people keep talking about mods, i think i know what they are from previous games ive played, but what are they in FS2. plus can u give me a link where i should i dl them from and which ones u would reccomand to dl. Also how to make them work.
Thx in advance

 
Mods are modifications to the game, including new maps for ships (makes them look different), new models (new ships to put in game, some to fly) and basically everything that could be changed to the game.

Try HLP's mod page (it's on the front page nav bar) to look for some stuff. And you can always download some campaigns, like Inferno, which is stuffed full of mods. :nod:

Where to start, where to start...

First, try going to the HLP home page (3dap.com/hlp) and looking under the databases. Also, while you're here, scroll down to mods like Inferno and Lightning Marshall.

I'm sure everyone else would mention something else.

Oh, and try Derelict.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

I already announced my retirement twice, yet here I am. If I bring up that topic again, don't believe a word.

Quick question regarding mods (didn't seem worth starting a new thread):
which program can I use to alter the ships.table ?
(I'm trying to insert Kazan's missle ship)
is it a simple case of cut/copy then paste ?
not sure if i can insert a text document (as downloaded) in to a table ?

Yep. Just extract the table file you want to modify (in this case I suppose it's "ships.tbl") from the game VPs with VPView (find it here), add your entry to it, and save it into your "data/tables" folder inside your Freespace 2 install folder.
Probably away. Contact through email.

Got it now. My mistake was trying to modify the table while in VP Viewer. I've changed the table with word pad and have now got Kazan's missle corvette working.
Cheers all. :yes:
