Title: FREDing quiz
Post by: Noise on April 09, 2004, 11:22:21 am

The quiz may seem mundane to people, but for some reason I can't get it to work.  Here's the problem, I want a Hygeia to depart into a small mod civilian liner that has a hangar bay.  How is this done?

In the ships editor
From there: Departure Cues -- Location.
Obviously, the civ liner MUST have a hangar bay. The Hygeia is not always reliable, one of your wingmen may call it for a repair. You cannot block that by setting its Player orders to zero(It only affects you).
I suggest you make an individual, non-docking Hygeia table entry.
If you don't know how to do it, just ask. ;)

I haven`t been able to frequent the boards as I used to because of some real life issues..

Noise, aren`t you using some of Trashman`s models for a campaign your working on?

I`m currently working on some of Trashman`s models, doing pathing and subsystems.. The civi-liner your using, you stated it had a hangerbay, is it pathed?

Would that model also be the Medliner?

Noise, I suggest you post us the model you are using. And, if you are not shy, the mission itself. We could lift you a finger more effectively.

This is only valid if you fail to block the error.

It is the Medliner.  I just put the Hygeia's in and then was called away so I don't know if it's pathed or not.

just set the engines to be disabled once its inside the hangar.

wait...you are having problems to get it into the hangar bay, correct?
Then disabling the communications subsystems might help (but its actually a rather silly thought).

Hmm, probably not, a way to find out, in fred2 click view, a list will appear, go down the list till you reach (show paths) if it isn`t checked click on it, now all paths should be visiable in fred2..

I have the Medliner completed, instead of a hangerbay I put an escapepod bay, which is fully pathed.. The only problem is the first ship-pack he sent me isn`t done yet and an issue with my free time..

Get ahold of Trashman, if its alright with him I can send what I currently have done.. I`ve got to go for now, i`ll be in touch..

(edit) I`ve got the first ship pack done and i`m sending it to Trashman..
