Hexx -- I really don't see the problem -- 6CB on the map -- all fed ships -- simple answer is to kill every single one of the stupid buggers except the one I am flying.. Any chance you can increase the number of TBOMBS for this server?

I may want to get a little twitchy and just start the TBOMBS on friend and foe alike..

Time to check out the F-GSC. It has seven transporters, if I recall correctly......

Only propblem is that it only has 24 marines... but it is great at stealing spares from the enemy.. that is if the scripts will allow it..

Marines and spares were not what I had in mind for those 7 transporters.

..

as for the matches of having 6 of the same ship in a mission, that is what F11 with F1 view is for.. it will display Allied above friendly ships to help prevent you from selecting a friendly target.

Hmm, well yes that would be one way....
or we could find some computer guy who could write an installer that would duplicate the current Federation model folders.. hmm wonder if
I know anyone with that ability and dedication to the community..

Why copy the folders when the Shiplist can just use the current installed models, plus any models you want to add? Prevents a massive DL.. several ships in the stock game call the same model for 4 or 5 ships during a mission without problems.. as such, duplicating the Physical models is just a redundancy and is un-necessary... plus will take a bit of HDD space without a valid need to do so..

Now if you are adding Models .. I can build an installer for them and all your shiplist will need to do is point to that one installed model.. it makes no difference how many entries in your shiplist you have for it and it makes no difference if it is enemies or not.. as such say you are using Klingon for the Mirror race.. the Assets/Models/FCA/FCA.mod will work for the K-CB just as well as it will work for F-CB, Assets/Models/FCA/FCA.mod

Race, sides, number of entries i the shiplist will make no difference to the game on which model it is using or how many times it is being used.. this will save install time, HDD space, install speed, easier uninstall, etc...

Hope that this helps.

Also it will help when you modify the Model.siz file... You will not need to modify the Model.siz file at all.... except to enter the ships you added..

Hexx:

If you're just looking to copy the Fed model folders to make a second set available for those who wish to modify the "Empire" ships, I could fish out the old LB5 Installer and modify it...

Actually I'm thinking an installer that could simply create models for
FF (?) DD (?) CL CA CC(?) BCH DN would be OK, there aren't that many Mirror models out there
and I think most people will be flying NCL/CA's so you wouldn't need that many extra model folders.

Well, sure, but I really was thinking of populating my side (good guys) with TOS models, and the other side (bad guys) with TNG models.  And there are plenty of both of those out there.

Well, for a 2 week server, I see no real purpose for anyone to go through all that trouble.. now if it was going to be a 2 month campaign, then for visual eye candy, I could see one doing it..

However as I told Hexx, I'll make an installer to do what he wants..

Also, if Hex likes, I can incorporate some of the D2 Model Pack models into the installer with an option of Modeled or non modeled install version (either to install the D2 Models or to copy stock models)...

Anyhow, for those not familiar with Atrahasis and P81's work from a while back (2002), here is the ship charts for the Federation ships from the D2 Model Pckage...
