Topic: Patch's for new races?

[ShadowDiver]

Just a wondering.....

Has anyone come up with new races?

Like the The Tholian Assembly, Andorians or Tellarites...

If they have could some one please point the patch or mod out to me.....


Thanks.

I moved your question here as the other forum is for website feedback and requests.

There are several mods that include such. One of which is my SFB-OP-04 mod. (available on our ftp and on fileplanet)

ftp://ftp.dynaverse.net/sfc2_op/Mods/SFB_OP_04.exe

http://www.fileplanet.com/137323/130000/fileinfo/SFB-OP-Mod-v04

It is old and not currently maintained but should still work. Be aware of running multipl mods (one at a time) or make multiple installs as instructed in several places here.

Search my son search.   And blow stuff up along the way!

Hi Bonk,

Thanks for the info, I downloaded your zip and took a look at the shiplist and thought...wow!  8 major races and 9 orions whats going on here..

orion beast
orion cambro
orion prime
orion orion

then I found this obscure post from 04-02-2006 titled  (Donation and follow up with Bonk) written by Skaren.

showing the correct titles of the orions.
F- Federation
K- Klingon
R- Romulan
Z- Kzinti
L- Lyran
G- Gorn
H- Hydran
I- ISC
C- LDR (Camboro)
A- Andromedan (Prime)
W- WYN (WyldeFire)
X- Orion (Orion)
Y- Tholian/Neo-Tholian (Korgath)
B- BeastRaiders (Juggernaught, Space Dragon)

S- Syndicate (Non-Player Ftr donor)
T- TigerHeart (Non-Player PF donor)

Now I understand a little more than before.. but why didn't you just label them that way in the beginning in column 1?

anyway back to my main question, you made the statement "do not run more than 1 mod at a time" good advice I will learn from.
but will this mod work for EAW? or is it strictly for OP?

when I run your SFB_OP_04 Application what is exactly going to happen and then what do I do with the shiplist?

[Bonk]

It is an OP shiplist. The racenames used in column one are hardcoded in the game. But you can put other races ships and tech in them. It goes deeper than this. (PF, fighter donation) - race slots are described in the installer text. Also on the fileplanet page and in the original posts here.

What exactly does it do? Um where's the nsis installer script code here... I'm sure I've posted it here before.

Ah, I can't be bothered digging for it. I'm going to rebuild EAW. SFB-OP is just not on my mind right now. It extracts a bunch o models to the models foder that are referenced by tis shiplist and fighterlist it backs up your existitins shiplsits from all client locations, puts the moddes shiplists in... does some other stuff it check folders, mkkes registry entries, add uninstll shortcuts... typical installer stuff.

Adapting it to EAW would be an effort.

Great thanks...

I will leave you alone for awhile
