In ships.tbl ive got the most ships possible as i checked with fred but is there a way to allow more ships if so it would be very helpful. thanks in advance.

[Turey]

Inferno Build.

Don't know where to find the most recent one though. Check the SCP part of the forum.

[peterc10]

what has the inferno got that allows more ships, does anyone know?

They've got a FRED build that has been modified so that it allows for more ships.

[peterc10]

Can i just use that fred build then or do i have 2 use that mod, also is the fred a new enough version and if so can u send me a link

[Taristin]

You dont need to use the mod, just the builds made for them (until taylor makes the ship count dynamic, like he intends to)

[peterc10]

what builds are they? Would i find them in the SCP list of exes?

[Taristin]

They are listed as inferno builds, and usually have -inf in the name

[karajorma]

Basically the Inferno builds are named after the campaign that first needed them.

To use an inferno build all you need to do is download the FRED and FS2_Open inferno builds and you're set. You have a choice between the 3.6.9 Inferno builds and those from HEAD. HEAD has more features but is less stable than 3.6.9. Also although Inferno builds will play multiplayer they are not compatible with non-inferno build pilots. They'll read them in but you'll never be able to use them with a non-Inferno build.

Now where to get those builds is another matter. I haven't built either in ages. I know Taylor has cause that's how he stuffed up the 11th Jan update for 3.6.9 Official. If anyone knows where he uploaded his Inferno build that's probably the link peter wants.


Lastly think long and hard as to whether you do actually need more than 130 ships right now. Going over to an Inferno build is a hassle for you and anybody who plays your campaign. The release of 3.7 will put an end to the distinction between the two types any way so you also need to consider whether you can't simply add the other ships you need later.

[peterc10]

i'll just w8 then.

Why dont you just remove the old ships that wont be used, such as the osiris.

[Taristin]

The osiris pwns. Remove the erinyes

It's not hard to trim down ships.tbl to fit your needs.

take out herc 1, both the amazons, all but one of the small Terran cargo containers, and the special ships (Science, Medical, Gas Miner, special Orion, Hades, Boadicea, etc.) if you're not using them. That's twelve ships right there, and I'm sure you can find more to trim, if you need to.

open ships.tbl find a entry, right click and copy. paste underneath the entry above you copied, change all the details. your model pof should be in c:\games\fs2\data\models put then name of that model in there scroll down and find some more files. PCX files are maps same as above only you dont use models, you use maps. the ANI extensions are found in effects and cbanims, once you found all that and you have done your model, open FRED(whatever mod if applicable) and place your ship to test if it works, if it does then your ship is added  .

He's not having trouble adding ships. He's having trouble adding ships past the max number of ships that is imposed by FreeSpace Open/FRED Open.
