Hello all;


I am a new guy to this community. I heard about FreeSpace a while ago and i have been trying to do something.

I want to port the FS-STR (FreeSpace - Silent Threat: Reborn) hades into the FS 2 game. I have been sucessful in doing so, but it still has the weapons setup of the FS 2 version. i want to permanently change this to be more like the FS-STR weapon setup. is there a way to do this other than to go edit the weapon turrets on FRED for every mission?

:welcome:

I'm not sure how you were "successful" in porting the Hades to FS2, since the Hades already is in FS2.  If you want to use the FSPort version, you can simply make some TBM files containing the data from FSPort, like so...

hades-shp.tbm

--- Code: ---#Ship Classes

$Name: GTD Hades
$Short name: THades
$Species: Terran
+Tech Description:
The GTD Hades is a new class of Terran destroyer constructed under the authority of the GTI.  Not much is known of its design or purpose, but it appears to be an attempt to recreate the SD Lucifer.  All available data on the Hades has been highly classified by Terran Command.

The Hades should be considered more dangerous than a class A threat.

These will need to go in your FreeSpace2/data/tables folder.  Note that you will also have to copy over some of the graphical effects into FreeSpace2/data/effects.

Revan227:
sorry, my question was really unclear,

i have overwrote the old fs2 hades with the one made by vasuden admiral for Silent Threat: Reborn.

I want to know why the weapons are the same as the FS 2 model, and what the file is for changing what turret is what weapon.

niffiwan:
The .pof file (if that's what you overwrote) doesn't contain the weapons loadout.  The tables Goober5000 posted above do, so it should work if you put them in the places Goober mentioned.

Revan227:
ok, thanks
