Title: Vorlons and Shadows in BP 3.2 ?
Post by: Carnage on July 19, 2005, 01:12:59 pm: Today i saw screenshots here in the Forum with Shadow Ships ? But i cant found them in the Game ? Can they be download seperatly ? And are there some Missions to fight against them ?

I all SciFi Series, I think the Shadow Battlecrap is the most terrible and scariest ship, and i really look foward to have on of theses Spiders into my gunsight

Greetings from Germany

If you want to know what's available crack open FRED and they'll be a nice dropdown showing you all the ships available in the mod starting with the EA Aurora.

Post by: Carnage on July 19, 2005, 01:37:38 pm: I have found the Shadow ships in the Editor. I want to create a simple mission just to see them, but i´m not knowing the button or command to insert new ships.

And if i try to change an old mission of mine, the game crash. In fred comes the error "cannot found file" or something like that ;(

Post by: Lt.Cannonfodder on July 19, 2005, 01:38:45 pm: The TBP team has provided a lot of ships for mission makers to play with. We only hope that people make use of all the hard work and start using them. Even if you don't know how to make missions, don't worry. Fred Academy (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,28122.0.html) is exactly the right place to start from :)

EDIT: Didn't notice your post there, Carnage. Check out the help topics in FRED, they are a great asset when you make your first mission.

Absolutley non-canon, but awesome fun, I hope IP doesn't mind if I put it up here :nervous:

Download, and put in \data\missions\ folder (http://n.ethz.ch/student/ebuerli/download/tbp/vvss.rar)

Was kann das denn sein, wenn ich eine alte mission ändern und ein Narn Schiff durch eine Schattenschiff ersetze kommt immer "Freespace kann datei nicht finden"

Post by: Fury on July 20, 2005, 03:28:15 am: When you get an error?
What does the error say?

It does not matter at all if you install 3.2 over 3.0 or 3.1, unless you have renamed original files.

Post by: -Norbert- on July 20, 2005, 05:54:18 am: I installed 3.2 over 3.1 and could make a mission and play it ingame.
I only had the problem, that I couldn't target any of the ships I placed in it, even though they aren't invisible, protected or anything.

Post by: Azrael15 on July 20, 2005, 04:29:55 pm: I installed 3.2 over 3.1 and had no problem, oddly.

Anyways, since this thread is Shadows/Vorlons, any idea when we shall see the Star Dreadnaught?

Post by: Carnage on July 24, 2005, 12:36:50 pm: Hmm, now i have created some missions with the shadows for testing

Hmmm, they wont fire on me. I have activated full beam but nothing happen. dont they attack fighters with the purple beam.

Is there a chance that we see "cloak device" like hyperspace jumps and "rotten" destroyed shadow ships ?

Also the spitfire shadow fighter seems a little bored of firing on me

And last but not least, i want to say thank you to the hole team ! This mod is great and i gets better and better with every update !

Post by: IPAndrews on July 24, 2005, 02:10:26 pm: The standard shadow slicer beams only attack capships. Use the slicer AAA weapons to attack fighters. Eventually there will be a change weapon SEXP to allow you to switch between the two during a mission, but not yet. The Shadow fighters tend to exhaust their energy reserves quite quickly. Something we'll fix when the SCP fixes the power output table entry so that it actually does something.
