well and what about adding new ships to my FRED2 editor ?
what i have to do ?

[DahBlount]

Simply play the game with the mod you wish to use selected, exit, then load up the FRED2 executable that is the same version and they should be in the editor. It's important to note that missions made in one mod and then opened up after playing a different mod will not have access to the ships used originally, so you will get a message telling you that FRED was unable to find a few ship classes. The only way to get around this is to extract the ships and textures to a separate mod folder and load it with -mod regardless of which mod you are playing.

If you want to use new ships, you need to make the game (and FRED) be able to see them. The easiest (and best) way to do that is to create a mod. This is much easier than it probably sounds; it's basically just creating folders and making sure the appropriate files end up in the appropriate places for the engine to find them, and then using the launcher of your choice to select your new mod. If you're interested in following this route, we can provide more detailed instructions; if you'd rather just make missions for existing mods, that's fine too.

You need to use color tags. Basically, you can either do:

Code: [Select]

Welcome to $g 5th $g Fleet $g HQ in Ikeya.or:

Code: [Select]

Welcome to $g{ 5th Fleet HQ $} in Ikeya.Both of these result in:

Welcome to 5th Fleet HQ in Ikeya.

(The second form is a lot cleaner to look at, but the former is a lot simpler if you just want to color a single word.)

thank for the information

[procdrone]

Hmmm.... they can be taken out of the main game VP's.... but thats for the ones thats used in vanilla campagn.... if you want custom ones, you have to make them I am afraid.

And i do encourage you to read the Wiki. It DOES explain a LOT about fred, formats, file structures, and so on... its a great help.
