Has anybody tried to make a field of liberty ship parts

You’re thinking of the wreck sites in Sigma-13
Those are specific parts specified in the solararch.

<example>[Solar]
nickname = rh_battleship_debris_frnt
type = NON_TARGETABLE
DA_archetype = solar\misc\rh_battleship_debris_frnt.3db
material_library = ships\rheinland\rh_capships.mat
material_library = fx\envmapbasic.mat
envmap_material = envmapbasic
LODranges = 0, 5000
mass = 10000
solar_radius = 1000
shape_name = NNM_SM_MINING
hit_pts = 1e36

etc…</example>

If you wanted to create similar objects you’d have to add them to the solararch first and then place them just like any other solar.

We never did it because our mod has to be 100% compatible with vanilla players and messing with any of the arch files really messes things up.

Found a mod on 88 Flak you may want to look at. It leaves ship parts when they are destroyed,

Hope it helps.

Can you pass me somehow this solution cose its says its unavailable? Or I need to register/login?

Maybe it can solve my question and make it possible to play a football/soccer with this ball?

On the other hand, can I spawn it with no engine armed with turrets and make it hostile for further fun!

nice topic btw

rsabatino,
Being an “old-timer” I got in the habit of backing up, even when things were working ok. Sorry about your HD though.
There may be a way to modify the Sigma-13 battleship field, though it is beyond my present expertise. I have not tried to break it apart and examine it so far. I have a feeling though that from what you just wrote, you may be thinking of something similar to the Mission 2b prison ship, yes?
I like the idea of a beat up battleship trying to limp out or even stranded.
Hope you can work it out. By the way, I always enjoy seeing your picture. It reminds me of an old friend I used to have.

rsabatino,
Been working on a persomal mod and had an idea while looking at hardpoints for the Liberty Dreadnaught. In the folder, and in other ship folders as well, there are sections of ships and damaged sections. These should be able to be adapted to the use you have in mind. The hows I will leave up to you.

rsabatino,
I was playing around with this idea and it definately works.
I used the parts from the Osiris damaged sections and it really is a working idea.

I did it the hard way by copying the files to a separate directory in my mod, and renamed them (shorter names). This is an example of the system ini;

[Object]
nickname = St04_Osiris_Part_1
ids_name = 458770
pos = -29695, 10, 49460
rotate = 10, 90, 45
archetype = or_osiris_01_baydoor
ids_info = 459017
reputation = fc_or_grp

and this is the solararch.ini entry for the same part;

[Solar]
nickname = or_osiris_01_baydoor
type = MISSION_SATELLITE
DA_archetype = solar\shipparts\or_osiris_01_baydoor.3db
material_library = solar\or_ships.mat
LODranges = 0, 1000, 5000
mass = 10000.0
solar_radius = 2.4
shape_name = NNM_SM_MINING
hit_pts = 9.99999961690316245E35

For the Osiris there are seven sections.

From here, I’m sure you can figure the rest. If not, PM me.
I have a couple good pictures, but I don’t have anywhere to upload them.

1TB? Better get 2 and use the 2nd to back up the 1st, that’s a lot of data to lose when the drive dies. It will, I lost many drives until now, but 40GB-60GB. Imagine 1TB half-loaded!

Sounds like a good idea id love to see screenshots

naw one is sufficent

Is it a SSHD (Hybrid drive, SSD + Hard disk)?

I’ve just seen the 1TB SSHD drives are around £70 here in the UK - definitely worth considering!

Unless you don’t have the space (ie. laptop), you’re most likely better served by a small SSD and a separate HDD than by a hybrid.

Holy $hit
I can only dream bout that

1 terra Byte ? sounds good but im skint atm
