Title: New Ships? Help!
Post by: Sha0 on June 01, 2008, 05:37:19 pm
Hey guys.  I've been playing freespace 2 for a good while but I've only just got into FREDing,  I just wanna know if there's an index anywhere of new ships that have been made?  I just wanna see what the community has made as yet and chuck them into my own levels :).  Also, is it easy to actually put the ships in?  Just a simple copy and paste job or is there something more complicated to be done?
Cheers for any help!!!

Firstly:

Secondly:

There is no complete list of new ships that have been made.  They are really scattered around.  HadesCombine used to have a lot, but now its down.  So www.freespacemods.net (http://www.freespacemods.net) is probably your best bet.  Installing them should be pretty easy, the POF file(s) go in data/models/ (probably of a mod directory), and textures (all the PCX/DDS/JPG/TGA) go in data/maps/.  It also has to be in the tables somewhere, either pasted into ships.tbl (in data/tables/) or as a modular table (many of the mods you download will come with one of these, put them in data/tables/ as well).

Oh, yeah, that.  That list has nothing new on it.

We should really get a compiled database together, rather than running around several sites digging for ships and stuff.

The Wiki is trying to do that, but no one knows about it.
