Q

v1.10a out
-Kha'ak cluster bug fixed

[manx]

Looks fantastic!

Is it compatible with 2.1? I would really like to try this out

[OOZ662]

Yes.

[PSCO1]

Version 2.1 seems to be compatible but I have not really time to check for 2.1 for the moment I am currently working to complete the terran M3 ...

[THE_BIG_FISH:Leo]

I just checked and I should point out that if you are using the 2.1 patch you will need to delete the tships that this mod adds, or it will overwrite the one that got updated with the patch making a new mission kinda pointless.

I have this problem too and i am not running any other mods, well none that would do that anyway (just some weapon changes). My guess would be a scene file got overwrote

Uh oh

Could have done with reading that a little earlier... what did I just do to my game? Everything looks ok so far (the cockpits are great BTW ).

it will probably be fine as long as you don't do the treasure hunt mission, when a version of this mod comes out that is compatible with the 2.1 patch just update and everything should be fine (you will probably not even need to restart your game)

[F.A.B.]

hey PSCO1,

is there any trick to download your mod? got nothing but ad's...

[THE_BIG_FISH:Leo]

In relation to the odd kha'ak problem. it would seem that this mod has overwritten a scene file located in objects\v\10024.bod file in 01.cat with the screen things

edit: only just realised it has already been patched
