I've heard it said that no one knows where to find the weapons data for the Nightmare ships. Well, I was digging around in a bunch of VP files I have, and I found the weapons hidden in the table data for Into the Depths of Hell, Chapter 4 VP!

I copied them into my own mod and tested them on the Nightmare Destroyer.... they work perfectly, and I've never seen anything like that BViolet beam....

*Dark Hunter wishes to know where in the Internet Noise found the data*

[Mefustae]

Post 'em up, why don't you!

Along with instructions of exactly where to put the damn things in the weapons tbl, as i've never had much luck sticking stuff in there...

[Getter Robo G]

Bviolet?  Ah yeah, now I remember... There was a time when Reciprocity files were up for DL. I must have grabbed them at that time. Had no idea they have been used since.

[Dark Hunter]

I would post them up if I could, but I don't have a file hoster site......

I've put together a .tbm file with all of them in it: beams, turrets, fighter lasers, swarm missiles, bombs.

But at the moment it has developed a minor table error, so I'll have to be fixing that before sending it to anyone...


EDIT: Wow, that was easy! Ok, then the table is ready, I believe. Mefustae, I'll send it to you via e-mail, mayhap you could get it hosted somewhere (like hades-combine?). Once, again, I'd do it myself, but to submit something to hades-combine must already be hosted elsewhere...

use badongo.com, they're great.

Just been looking in it - it does indeed have about 80% of the nightmare table data

It is missing the AI data (no major loss) but it is missing data for the NSlash (Used TerSlash as template), Nightmare Laser weapon (which I've used Nightmare Fighter Laser for, with increased damage), nBomb and nCluster (which I've used the terran equivilents for)

The destoryer model throws a wobbley in the debug builds, but seems OK in regular

So... Can i use this with ItDoH 4 or what ? I haven't played past ItDoH 1 yet.

It had a Vslash, is that something different? I also noticed a Nightmare Bomb, is "nBomb" different as well?
I'm a little disappointed that not all the data was in there, but hey, this is great for those (like me) who have the Nightmares but not their weapons!

I'll check out badongo.com, maybe get them hosted there. If I do, I'll submit them to Hades Combine as well.

EDIT: Aw <swear word>! Denial of service to anyone under 18! Just barely too young! Well, badongo's out the window in that case....

Try rapidshare or just email to someone to let them post them

what ? come on ! just lie !

:wags finger at neoterran:


Silly it might seem to you, but some people try to keep up a moral code. I am one of those people, and I know I draw the line in bizarre places.

I already gave it to Mefustae, don't know if he's received it, or if he did, what he did with it.

[Mefustae]

There we go.

well, you can also give it to me, i'll up it to badongo, they have a nifty windows program that allows you to right click files in explorer and up them.

The destoryer model throws a wobbley in the debug builds, but seems OK in regular

9 times out of 10 that means that the problem has simply been passed on to somewhere else in the code where it will sit and lurk before causing crashes when you least expect it.

Fix whatever the problem is.

[neoterran]

btw, what is the point of this table. How am i to use this ?

If I knew how/had the tools I wouldn't hesitate Kara I wouldn't know where to start, which is why I mentioned it

[karajorma]

Telling us what happens when you run the debug build is a very good start. If it gives you an error message (especially if it's an assert) post it up.

[Dark Hunter]

Strange, I've never had any problems with the Nightmares....

The point is that you have some very cool new weapons to use, preferably in conjunction with the Nightmares... but they'd work with other ships too. You need to know how to edit tables to do it. It's a really simple operation, requires only Notepad.

[neoterran]

Oh, i see, it's geared towards campaign/mission builders then. I don't even know what Nightmares are (I haven't played far enough in some mods I guess)

[Dark Hunter]

The Nightmares haven't been used yet.... at least I don't think so. Noise is using them in ITDOH 5, and I'm using them in my campaign... I think Reciprocity was to introduce them, but it never made it to release.


Some intrepid modeller needs to make some more Nightmare ships. I love these things, like to see more designs than the fighter, bomber, corvette/carrier, and destroyer....
