Topic: Cool testing tools for you Modders

[Centauri Vaughn]

Now you can fly those AI mods or any ship object you desire.

Here are the descriptions as posted in the general forum for "Fleet Pick" and "Spawn 2.0":

FLEET PICK:

FleetPick is a single or multiplayer mission that allows the Host to fight or play any ship object on the DefaultLoadOut and CustomLoadOut files.
In other words, you can fight or pilot a base station, freighter, AI ships such as the Rakellians, planets, even a defence platform or listening post. This makes for endless types of skirmishes.

The Game Setup option allows for "Player vs Player" and or "Player vs AI".
This enables Human players that choose Team 2 to be enemies of the human Players on Team 1 and allied with AI.
The "Player Select" and "Host Select" feature allows the Host to designate ships to the human players or allow them to choose their own ships. A Host can even designate his or her own Custom Ships to a client player as well.

Download it here: http://www.12omega.com\FleetPick%201.0.exe





SPAWN version 2.0:

1-6 Human Players vs Enemy AI.
Enemy Ships will be created and 'SPAWN' create another ship upon its destruction.
The Custom Dialog allows the Host to select an Enemy Race and Spawn Count by setting the dialog controls from 1-100 or Unlimited Count.
The Host can choose to play 'STOCK' ships that are read from the 'DefaultLoadout.txt' or 'CUSTOM SHIPS' that can be read from both the'DefaultLoadout.txt' and 'CustomLoadout.txt'.

To add ships using the custom option you must enter the correct 'SubName' for the ship in quotations.

i.e ''Akira'' <- Will work
i.e Akira <- Will not work.

Each player gets a 100 points for each enemy ship that is destroyed, the player(s) with the highest points win the game.
A score file 'Spawn Records' is created on the host players machine 'Local Disk C' drive".

INSTALLATION NOTES: Simply download and install. The installer will automatically find your SFC3 folder loaction so there is no need to browse. Both the Fleet Pick.exe and Spawn.exe  have detailed HELP instructions listed on the dialog.

Feel free to post any comments.

Manitoba, in your SFC3 folder look for a folder called 12 Omega Software. Located inside you will notice a "FleetPick.exe and a "FleetPick.DAT". The data (.DAT) file contains all of your game set up configurations. You can transfer this file to anyone that has FleetPick Installed and they will be able to use your game set up configurations.

Additional notes:

1. Who ever is the HOST will control what ships are to be created.      
2. Host can designate their custom ships (from CustomLoadout.txt) to a client player.
3. All parties that want to play FleetPick must have it installed.
4.The HELP button on the dialog is your friend.

Thanks everyone for the input

Now, would anyone be interested in a SFC2 version of Spawn and FleetPick?
Enough "Aye's" can do the trick.

could a version of this be made that will work with the latest dominion wars mod as i tend to stick to that and would like some other options that just doing a single squable with simple AIs i can beat in 2 seconds?

Fleet Pick and Spawn 2.0 can be used with  ANY Stock or Modded version of SFC3. The "Standard DefaultLoadout" Pick List on the dialog contains the stock ships for an easy reference. To add ships from your Dominion War Mod simply open your DefaultLoadout.txt and copy the ship names under the "SubName" header to the Fleet Pick Dialog.

This FAQ topic and more can be found on the HELP button dialog.
