The Modding Workshop / Re: Ship Interiors Project

« Last post by KamiGaAtaeta on December 08, 2025, 10:10:56 am »

Great work, the cockpits work well and really help immersion if you use VR to play the game.  I was wondering if you could give me a few pointers on how to incorporate the mod with modifications?

I love playing the Wingcommander saga mod in FSO. I've managed to get the the placeholder cockpit from ShipinteriorsFS1 working. But I'm not entirely sure how I did it. I've also tried to copy over the Ulysses cockpit but that just gets ignored.

 I've done the following copy over all the files in hud, maps and models. After that I've copied over Placeholder1-hdg.tbm and Placeholder-shp.tbm to tables.

I've replaced all the ships mentioned in the placeholder1-hdg.tbm "$Ships:" line with the ones mentioned in the Wingcommander saga files. I've then edited the placeholder-shp.tbm to include the WC saga ships and refer them to "GTF_HerculesM2_CP.pof".

After this I probably did something else but I can't figure out what because there are no other modified files that I can find. When I tried to move one of the ships over from the placeholder to the Ulysses cockpit nothing happened. Some tips would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry I am late to this. I don't check this as often as I should. Did you resolve this?

Finished it, really was fun. Wouldn't compare it to FS2, but compared to contemporary games i'd rate it "great for SciFi enthusiasts".

This was really fun to play.  Loaded from Knossos and got an message about 12 warnings and errors but nothing in the gameplay that I saw was really affected.    Loved the nuggets in the manifest of other projects etc. 
Great job to all involved.

I first started with a 10 mission demo CD of Freespace 2 that came with my Wingman force joystick I bought back in 2003.   That CD has not been usable in over a decade, but I bought the full game as well as FS1 on GOG back in 2015. I discovered Knossos in 2020 and it became a huge part of how I spent my time during the Covid 19 Pandemic.  I still have the joystick 22 years later and still use it, though its rumble feature has long since ceased to work.

I can't believe I did not post in here 15 years ago (or I am too old now to see it). 

This game is literally why I bought a PC.  I saw the FS2 box at Electronics Boutique, and thought it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen.  I got my PC off a late-night infomercial (PII-350, 128 Mb RAM, 10 GB HDD, Intel i740 graphics card), my OG MS Sidewinder Force Feedback joystick at Walmart, then FS2 was the first game I bought.  I had many late nights playing, followed by miserable mornings at work. 

The force feedback would not work properly with the VIA chipset gameport on my motherboard, so my first PC upgrade was a Creative SoundBlaster so I could finally play the game the way God intended, feeling those missile impacts and afterburner thrust.  Eventually I also quadrupled the RAM and installed a GeForce2 MX GPU.

FS2 implied there was a FS1, so after completing the campaign I started looking for that (I'm not in a big metro area, and didn't use the internet for shopping then).  Eventually I found a jewelcase version with FS and ST.

I still have all the original discs and used them to re-install FS on a new SSD on Windows 10 a few years ago, but the retail FS2 box has been lost, like tears in rain.

I found HLP while looking for info about a possible FS3, and have been hanging out (mostly quietly) ever since.  I kinda took a break for a while, then re-discovered it when I read about Diaspora being released (maybe that's how I missed this thread).

I also remember playing the demo and having fun! I just haven't gotten around to playing the game itself yet, I might have to bump it up the list.

There is a demo on Steam and EGS as well! 

I could have sworn i already owned this game but I'm not finding it on GOG Galaxy so maybe I just tried the demo once.  Or maybe I wishlisted it and removed it.
