Re: Missing Graphics

Is there anyway to fix this in 1920x1080 Res? yes but would take time and would increase install size by almost 3 times current. and what mod would you suggest for a beginner. impossible to answer without knowing what type of game you want to play. from top 10 original style with ECM being most dif...

Re: Missing Graphics

that is normal for 1920 x 1080, 1080 is a generic GUI due to image sizes.

Re: Missing Graphics

The thing is it worked (at 1920 x 1080 resolution) If 1920 x 1080 worked did you check #3 3. check "How to check if resolution is supported by BOTF" this mainly applies if 1366 x 768 was installed. https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?p=53092#p53092 your image is restricte...

Re: Beta testing of new BOTF installers

Yes, I think ECM is good to go. :wink: I am confident to get the remaining savegame editing issues fixed next weekend. I will add final patch to ECM and MUM and mods should be good to go. :wink: I still need to create updated installer info for download pages and see if I need to update MUM readme ...

Re: Adding structures and ships to 1024 or 1366 or 1920

all tga images in BOTF must be 16bit tga's
most image editors do not save in this format, so you must use UE to save file as 16 bit tga

How to place scar1.hob on hull

Hi Everyone, placement is done all in creator 3.0, since many do not have this software I am only going cover the basic placement. 1. placement area must be flat or you will get display issues as view point goes past scar1.hob 2. all matrix adjustments are calculated from center of scar1.hob, not ce...

Re: damage textures again

new model posted, and will start new how to topic later. but from what I found placement will be limited to flat face areas, due to scar1.hob will not bend for angles. Off topic.. I found this looking at using switches. just think if developers would have had more time... They might have added "dead...

Dafedz drops by from time to time, but he just updated his mod to Ultimate Mod 5 v5.5 link to Ultimate M...

Re: damage textures again

Thanks, while I see this as a victory, everything still is far from known. My example model all damage spots added were parallel to X and Y vectors this make rotation very simple. from all my test the scar1.hob with no matrix changes will always display with face forward (X - 0.0, Y - 0.0 and Z - 0....
