Hi, sorry for all the questions only 2 this time

Q 1)

a) Species, is it still limted to terran ect ect?
b) if its not how many Species can there be?

the research i done on this (reading sites) they we are stuck with terran and the others, but was they only talkin about FS2 not FS2 Open?


Q 2) ship logos

Is it possible to attack logo to the ships with out adding them to the texture, i.e. game choose a logo fpr that ship to display on its hull at random or from a selection of possibilties?

Thanks

1) There can be more species. species_defs.tbl?? Or something like that.. Don't remember, it's an open thing...

2) Logo? You can assign logo to fighters from wings editor and mission specs. If you  mean capship nameplate, FRED2 Open has texture replacement.

FSO supports this, but FRED doesn't so its realy not worth it... yet.  For now, you're basically stuck with Terran, Vasudan, and Shivan.

No you're not - FRED suppors it fine.

Then perhaps it is unable to "take advantage" of this.  I myself have not attempted this, but since TBP doesn't use Kazan's mutli-species code, I assumed that it was in an impractical state.

Well, I've not had any problems wit it either in game or in FRED. Dunno why TBP wouldn;t support it though.

You'd think that of all the many mods out there, they would have the most to benefit from it... with the possibly exception of that Multi-universe conversion thing.
