Using the UE to add ships to Ultimate Mod 5

[Starbucking]

Im quite new to this and I thought I had followed the guide but im still having problems. Im attempting to add the Vesta, Centaur, Peregrine and Intrepid models to Ultimate Mod 5 following the guide posted. My scale and phaser slots are correct, my new ship classes are all unique and use the correct models. yet when I go ingame whenever my cursor goes near one of the new ships in the build que my entire game crashes. Did I miss something?

So im 99% sure my problem revolves around the importing of the models. I went to go make a new Ship "Class" using a .tga already inside the mod and had no issues.

UE/shippack do not support new resolutions.

UE/shippack do not support new resolutions.

So I took a look at that form and am a bit confused.

Do I need to resize all of those .tgas or only 1 of them.

depends on the resolution you have installed.

Each resolution has different needs, example

1366 x 768 new images that are required for ships
(all mods except UM5)
i_***270.tga new image size 270 x 225 (*** must match prefix of new ship)
(UM5 only)
i_***_b.tga new image size 270 x 225 (*** must match prefix of new ship)

Apologies but Im new at this,

i_***_c.tga new image size 509 x 425 (*** must match prefix of new ship)

would be for the largest resolution right?

[thunderchero]

if you have 1920 x 1080 installed, yes

just extract largest image (i_***170.tga) and increase size to 509 x 425 rename and save as jpg

Use UE to convert to proper 16-bit tga and add to stbof.res

Should look like this right? is the double underscore correct?

[thunderchero]

for centaur yes it would use i_zz__c.tga

Sooo I followed the steps above and tossed the .tgas in the right place. Now the game wont even launch without crashing. I tried launching UDML which isnt modified and same issues

[thunderchero]

is there a crash.log?

[Starbucking]

Yes but its completely blank.

did you try running game before you started editing ships?

Note after making ship changes you must start a new game.

Yes. I just created a random new game to test. Made the changes and then tried to test

[thunderchero]

all I can say is if you made backup files start over and try again.

I suggest starting with a simple replacement. example replace vanilla galaxy with better looking version.
