Question before I start installing/uninstalling things.

I tried the mod-pack with ships.

Rather cool, and I like how much time you've saved me!

Or...maybe saved me.

Does the pack without ships use the seperate 'opplus' folder under the main directory for all the additions, too? If so...errr...crap. That's REALLY annoying - means there is two places I have to look every time I want to replace a model. When you are talking about 200+ models....that's a little irritating. All the model directories (even the new ones) should be under 'assets\models', IMHO.

No. I wanted to leave Assets/Models alone. Uninstalling this mod should return the OP installation to the state it was before installation.

Quote:

Only one other comment on an otherwise excellant effort - err...seperate model for the CA? I can see using the 1701-no-suffix and others for 'early years' versions of the ships (and that's what I've done in my own shiplist), but I'd rather see the 'default' be the TMP models. IE, Federation CA up points at the FCA directory. Having an FECA is fine - I like that idea - but it should really have a different shiplist entry - the Federation YCA, not having the CA use it.

(At least according to SFB - the CA, CA+, CAR, CAR+, CC, etc are all the same hull. Only the YCA is different.)

Then copy the contents of Assets/Models/FCA as opplus/models/FCA. Make sure the files inside are renamed too. Use MS Excel or ShipEdit to find out what geometry/model each ship you don't like is using. As long you don't modify the 5 textfiles that come with this mod, you can change all the models you want around.

Riiiight....sure....TV....uh-huh

Anyway, I do have at least one suggestion. Make copies of the 'kdd' and 'kff' folder for the Romulan versions of them.

We like our own paint jobs on our ships, thankyouvery much.

dderidex · « **Reply #43 on:** August 02, 2003, 01:28:36 am »

Oh, and one more.

The Skyhawk and Seahawk should have seperate folders, as well.

FireSoul · « **Reply #44 on:** August 02, 2003, 01:50:46 am »

I would have to agree. I know for a fact I did not split all model pointers, and that would be work for the future.. There's going to be a lot of those splits..

.. but for now I am resting and playing.

The screenshots above are indeed very nice, bu are misleading as to the contents of this mods. I am not using any of those.

I have a little problem I was wondering if someone could help with and I am unsure where to post so I figured this was the best place.
I installed OP in my D: drive, patched to 25412 and installed opplus_30_models but for some reason in game the new ships do not have skins on them they show as all white or grey when cloaked, it is the correct model but no skin.
The stock ships have skins.

I'm not sure what info you will require to diagnose my problem, so I submit the following:
This is where Oppulus Mods went : D:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates\opplus\models
This is where Models are : D:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates\Assets\Models
Properties of oppulus\models folder are : Size 223 mb, Files 2 856, folders 143.
I checked Shiplist.txt and it is changed : Romulan, CA, R-FFH-K ......states its this model R-FFH-A OPPLUS/MODELS/RBC/RBC.MOD, I checked folder is present in oppulus\models.

I installed the refit last night before going on GSA to fly with some fleet mates to test things out, that is when I first noticed the problem, one of my fleet mates said, "he had the same problem and just copied all folders etc over manually". So I tried that I copied all folders within Oppulus\models into taldrens models folder, then manually transfered all remaining files shiplist, model.siz, etc. This did not work, so I left the game completly un-installed everything down loaded all new files and re-installed, started up game all excited and then seen a plain white FFH-K

I can fly the ships that way but would really like to see what they look like, especially after hearing the oooo's & ahhhhh's of my mates in the game.

Not sure if you need system specs but will give them anyway, No Laughing !!

Thanks for your time,

Did you, at some time in the past, install in a different path on your HDs? It could be that it can't find the OPPLUS directory because of a registry problem.

What's the value for this registry key on your machine?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Taldren\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates\Directory

Does it match the directory where SFC:OP is installed?

Possibility #2:
Are you starting the game with a shortcut? Does it have the working directory path set? (Start in:)
If yes, is it correct?

Johnulus · « **Reply #50 on:** August 03, 2003, 09:38:00 pm »

Yes I did have OP installed in a differant directory the other night D:\program files\john games\OP.
Since then I have un-installed everything, deleted leftover folders, deleted all registry entries containing Orion Pirates, re-installed OP,patch,refit.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Taldren\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates\Directory is D:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc.\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates.

I also have this in registry with no directory in it : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Taldren Software Inc.\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates ( I added string value,Directory "D:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc.\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates" ) No affect. ( I also tried deleting Directory from above and leaving this one) No affect.

Target of shortcut: "D:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates\StarFleetOP.exe"
Start in : "D:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates"

OP is installed in : D:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates
Oppulus is here : D:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates\opplus

Ships I select are correct models and damage textures appear on models, just no skins.

FireSoul · « **Reply #51 on:** August 03, 2003, 09:48:43 pm »

Then I really don't know.. sorry.
Maybe, for you, the no-models version is best?

Rod O'neal · « **Reply #52 on:** August 03, 2003, 10:35:06 pm »

I'd try deleting all registry enries for OP and doing a fresh install.
If that doesn't work all I can suggest is checking for a driver update. Maybe check your video card settings?
If the stock models work, I don't know why the custom ones don't. Unless your card doesn't like them?

If someone is "insulted" then I'm sorry. I feel it perfectly proper to voice my opinion on the merits of just about anything I see here, though.

I didn't like those models, that's all...heheh.

Johnulus · « **Reply #57 on:** August 05, 2003, 08:55:52 pm »

Thank you for your replies Gentlemen,
I believe it is my Video card causing the problem and will upgrade it in the near future.
I got a copy of Mod Viewer today and was going through the ships having a look and not all new ships as I originally thought are white only some ( most Roms) show up with no skins.
I have since re-installed and am using 3.0 no models, everything is working fine.

Thanks Again,

Johnulus

Someone in a different thread and forum was wondering if stats could be generated based on how many people downloaded the mod. (In that thread, Bonk's.)

I applied it to my site. An interesting idea..
Let's see..
.. Since august 3rd, 110 different IPs tried to download my OP+ 3.0. That counts for both versions of the installer.
.. between July 27th and Aug3rd, 8:30am, another 216 different IPs.

The total so far is 326 downloads to unique IP addresses.
Wow.

Gamester · « **Reply #59 on:** August 07, 2003, 11:06:12 am »

Just wanted to point out to you, Firesoul, that the number is not inclusive of all users. For example, I downloaded your OP+ 3.0 w/Models and applied it to 7 different computers (LAN Party). "Low" Number of Downloads != Low Number of Users.

Gamester

P.S. - Your mod is great! I am SOOOOOOOOO glad I don't have to manually add the Feral Yards Lyrans and the TMP Gorns myself. I have done that for 2 different versions of your shiplist and it sure is a %^&#$ to do. (I always end up screwing up a path or model name somewhere and have random crashes *sigh*)
