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.

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.

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 ?

[magatsu1]

the table data is a notepad doc.
so I can paste it straight into the appropiate table then ?

[Styxx]

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.

[magatsu1]

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.
