Name plates for Battlestars (Insignia)
I want to give my Colonial Battlestars authentic name plates (Galactica, Pegasus, etc...). Each Battlestar has two name plates. One on the outer side of each hanger. Naturally the name plates have to run in different directions for each side of the ship. Otherwise the name plate one side would read backwards :).

Can I achieve this using Freespace 2 insignia? Is it achievable (through PCS I guess) without resorting to hex editting? I could always create a different .pof for each Battlestar of course, but it's not as elegant a solution as having one model with a changable name.
Be warned: This site's admins stole 100s of hours of my work. They will do it to you.

I don't think so, unfortunately..... insignia only works for fighters or bombers i think, and you can only assign one squad logo per mission, unortunately.... with sourcecode, you could probably do something neat, but not possible with the release code AFAIK.

Insignia on all ships (by choice) is quite high up on my list for code in me TC. Not that that has any relavence at all here. SO why did I post? I have absolutly no idea.

Different pofs & tbl entries - which is obviously not very space efficient in terms of a mod.

Oh?

How do you include them in a mission?

Take out the no fred tag, then put it back once you've placed them I guess. Or you could type the name in manually - that might work.

I really want this to be a FRED type feature.

Under a modified ship editor, if the capital ship has a specified nameplate area then you may choose between and a texture map in the /data/maps directory (or accompanying VP file).
