Hey Rav,

Thanks for taking the time to check it out.

I did what you said by deleting that folder (again, just on Dread Lords, don't have the Avatar expansion)

Played through until the AI began building fighters and all their fighters were invisible (I could see their constructors and colony ships no problem)

Thanks for all your hard work Rav!

Downloaded 0.63 and just kept skipping turns until the AI was building fighters and they're showing up with actual graphics now, can't wait to play and enjoy this awesome mod you've created.

Thanks so much again!

Hey Rav

I haven't encountered any problems yet, but I'm also playing at a normal pace and was busy at work this week (i.e. not skipping turns to get to the battles)

If anything crops up I'll let you know, but it seems excellent so far!

It's still pretty fuzzy in my own mind but...

In Dread Lords there is a style number and a module number. The style number can only be 0 to 5 and corresponds to the shipcfg files. The module number corresponds to components / actual models.

Dark Avatar is more complicated, there are another couple of files in the chain (to be honest I hate the templates system!). The module number works the same but there is no style number. Instead, the styles work like this:

1. A style name is designated instead of a number. This name corresponds to an xml file found in ...Data\ShipStyles.
2. In the ShipStyle xml file there are references to templates for each type of ship. These references can be found in an xml file located in the ...Data\ShipTemplates directory.
3. The models designated in the ShipTemplates xml file must have corresponding shipcfg files in the ShipTemplates directory.
4. The shipcfg files must match components in the ...Gfx\Models directory.

Hope this helps

That helped a lot, thanks rav. I have no problems now. Sorry for the late reply, but I was excited about adding my ships

Hey rav, it seems that i spoke too soon. I did encounter a problem

As i said my ships appear in DA as they should, i've added hardpoints to them using the dummies function in 3ds max and they appear correctly in the game. However, when I add a weapon or any other item to one of the hardpoints, the ship dissapears from the shipyard window and the hardpoint i clicked on becomes gigantic and is kinda reversed like a mirror image. The item does get added to the ship though. If I saved the design and go back into the shipyard, the saved design will now show the ship again including the newly added item. But, if i add another item, the same thing happens. As before, the design can still be saved with the items on the ship.

Also, since this method only lets me add 1 item at a time, i would basically have to constantly close and reopen the shipyard to get everything i wanted on that ship. Do you have any idea why this is happening with my hardpoints?

If you don't know how to correct this, I can live with it. It does work, its just gonna take longer and be more tedious to design my added ships. What worries me though, is how the AI would handle it. I don't wanna see them be restricted to designing these ships with only 1 item because of this stupid problem.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

I seem to be having a similar problem as a previous poster.

Everytime i create a new game, play and save it etc, then load it the list of core ships (current and future) are no longer there.

Thx

How do I play the game using this mod? I downloaded it and I have "use mods" checked in the game but I can't find a way to get to B5 stuff.

Thanks,
Karl

Great mod, only found one possible bug so far: the Minbari Federation’s Medium ship Torotha seems to have no attachment points for components?

Not sure what the go is. Core designs disappear after loading a saved game. I have a feeling it crept in via a GC2 patch and isn't B5 specific tho - the same problem is cropping up with another mod I am working on. Have spent (wasted!) lots of time trying to suss out the disappearing designs without getting anywhere, any suggestions?

And yeh, not dead! Just working very slowly

Have to admit that I've been slightly distracted by a fantastic DOW: Dark Crusade mod (dowpro.com).

I cant get any B5 ships to show up in the game. am I suppose to build these ships on my own or something? I get the videos from the media pack and the proper Race names photos but no ships in either DL or DA games.
