Title: 6 gun mod help
Post by: geLoad on November 02, 2016, 10:39:08 pm

 :confused:

Hello everyone, I was wondering if any of you can give me a hand with something. I would like to put the 6 gun Hercules Mk2/Prometheus mod into freespace open and use the new textures and such. I know it kinda unbalances the campaign but it just makes the herc 2 feel right.

Thanks

Why not use the Ares instead?

So you want an older model with newer textures? There's no real easy way to do that, it would be much easier to simply use the Ares model and retable it as a 6 gun Herc2 that replaces the default Herc2. You'd just need the Ares pof. Then make a -shp.tbm, point to that pof, and copy the rest of the stats from the Herc2, including the $Name so that it overrides the default Herc2. Put that in your MediaVPs_2014 folder and you'll have it in game.

Once you're done playing just delete it so it doesn't get used in other mods that rely on MediaVPs.

Or you could mess with the MVP Herc 2 model in PCS2 and just give it two extra gunmounts. Pretty easy actually.
