Why on earth would you want the fsport ships in Blue Planet?

Why not ? After all, Gefs use all sorts of GW-era stuff.


In all seriousness, before you can even try to go ahead with such a project, you'll need to learn and understand a wide array of modding basis. I direct you there.

We don't usually remove topics unless there's a really good reason to do so. I don't see good enough reason so far.

Regarding your request...

TL;DR: Too much effort for very little gain, no one's going to do it for you. To do it yourself, you need to learn to mod FS2_Open.



What you're asking is not a trivial matter and making a walk-through specifically for that is basically the same thing as actually making the mod. Essentially, if someone made a "walk-through" for that, they would first need to do all the work and then you could follow a step-by-step guide. I'm not going to stop anyone from offering their help in making that kind of mod chimaera for you, but facts of life suggest that the probability of such a thing occurring is quite slim.



There is a lot of information available on modding, both on the forums and on Hard Light Wiki. But instead of trying to plunge headfirst into trying to make two very different mods work together without errors or other problems, I would suggest trying to learn some of the basic modding skills first:

-FS2_Open data structure (including the mod directory system)
-VP file data extraction
-table files and editing them

A nice little project could be trying to add one single ship from FSPort to be selectable in a single Blue Planet mission. To do this would would need to:

-extract the ship's data and table files from FSPort VP files
-extract any weapon files that you want the ship to use in Blue Planet
-make modular tables that add the ship and its weapons to the data used by Blue Planet
-add the ship to a Blue Planet mission loadout of your choice
-enable this new mod ALONG with Blue Planet, and try and see if the ship can be used in the mission you chose.
-fix all the errors.

-optional step 1: Despair as you realize you would essentially have to do this for ALL THE SHIPS AND WEAPONS. And all the Blue Planet missions you want the ships/weapons appear in, of course.
-optional step 2: Abandon all hope... and realize you now have a rudimentary skill set to approach FSO Modding with a new perspective.

so if I wanted just the fsport ships into BluePlanet 2 I would drag over the maps, tables and models? 

No.
Drag over maps and models.
Copy paste specific table entries, edit them to reference existing entries properly.

That is the quickest and easiest way.

is there a walkthrough that's available to show how I can do this lol?

Mod crossovers are actually a very interesting modding exercise. As it's been said, there is no easy way to do this, but learning how to do so teaches you a bunch of useful modding skills. And once you know how to do one crossover, you can do it again whenever you want, with whatever mods you want.
And if you encounter any bumps on your way, the forum and its modders will be glad to help.
