Greetings,
I got to a point where I wanted to exclude dynamic asteroids from an asteroid field, but anything I tried was of no avail.

First, I tried the traditional exclusion. It did well with the cubes, but not the small dynamic ones.
Then I tried to enter some kind of parameter like exclude_dasteroids = 1 or exclude_dynamic = 1 and other things like this, but those damn dynamic asteroids happened to appear again and again.
Then I tried to give the exclusion a property of an asteroid field with another asteroid ini file, where I set the DAsteroid count to 1. That didn’t work either…

So, I ran out of any ideas. Do you happen to know how is it possible to exclude the dynamic asteroids - or just considerably reduce their numbers?

I must totally agree, even because in my enthusiasm (Yeeeaaah it finaly worrrks!!!…), I have made a planetscape.

MilkShape version is 1.8.4
CMP Exporter vesion is 0.3
Options:
Orientation: Back to Front
Model Type: Ship
Scale Down: 1.0
LOD: 1
No. of groups: 1
And I always loaded a settings file, because I know that there is some bug with the exporter concerning the settings if you do not use a saved setting file.
After exporting the CMP, I updated the CMP with the Freelancer MAT exporter, v1.0

However, when I exported the whole file into a 3DB and created a MAT file next to it, added it into the solar\misc folder, defining it in solararch and adding it into the THN as a compound object I had no problems at all. I can handle the room without a problem.

I tried to do so, but unfortunately I miserably failed. I could see the shipdealer’s background, the two characters (Trent and the shipdealer), but everything else was black void. He said that I made a mistake by exporting it via MilkShape, using the CMP exporter, and defining my object as a ‘ship’.

This morning, I met my friend and he said that there are different types of CMPs, a thing I didn’t know. Please consider my request null and void, I got to know what my mistake is and I succesfully added my room, by using a fairly simple method of adding the room as a compund object, the model defined as a solar in solararch.

Greetings,

I’m new here, though I have been spending some time modding Freelancer. Nothing too serious, though - currently three of us, all friends, are creating a mod just for our pleasure.

However, I ran into some trouble and I need some help. More precisely, I need someone who is willing to add my model as a shipdealer room. I tried my luck in THN editing, but it is way above me, I couldn’t even get it to work by simply replacing the Manhattan shipdealer, but keeping all the hardpoints. Man, I couldn’t even change the room’s ambience/music without causing a black screen!

What I need is a small animation sequence. I don’t ask for much modifications, but some are necessery. It’s OK if Trent uses the same movement as in the Manhattan shipdealer’s room, and I don’t need the ships to be shown, and not even the ship dealer (character). What should, however, pose some problems is that the room is a bit small, like 1/8th of the Manhattan shipdealer’s size.

I’d also need a basic camera movement when entering the room. It would be nice, and I would greatly appreciate if another animation could be done when the player clicks on the ship dealer’s button. However, what I only need is the room working in FL. Every time I tried it just didn’t work.

If someone has the time and feels it is possible, then please reply and I’ll send the model and more details in e-mail. This is one of those three animations I really wanted to get in our little mod, though this is the one I really want to have in-game. Could you help me out?
