Adding Ship Style » Forum Post by scotgaymer

Jeez.

Does no one ever help anyone on these forums?

Are you talking about the Federation Ship Pack from Dystopic?

If so, there is a readme file with instructions (which also specifies that 'KHSM for DA' is required).

If you want to be able to use them with races other than Terran, it might work if you change all the S0_ prefixes to S99_

Yes people do anwser if you give time usualy two days depending on the question there is a custom shipstyle guide found in the forums and yes you should need Kryo's for some of ships. if want to play with startrek ships there is a startrek total conversion found here in the forums.

As ive said above ive posted a number of threads on this forum and ive never recieved assistance - at least not with a couple of posts going "Hello? Any help?" over the course of a week.

I posted this thread 2 days ago now.

EDIT:
Ok ive done as I was advised but I still cant use the ships for my custom race Im guessing I probably need to create a Ship Styles xml file.
How do I do that? What do I do?

EDIT2:
Ok so I followed the "How to Add Custom Styles" thing...How I missed it ive no idea...

But ive hit a problem. The Ships i downloaded are retarded - they arent displaying correctly - they have been butchered.
Parts of the ships r missing. Or they dont look anything like they are supposed to...

What could be wrong? Anyone else got the Fed Ship pack encounter this?

that could be a somtimes error I get-

Does it look like the ship design is missing random parts? if so then perhaps the ship pack exceeds the part capacity your graphics card is willing to render... I get this effect around 200 parts or so...

Yeh thats it.

How do i fix it?

Its strange cos my graphics card is only a little over a year old...

I never found a fix i'm afraid. I double checked, I never could break 164 parts or so without disappearing parts or graphical artifacts. My own mod was significantly limited by this... I hope that TA fixes it.

I have not tried the Federation Ship Pack, I had just checked it out in response to this thread. But from the pictures of the ships they do look pretty complicated.

Another option is the Star Trek mod.
WWW Link

I have the version for DL, the link is to the thread for the DA version.

I am not using the whole mod, just the ships. Basically I have combined a bunch of my personal mods and the Star Trek Mod ships (and some of the techs) into the folder structure of Kryo's Hull System Mod.

The reason I wanted the Federation style ships is for two reasons.

The first being they fit in quite well with the "look" of the ships in GC2.
The second being due to the backstory of the Custom Race I have designed - they are a race of humans who fled Earth in an alternate reality when it was destroyed by the Dread Legion; they come to this reality and now actually inhabit the home planet of a recently (within the last 100 years) dead race who were highly advanced in the fields of space travel and bio technology.
The dead race used saucer like ships (Roswell Greys anyone?) and my custom race who now inhabit this world have begun to reverse engineer the dead races technology and their ships have begun to reflect the change resulting in a combination of Terran Style and Saucer Style ships - I though the Federation Pack was a good approximation of what i had in mind.
