hmm...
Many time mod makers that also make scripts for their mods rename ships to something other than STOCK names.
For example, Centauri Vaugn's TNG mod includes at least 4 solo player scripts and two multiplayer scripts that rely on his custom model folder, custom shiplist and spec list.
E.g., Cardassian Hutet from Dominion Wars (game) is named : "tngmc1/tngmc1.mod" and on his shiplist it is named this as well (it points to the Wolf359 model folder to retrieve the model for the game).
I am working , still, on a 1:1 total conversion to TMP so I feel your pain. So far I cut out all the CUSTOM TNG ships Centauri Vaugn made and pasted them into Firesoul's latest shiplist along with SFB stats for Tholians and some Andromedan stats (in pirate slots for engine doubling). Still a WIP. I'm waiting for a uber detailed Melak Warbird to be made for the "Tomorrow's Enterprise" Romulan Mission (warbirds at Nerendra III vs Enterprise C).
Qa Pla!
