UE Add ship model problem

Post by detroit69 »

I an new to modding the game and have been using the UE. When i go to add a ship, i am following the guide for adding ships. I have the phasers and scale set up to equal the ship i am putting in but i cannot import the ship into the unused slot. i am using the ship pack 2 trying to put the nova class VR1 ship using the miranda class phasers. Has any one come across this problem before?

Hi detroit69,

first, phasers can not be changed

next, most vanilla ships (unmodded) can not share ship slot with any ship. So you may need to replace miranda class before it can be shared with nova.

I keep trying to add ships to a mod I'm playing around with and no matter what i use i get a message of no phaser data found. What an i missing? I'm trying to do this in the botf.res and in the trek.exe files and get the same message. Any thoughts?

what model are you having problems with? some very old models were created before we figured out how to add phasers.

And it doesn't seem to matter what ship pack i use. I've tried the Excalibur class final, imperial star destroyer (i was going to make them a minor race or something) and now i just tried the prevaricate runabout. All the same results.

those do not sound like birth of the federation ship packs

could you provide links to the downloads you are using?

I think you may have solved my problem. Lol those were listed under "3ds" federation ship packs, and star wars obviously. Trying a different one from the ue list

Yup, works now. Now i just have to figure out the fine points of making it work the way i want. For whatever reason, the files I'm playing with (the galaxy mod, using it to see how things work together and whatnot) i see duplicates of ships in the game, it won't let me import new models, but it will let me replace models with matching data once i rename them (odd way puff working but it does) I'll just have to sit and re read the tutorial again.
