Third SE5 Shipset: Star Trek TMP

Fyron · #1 December 31st, 2006, 05:18 AM

Necromancer3 has posted the 3rd released shipset for SE5. The set is a Star Trek Federation set based on the motion picture (Kirk et all) era.

One of these days it would be very nice to see an original set and not one ported from another game. But for now, EXCELLENT.

Is it ported? Obviously the race portrait is from SFB 2. Nice ships, I shall convert them to Terran Empire forthwith.

I give you the Terran warship Enterprise.

I also found out the skins are reversed for some reason when you put them on a ship.

Are any of these three shipsets compatible with the balance mod?

Shipsets and mods are independent.
Just put it in and play.

How did you do that; just rename? I am off to convert these for the Republic. If anyone is interested in reading the historical write up it is in the After Action Reports Sub-Forum.

I imagine it would involve renaming, retexturing, and possibly some flavour text.

You misunderstand SJ; I am not looking to convert it into a copy-cat ship set. I am trying to change the pics my current in progress game is using. Right now I have renamed everything that started with "Fed" to "Abbidon" and all the pictures seem to work right. Is there any others I need to change the name of? What about the files that start with "terran", "HUM", and "ff1". I don't see a counter part for those in the original Abbidon folder and I am reluctant to change anything I don't need to.

At the time I just meant to edit the skins and create another folder for Terran empire ships, turned out to be harder than I thought. Rather than rename every ship I tried to change/remove the original folder but it kept insisting that the folder was in use and wouldn't allow it. I had to restart my computer just to rename the folder.

I haven't done anything about it but I was going to replace the ships I already use in one game so they would change in game. The terran skins are for the ships. They don't really need to be called fed as long as the x-files know what images to use. Interesting that each ship uses multiple skins, probably because they are so complicated.As for the frigate being so dark, well all you need to do is edit the picture or skin and change the brightness. I was thinking of making the hulls darker anyway, but I just did the cruiser to test, thus discovering that the text was reversed. For my screenshot it was easier to mirror the picture. It would be slightly more difficult to reverse the skin as there is a orange square in one corner.
