Hi all!

For the last few days I've been searching for mods that change the way that ships behave in space, and have seen a bunch about -Joshua-'s mod Realflight. The features seem to be exactly what I'm after.

However, the last post in the thread was 2010, and the links to any files are long since dead ...

Does anyone know of any alternatives or other ways I can go about having similar features in my game?

Thanks!

Hello and welcome to HLP (I'd give you the proper customary "welcome beam" type welcome, if I knew how. Someone more able might be along later to do that).

Various versions of -Joshua-'s RealFlight mods can be found hosted at FS Mods: http://www.freespacemods.net/e107_plugins/download/download.php?action=list&id=46&from=10&view=10&order=datestamp&sort=desc

It seems that website has had a significant makeover since I last visited.

EDIT: Correction - you're right, the files are nowhere on that site. I'll see if I can re-upload; failing that I might be able to attach them to a post. Will post back here ASAP.

Mods should be attached. I'll try to upload to FS Mods if / when I find my login details.

I've uploaded the zip to FreespaceFiles

Thanks to the both of you for your help!

Cheers for the welcome!

On the realflight files that lostllama sent ... I have opened the files up and the structure doesn't look similar to any of the other mods that my launcher (wxlauncher). If I were trying to load these files into a vanilla game (or into another mod) where do these files have to go?

Also, when trying to download the zip that niffiwan attached a link to, my browser says Failed - no file. Says the same when I go to fsfiles and find it manually too. In fact, all of the files on fsfiles do that.

Thanks for the help!

Yeah; those files are not packaged as a mod

You need to do something like this:

create a new mod directory; e.g. c:\freespace2\realflight
create new data\tables directories inside that; e.g. c:\freespace2\realflight\data\tables
put the .tbm and .tbl files in that directory
copy the mediavps_2014 mod.ini file to c:\freespace2\realflight\mod.ini
edit the file and rename the "modname" section; the infotext; and probably the images

Having done all that it should work like a normal mod.  But; as a player you shouldn't have to mess with all that; maybe someone else with some experience can do all that for you.


Not sure what's going on with FreespaceFiles, could you try with a different browser?  Maybe your anti-virus program is intercepting the downloads?

Hello and welcome to HLP (I'd give you the proper customary "welcome beam" type welcome, if I knew how.

For the record:  :welcome:

Also for the record: if you wish to show someone BBCode without the BBCode triggering, do it like this: :we[i][/i]lcome:   Also, you can just hit quote on their post to see how they formatted things.

Apologies for not providing the correct file structure. Back when I was using these files I simply extracted whichever one I wanted to use to Freespace2/data/tables (like the description on FS Mods says), as I was using them only for the FS2 campaign (with the SCP enhancements) - that seemed to work for me.

I've uploaded the zip to FreespaceFiles

Thanks.

OK, thanks for the info.

Oooh, didn't know about that one.  Was it added a while ago, or was it just not commonly used?

...Yes.

(It's been there for at least a couple years, but I don't know exactly how long; I only noticed it when Goober used it once.)

Fixed the Realflight on FSMods.
