Fighter Bays in player ships

[GuyFlash]

Hey Everyone

I'm dabbling in modding WW a bit. Fun stuff, but anyway...

I'm trying to make a carrier type ship that the player can use as their ship. I tried just adding the Garthan Light Carrier as a ship you can select to start with. Seemed to work... I could select and play as the Garthan Light Carrier. I could even see the fighter bay on the ship (place holder icon). However, when I went into battle, no fighters came out. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Much thanks,
Nick

For fighter bays to activate you must order your carrier to target a hostile ship. I have this working on a mod I was playing with some months ago, dont know if I had to change anything else though.

Haven't gotten it to work, either. And yes, we were targeting. Just didn't work.

Hi ImUrOBGYN,

seems that we are both working on the same problem(s), so why not help each other? I have experienced the same problems you mention, when trying to fix that bug on the B5 Mod, but also on an own Tan Ru carrier-type-thing (basically I am trying to create a mod which seamlessly fits into WW, style wise like "Added Content" and "Weirder Worlds" which I like very much).
But there must be a solution to this problem, the guy who did the "Battlestar" mod has the fighterbays spitting loads of crafts. Unfortunately I have not yet found a difference in the code, but perhaps you are more into it than me.

Also I am trying to get the "ovadestroy" quest from "Weirder Worlds" to work, just for practice reasons.

I have fighterbays launching Alkari Fighters for my Alkari Carriers in the simulator, not tried putting one in as a starting ship though. Can probably find the changes I had to make to get it working if you like

I've been able to launch fighters with no problem now. Just need to target an enemy (a bit of a pain), but it works. Thanks Daxis
