Fighter Bays in player ships

Draxis · #1 October 7th, 2006, 10:51 AM

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

Psientist and I both tried figuring it out on the B5 mod. I gave up awhile back and it seems he has, too. Neither one of us could figure out what was wrong/missing. So many times I thought I had it figured out only to prove myself wrong.

What I will try next (if one of you has not alreasy done so) on the B5 mod is create two new ships for the Narn race, a copy of the Fighter and the Carrier-type. These should not be parts of the fleets, this should be the the G'Quan Cruiser that allies with the player, and the fighters those supposed to launch from it. I have noticed in other mods that all allyable ships are special copies (without flags) of a fleet-type ship.
Can anyone confirm or disprove this?
