Topic: pseudo fighter

[Don Karnage]

i try to have PF for the fed using the romulan info but i can't have the model to show during the game, i try them as fighter and its working but there too big for fighter, so is it possible to have PF for the fed?

Look up Rod ONeal's mod, "Fighters and PFs."  SFC made it very difficult.  You actually have to put the same ship in the shiplist twice, once as a Fed, another time as a Gorn, Romulan, or Lyran at the very end.  I'm not sure how it works.  I hope Rod still has his mod available for download.  It is very well done.

Play on Slave Girls 7, all races have fighters AND PFs.

Here's the homepage for it, Don. You'll need to use your gamespy ID to download it from fileplanet. I haven't worked on it since '03. The mod forces the game to do some things it wasn't designed for (like give PFs to the Feds and fighters to the Rommies, for example). Not all of the UIs are totally compatible, but it works as advertised.

It's designed to work with the stock game. If you have any modded specfiles (shiplist, ftrlist, model.siz, shipnames, strings) they'll be overwritten by the mod. BACK THEM UP. The stock gamefiles are safe, if you follow the instructions, because the mod contains backups for them.
Any questions, PM me. It'd be easier to communicate that way.

I know that thanks isn't a typical part of your repertoire, but you might want to thank Tulwar who went to the effort to PM me to get this for you.

I'm working on a personal mode that has Feds and all other races use Interceptors.  Yes, you can give non-PF races PF's, but its a little tricky.  As stated above, to do this you have to have what is called "Donor" races.  Donor races are the ones that are capable of having PF's (like Gorn, Romulan, Lyran, etc).  You create your PF's for the non-PF race first, and then copy the data to a "Donor" race in the shiplist file.  All PF Data must be EXACTLY the same for the Donor race and the race you want to have PF's.  This procedue is used aswell for there Tenders too.  Best way to do this is to use Excell to open up the shiplist file and edit the data directly. 

Most people use other major races for the Donor races, but I use a Pirate slot and load most of the PF's into it.  One drawback to this method however is say for example you have a Fed player choosing a carrier.  When he selects his fighters before gameplay, he can also choose the PF's you installed in the shiplist.  It will only give ya one PF (instead of multiple like a fighter) and it won't show up in the game (unless you program in the Carrier to carry PF's aswell as Fighters too in the Donor spot).

its too much just to add pseudo fightrer, since the fed are not made to have that, well i just add more type of fighter.
