Trying to make new ships but make them so they do not crash unmodded players

I know it can be done, i have used the arwing mod and tested it and it worked, but how to make new ships the right way so they dont crash unmodded players when they see the ship?

why? ::)

You’ll open all sorts of unwanted doors and problems allowing “non modded” players on a modded server……

Sorry i just don’t see the point $:-\$

But… Have you tried changing the stock FL ships ie: make the “le_package” into a arwing on the mod… change the Arwings files to “mirror” the Elite’s and make the HP’s IDENTICAL!!.. so all the engine is really doing is loading a different model… but same code for both Vannila & your mod…

I still dont see the point though… just make em dll the arwing or your mod… its just plain safer that way…

you dont get what i meant, the arwing which i found already works, something was done in it that made it show up as a dagger to unmodded players, but as an arwing to modded players, i know one thing they used a .SUR file also in the ship if that matters any

and my point is making a new universe that all modded stuff is in, but having it to where ppl can log on and see the server first BEFORE they download the mod, and let us explain all we are adding in it!

-EDIT also i know of plenty of players that either CANNOT download a full mod or wont, so i want to keep and option avalible for vanilla play to them, ALSO ALL modded stuff will be restricted from being allowed in the vanilla systems, making a parallel universe for them but having restrictions to where they MUST buy all vanilla ship and equip before heading to original space.

Fair 'nuff…

Its your sanity, Hair & mod… you do with it as you please ::)

Maybee find the moders of the mod you saw this in and ask them… im shure they’d know…

and as far as players not dll’g a MOD… they can play all the Vanilla they like… If that’s what they want… hmph

I’m more of a “dark blueberry crunch” fan myself… won’t touch that vanilla flavor even if you paid me…

oh and I got ya… and just try my idea… it may work… it may not… thats what makes it an “idea”

==>> EDIT : Yes… I am having a bad day… lmao
