On a side note to classes, at least regarding weapons, its certainly possible to make weapon classes for each individual ship class if you’re careful.

You can redo them. I redefined my weps so that as an example on say a light fighter, you can only mount that class of gun. Just make loads of weps for that class only. Same for all the others. That way it’s impossible to mount freighter guns on a fighter, transport guns on a battleship and so on. To get them to display properly in game just needs some dll editing in the resources dll. Only thing i haven’t solved yet is getting rid of the class number but i’m sure there’s a solution to that somewhere.

I tried removing the Class Number for Weps on ENE. I found no strings that changed it in any of the DLLs, although I could change hardpoint names.
Can someone explain how I make new weapon classes like mentioned?

… please 1st give a short idee on what mod your working
in not more then 50 words.

;D

okok

same as above - find the proper entry in resources.dll
and change it to say

1731, “Energy Missile/Gun” (former “Turret-Class 1”)
1732, “Fighter Defense Turret” (former “Turret-Class 2”)
1733, “Turret-Class 3”
1734, “Turret-Class 4”
1735, “Turret-Class 5”
1736, “Turret-Class 6”
1737, “Turret-Class 7”
1738, “Turret-Class 8”
1739, “Turret-Class 9”
1740, “Battleship Turret” (former “Turret-Class 10”)
1741, “Torpedo/Disruptor”
1742, “Heavy Torpedo/Disruptor”

or to what ever you like.

Yes, I know about strings, and i’m doing an independant piece for Antares, the nature of which is being kept quiet. Anyway. Adding new ones, not renaming old ones.
New ones.

Did I Mention I Knew how to change strings?
Jesus…

…. the same than as with the ship classes.

No offer

• atleast not by me.

… here some things i d love 2 see:

0. anti-cheat protection with clientside crc- and connection checks (“trainer”)

1. the possibility to destroy a hp attachment of a ship, so it is lost similar to cargo
and doesn’t respawn together with the rest of the ship

2. rep + level settings working with the ship dealer
3. more than 3 ships possible 4sale at one dealer

4a.different types of radar jammers (maybe working like interference and/or time based 3 seconds on scanner, 3 seconds not)
4b.and scanner addons which compensate them full or partly

5. a WingCommander like scanner/radar display

6. weapons which are able to damage specific equipment types / make them inoperable for a certain ammount of time

7. different cruise speeds

working and ready 4 Christmas.

Sorry missed this post until it was bumped

I would like to see more unique base/landing scenes/ 'scapes.

More unique missions…you just get bored after 3 or 4 on the trot, then have to do something else for a while.

Im sure theres other things, but these come to mind at the moment.

the escape key is a wonderfull button strail

LOL yes your right!

Well this is what I wanna see:

• bump mapping
• reflections (and reflection mapping)
• normal mapping
• sourcecode ;D
• volumetric fog
• motion blur
• unlimited system size
• scripted weapons
• and of course shadows
