Space Battleship Yamato/Star Blazers mod wanted
-
Hi.
I was wondering if I could get someone to add a mod that allows me, the player, to fly the famous Space
Battleship Yamato, from the Japanese anime of the same name; or the Argo, which is the same ship but
from the English version, Star Blazers.I’d also like to be able to have players be able to dock with her if possible.
I’d love to have her fully functional, with all her turrets, anti-air laser batteries, and her old
smokestack that was converted to a missile launcher.
Her Wave Motion Gun would be a lovely addition to her firepower but I have a feeling that that
bit’s gonna remain a pipedream.I’d like to fly her in tribute to the SBY/Star Blazers franchise, which spans from the 1980s all the way up to
today; with a reboot known as SBY2199 coming out real soon in Japan.I’m also willing to pay for this mod out of my own pocket if needed.
Kerry.

If this hasn’t been done already the model is available from here guys:

I am sure someone could convert it for you.
Once someone has done that I am sure you will be able to mod it into the game.As for the main gun, with some ALE effects and a beam like gun, shouldn’t be too hard to create.
Just popping in my bit, I’m currently busy with other projects.

This what you’re looking for?

We fly that ship in the UV …it is the biggest baddest ship in our Mod

I imagine you use the liberty cruiser main gun for the wave motion gun?

you should ask Dwn that … i just like it because it looks cool and has the most fire power
here it is in action

And people think the battleships on FLU are over powered…

Oh BABY! Bolte’s link in post #2 leads to the 3D printer files for the big puppy! Hope they convert into a nearby 3D printer’$ format because I SO want on for the mantlepiece! So many thanks for that Bolte!
-
So I downloaded the mod and the huge STL file from Bolte’s link. Here’s the result. Note that STL import into 3DSMax wants to weld and smooth and never works that well. The EXPORT is usually flawless as it you hit the print button only you printing in hot plastic.

Don’t you know she’s one pretty ride! I’m breaking out the guns and stuff now to add to the cmp model I imported to make some awesome beauty passes inside my rendering software and then make my own STL (yeah I misspelled stereolithography) file to run out and got me a by God real model Yamato to put in the mantle. I’ve prototyped bunch on 3D printers, but never did anything for myself. That’s going to change but I spent most of today cloning all those turrets!

Hey, sorry for the necro, but I was wondering if there was a standalone version of the Yamato, not connected to any mods, that you can fly in the game?
If not, could it be created?
-
-
Is that a standalone mod? Or does it require other mods since it’s a capitol ship?
-
It’s just a standalone mod. According to the description it can be purchased at Planet Junyo in the Shikoku system.
It adds the ship into the shiparch rather than replacing another ship and is sold for 100,000cr.

It’s broken - got this from Freelancer Mod Manager v1.5 when I attempted to activate:
Error: SHCopyFile failed (‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\archived_yamatoshipmod\EXE\chips_mod.dll’ to ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Abandonware Games\Freelancer\EXE\chips_mod.dll’)
EDIT: Freelancer Mod Manager v1.5 appears to be completely busted. None of the included mods work!
1.31 allows me to load the mod, but when I try to launch the game it crashes to desktop!
2.0 appears to work, but the actual price is more like 1,200,000 cr.

The mod is scripted for ver 1.3
You can not alter files in the *\Program Files (x86)* folder without administrator privileges. This is windows problem, not flmm, easiest solution setup a *\Games* folder and mod from there
Ship price is set at $100000 - price is set in */Starblazer - DR - Yamato.xml if you want to change. Inflated price will be down to equipment costs for the various turrets, torpedoes and guns, etc
-
Yeah, forgot about the added value for the equipment.

Thanks Thaddeus. Like I said, 2.0 appears to work just fine.
Can’t wait to launch her.
