a mod i am going to produce [totally fresh]

[warfighter67]

well, i decided to start over again, however, using the Sol system map [because i am too lazy to re-create a system]

pretty much just more ships and more weapon types, basically a playable-balanced test-type server [will be doing what weylin does (read some of his topics lol)]

[warfighter67]

will update as i go on about what i am adding, and so you guys can review it, as i CARE about getting it just right [balanced] this time

[warfighter67]

UPDATE:

weapons are about 60% done, what i have so far [un tested]

ion cannon [kinda like the original 'blaster' with a new name]

plasma bomb [high damage, medium RoF explosive projectile (like a rapid-fire grenade with way less strength)]

machine gun [new name for rapid1, slightly less damage than original to fit with the lessened shields]

photon gun/plasma torp/helix gun/disruptor [same as before, with less damage for same reason as above]

cannon [high damage projectile that does same amount of damage as plasma bomb without splash damage]

gatling cannon [rapid2 with slightly less damage]

(all SF classic weapon types, but only one of each instead of multiple useless ones )

Nuke [does what nukes do, high damage, big splash [hopefully works like a real missile]]

ships prob wont be re-done, there are enough ships and i am too lazy to make them right now, but i think i will soon get around to making them

[warfighter67]

UPDATE:

finished mod, got a big fat error, i will send to Nitehawk for inspecting

You need to remember max volume currently is 32767 remember?

WARNING> volume capacity must be less than 32767 -- the value has been corrected.
ERROR> ShipDesignStruct::get: input error -- partial line reads:

etc..

When you are wanting to get a actual log of stuff, you need to enable logging. START >> RUN >> "PATHTO/Frontier.exe -log"

Basicly add a -log para when loading frontier.exe using start >> RUN or make a shortcut and at the end of the shortcut add -log ...

[warfighter67]

i renamed the damn thing "stellar frontier -log" and tried changing the pathway to "Path/Frontier.exe -log" but it wouldnt work!


also typed the path in the RUN thing, still doesnt work

[warfighter67]

well from what i can tell its definitley an error with my 51_design_ships file, i also have been looking at the modules file also, as the only other thing besides the ships themselves that could cause an error would be inputing a non-exsistant module on something.

Why does all your files have extra spaces?

You didn't use that old editor again did you? That would sure mess things up.. Textpad doesn't do that

Also make sure your ship volume is less then what I stated above, you have a ship thats 36000 which is over.

thanks, but also i noticed i am missing a few (20 or so) bmps that also wont download, idk which ones exactly, i am just doing a virus scan (yesterday before i left to my moms house) to see if a mod i played/something i downloaded inadvertently gave me one. i will try the same mod at my moms house to see if the same problem happens.
