Yes, I've never known how to insert the name of a specific ship on its hull.

Apparently in FSO, the name of a certain ship appears on its hull (for example "GTD Bastion" on the Bastion's hull). How can I do this?

Help = appreciated.

[Droid803]

In fred, texture replacement.
You need to have a texture with the ship's name on it, then look for "nameplate" (or capital01-05 in the case of the orion), and replace it.

[Galemp]

Most ships (Orion excluded, ironically enough) have a special area for nameplates. You need to make a texture with the name of the ship at a 4:1 aspect ratio (such as 128x512) with a translucent background, save it in you mod's Maps folder, then use the Texture Replace option in the ships editor to replace the Nameplate.

...I never was good in modelling/texturing, but thanks anyway,

...I never was good in modelling/texturing, but thanks anyway,

Nameplates are really not that hard. You just need to make a single, simple file to make it work. Read this wiki page on texture replacement.

The Orion takes a bit more work, but there is a link to a very good photoshop template on the wiki page.

*BUMP*

Where do nameplate textures go? I tried the Maps folder under data but when I try to replace the texture in FRED it says it can't find the file.

[Mobius]

They go in data/maps. Is it a mod folder the one you're using?

[The E]

They need to be in data\maps, and they need to be there when FRED is started up, otherwise they don't show up in FRED.

[Buckshee Rounds]

It's in there, the filename is fine, it's 8-bit pcx, 4-1 ratio, there before I start FRED, I don't know why it won't show up.

[Mobius]

Is data/maps in a mod folder?

[Buckshee Rounds]

No, it's the retail folder. Should it be in mediavps?

[The E]

 

pcx?

Why are you using pcx?

Oh.

In the texture replacement field, are you entering the full filename, including extension? (Like "blabla.pcx"?)

You should only enter the filename, without extension.

Also, please use a debug build of FRED, and post a fred2_open.log

Should it be in mediavps?

No, it should be in your very own mod folder.

[Buckshee Rounds]

I'm not making a mod I just want to add a nameplate to a Deimos in a standalone FREDed mission.

I've entered the name without the extensions and FRED still says it can't find it. The file is in FS2/data/maps is there someplace else it should go?

I'm using pcx since it's easier to write the name in Stop font over a green background than do the .dds tutorial since I have no idea what "add an alpha channel" means.

[The E]

I would suggest to get paint.net, and take a look at nameplates from other mods.

Now, what is the filename of the nameplate? Are you sure you entered it correctly? Can you post it here? And can you post a fred2_open.log?

If you're doing a mission straight for retail, or retail+mediavps, using the data\maps folder in the FS2 directory is fine.

[Buckshee Rounds]

The file name is gtcvjulius.pcx (I'm FREDing one of the academy missions for my own purposes), I've entered it without the .pcx part and it simply won't work.  Here's a download link: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b43d452/n/gtcvjulius.pcx
