Hi guys, got a prob as usual, i have been putting ships in sfc3, im kinda of neebie to this but so far its been going great, now heres the prob, i was putting an ambassador class in and for some reason when i scroll thru the shiplist in game the vessels hardpoint icons are there but they have nothing inside, like if the weapons and other items were removed, wierd thing is i checked the vessel out the shields arent there, the weapons arent there but the armor, thrusters, warp, and impulse are there, but the rest are empty, i checked the specs several times and everything checks out, i also checked the gf file to make sure and everything seems okay, im stumped, i spent a whole day trying to figure this out but nothing, any ideas

Well, I am in the process of writing you out some instructions right now... and anyone else who wants them. Pelican taught me a whole lot, and was very patient with my stupidity.
I have created about four successful, totally wild mods, but since I have a folder full of models with no read me's, I can't release any of my mods ....
Anyway, I should have then completed shortly, and repost them here...

Well heres a few mistakes I have made. Just throwing these out as things NOT to do. These may or may not cause what you describe.

1: Entering 2 ships classes using the same number as below> Oh stuff like this happens not cause I am stupid
but just miss it from fatigue or typos.



Federation   Fed-Cruiser2        Akira
Federation   Fed-Cruiser2        Ambassador


2:Having the same hull or bridge or power hard point listed twice.



F-TRANSPORTER-II:1   B-ARMOR-II:1        instead of:
F-TRANSPORTER-II:1   B-ARMOR-II:2



3:Using a - instead of a _  in the arc entry


PrimaryHP:1:0_360:2:0-360     instead of:
 PrimaryHP:1:0_360:2:0_360

4: Having an entry slid over  this can be fixed by placing cursor just in front of Heavy and hitting tab. That realligns the columb.


PrimaryHP:1:0_360:2:0_360HeavyHP:12:0_360            instead of:
PrimaryHP:1:0_360:2:0_360   HeavyHP:12:0_360


5:Missing a HP entry

BridgeHP:1:2:            instead of:
BridgeHP:1:2:3

6: having a weapon assigned to hardpoint 15 in DefaultLoadout.txt  and not having Hardpoint 15 listed in Defaultcore.txt


Thats just a few. I imangine there are dozens of little typos/errors possible so sometimes its a bugger to find.
What I do sometimes is just start over. I might paste the lines for the Akira from both files.  changing
Federation   Fed-Cruiser2        Akira  to
Federation   Fed-Cruiser3        Ambassador   

Then edit the entries from there. Sometimes its quicker than finding which columb got off.
I can do like 20 ships no problem, then I get 1 that is a bugger. Usually cause I should have just gone to bed
