Re: ships i downloaded from freespacemds.net that i dont know how to use.
....

Okay, first question: Is english your native language? If it isn't, what is? Maybe someone here speaks it and can tell you what to do (I suspect there's some sort of language barrier at work here)

Second, did you read this post of mine:
Okay, here's a checklist you should go through:

1) Are all the files associated with that ship in the right directories? (.pof files in <mod>\models, textures in <mod>\maps)
2) Is the ship referenced in ships.tbl or an appropriate -shp.tbm in <mod>\tables?
3) Did you launch FRED with an appropriate -mod commandline argument to point it at the mod directory?

If the answer is "Yes" to all of the above questions, but it still doesn't work, please run the Debug FRED build (fred2_open_3_6_10d.exe) with the same commandline as the regular one, open the mission, then close the program again. Afterwards, go to <FS2 directory>\data and post the fs2_open.log file found there here.

And did you do any of it?

Re: ships i downloaded from freespacemds.net that i dont know how to use.
I am quite sorry, but there is a language barrier here. That last post of yours is almost incomprehensible.
And if you had actually done what I told you to do (that is, use FRED to generate a debug log), we could be making some headway in helping you. As it is, without knowing your setup (that is, where you put the data, what data you put in there), we are unable to help you.

So, in order to help you, we will need you to do the following:
1. Generate a debug log, as described above. Post it here.
2. Generate a fully recursive directory listing of your FS2 directory using this tool: http://www.spadixbd.com/freetools/jdirprint.htm
Post that here as well.

Note that you're going to have to learn "all that codeing stuff crap" if you want to do modding. Advanced PC literacy is definitely not optional.

Quoted for emphasis. As I stated this is not an easy undertaking, and having a mastery of language is critical if you're going to be receiving technical support. It takes a lot of time and effort to do this kind of stuff. Don't be like this guy.

If you want your modding tools to be simple and easy to use, try playing Spore. And if your uncle really WAS the editor for Silent Threat... well, I'd really like to have a chat with him to find out what he was thinking.  :doubt:

Silent Threat is generally frowned upon by us lot as being a slightly sub-par expansion pack for FS1. I don't remember the exact reasons why it's so, but there you go.

At least partially because of the terrible mission design from what I've heard.  To win the last mission, you have to pretty much sit in one place and tape your trigger button down for about half an hour supposedly.

Then there was Exodus where you're suddenly ordered back to Krios (even though you should have probably been there already since it was the beginning of a mission) and are ordered to protect escape pods from a cruiser and several fighters. :yes:

ST was frowned on for the same reason that mech3 Pirates moon was frowned on.  A hurry up and get it on the market feeling.  When this happens (see mech4), the magic is lost.
