I stayed up until five in the morning last night trying to make sure everything works okay, but I think I'm done.  Needless to say, I am very proud to finally present my Shivan icons mod.

With this mod, every Shivan fighter and bomber can be flown, from the Aeshma to the Dragon to the Taurvi.  Even the Nephilim and Seraphim. Each fighter is complete with icons, tech-room pictures, and loadout screens.

The graphics of the select pilot menu have been changed, to let you know immediately if you are running the mod or not.

All data is enclosed in a single .VP file, which, combined with the included batch files, makes activation and deactivation quick and easy.

Be the first person on your block with a vintage SF Dragon! Get it now!

 
 

I've already submitted it to HLP, but until they verify it, it can be downloaded at

Fantastic! Oh, crap. I forgot that there were selection screens for the Shivans. I should do those. I'll do them when I get home!

Yeh, yeh, the interface art is coming...  

[SFC_Chopp]

Hey, great job with the Shivan ships! Flying the Dragon is a blast!!! I'm creating a campaign, and would like to be able to add some of your ships to it, but I'm also using some other mods. (UA, and some I've created) I've tried adding the ships from your ships.tbl and all the animations, etc., but I can't get them to work right. When I get into the weapon selection screen, the load screen won't load. Any ideas? I've decompiled the .vp file and loaded everything into their respective folders, but it won't work...

------------------

[Setekh]

Probably conflicts between old and new versions of the tbls. Try backing up your entier data directory (you can just rename it to something other than /data/) and make a new folder, /data/, and place the Shivans mod in there. Try that, see if it works, then add the rest to that if it does.

[SFC_Chopp]

Ok, I'll try that. Did you edit anything for the weapons.tbl file? And what all did you have to edit for the ships.tbl file? Just the fighter entries themselves, or something else? Oh, I forgot to ask if it'd be ok with you if I use them in my campaign. You'd get credit, of course.

[Terminal_Decline]

SFC_Chopp:
The only things I intended to edit (see my recent post about Mjolnir) were the fighters in ships.tbl and the Shivan lasers in weapons.tbl. You should be able to paste those entries into any table file you want.

1. Paste the Shivan fighter data from my ships.tbl, on top of the Shivan fighter data from the other mod's ships.tbl.
2. Paste the "Light Laser" through "Mega Laser" entries in my weapons.tbl over the "Shivan Light Laser" through "Shivan Mega Laser".

I shortened the "Shivan Light Laser" names to "Light Laser" so that they showed up properly on the player's display panel. Unfortunately, this means the mod won't work on standard missions. The good news is, you can easily fix this by running a search on ships.tbl and weapons.tbl, replacing "Light Laser" with "Shivan Light Laser" and so forth.

I hope I've helped you a little bit.

By the way, I made this mod so people could include it in campaigns.

[Shrike]

Just have both in the weapons.tbl

[NeoHunter]

Fly for the Shivans...now that's an interesting thought provided you can make missions in Shivan langauage..hahaha

Do you mean that it won't work with the original campaign missions, or what?

Correct, it won't work with the standard campaign missions. I've fixed this problem, and will probably upload a new version in a few days. (I want to make a mission or two to include with the next release.)

If there was a program that would let someone quickly insert a single file into a VP, I'd zip a copy of it with the fixed TBL and upload that.

[Setekh]

Unfortunately, you'd have to recompile the entire root_fs2.vp.

So is this complete?
