Nomads content pack

This is really impressive work, well done!

MOST IMPRESSIVE !

Was looking for ages to find such beautyful nomad ships.

THANKS ALOT FOR SHARING YOUR OUTSTANDING WORK !

(Though it means a bunch of work for me to implement some of these in my next Mod-Update… )

P.S.: I already managed to get the “tentacles” to work as attached-equip…
And of course your excellent work will be credited where its due !!!

RESPECT!

Those really good. Would like to have that as a zip. mod to add to the game.

Thanks for the share and allowing others to use your work.

On another note: Saw a link to a video by Why485 up there. I was in a game with him last week. I was telling him how I enjoyed the work he’s done messing around with Freelancer. He said it was a lot of fun working with it.

I would love to be able to use these however as a noob to setting this up; could someone help point me in the correct direction for how to enjoy this?!

Best looking Nomad ships ever created on this Earth. Period. Outstanding job. Every mod should replace the vanilla ones with these…

It seems that I cannot get the boss working or any of the guns. Is there anyway someone can put a code a a workaround up for this ship pack.

Question, after adding these fine ships in, the only issue i’m having are with the tentacles. They only seem to display about half their length. It’s like there’s a visual cutoff on the effect. Now i know it’s not the the new ships or their effects, but probably something on my end. Anyone know why they only seem to show half their length? Especially noticeable on the Nomad Battleship

I’ve left all your code exactly as you had it, so the effect type is the same, but for some reason i’m getting this. Check out the tentacle lengths on the battleship. Oddly they show up ok on the Nomad Elite and the bomber

It’s definitely to do with buffer sizes. I’ve slowly increased them, doubling each value, and more of the FX have become visible. It also made the internal fx of the ships show up better as well. Only issue now is the view distance of the fx which seem to disappear after about 2k distance. Really appreciate your help on this Treewyrm, only problem now is the last thing i mentioned about the 2k distance thing

All going well so far, visual range increased on the fx to 8k, will try to push it a bit more to 10k, think that will do for me. I increased the radius properties in effect_types as suggested which really helped. I’ve been using the space_farclip in a number of systems in my mod, just not in the one i’ve been testing in, but i’ll try it there and report back.

Once i have all the ships working, I’ve done all of them up to the battleship so far, I’ll give the custom turrets a go as they do look rather cool, be a shame to not use them. Truly a great package. Not modded for years but glad i got back into it with these ships, been fun ironing out the problems with your assistance.

Regarding “space_farclip” in System-inis:

I actually stumbled over some issues with it in the past… i.e: “Planets are suddenly fully visible through nebulas” when your ship isn´t IN the nebula (on the other side of it… but OUTSIDE of it) and the like… so maybe you should be a little bit careful with this entry in system-inis and doublecheck the effects ingame… Just a warm and friendly advice…

To be fair not come across that issue with planets and their visibility through nebulas. Might be down to the value used in farclip, as i don’t set it insanely high. Guess there’s one way to find out but thanks for the tip.

Those fx look good, liking the cruiser main gun especially and the swarm missile. They are all different and to be fair the first new nomad ships and fx i’ve seen in years, which makes them special.

That would be cool with a update for this pack. Nice work Treewyrm.
