McCoy's Connie refit USS Enterprise replaces the TCMP's TOS USS Enterprise.

allright guys, I have an issue, I have both listed ships McCoy's Connie refit, and the TCMP, now here's my problem.. the Refit Connie USS Enterprise replaces the TOS USS Enterprise.. my question is.. is there any way to resolve this?

usually this means there is 2 plug-ins in the same menu (Federation ships) under the same name (USS Enterprise?) just edit plugins in BCUT, but don't use BCMI or BCMP those are outdated

sadly. I don't know how to use BCUT.. and when I tried to use it last time.. it was fustrating, wouldn't renaming the key files help any? i.e. the TOS Enterprise could retain the name USS Enterprise while the TMP version has "refit" added to the name?

plus tried to DL BCUT 1.6.. and it says the file is corrupt

the problem is in the py plugin file itself, I will work on a tutorial for BCUT, but you use the plugin creator, select the ship file and fill in other fields then hit generate

Damn there are way too much of those Connies  ... ok, all you need to do is edit the plugin (Scripts/Custom/Ships/[plugin.py]), edit it with notepad and find a line named 'long name' or something with long name in it, then add 'refit' to it, you're good to go from this point ;) I would fix it but I just got back from holidays just to prepare myself for another trip

I am well aware of the problems with colliding ship names, infact many ship packs have similiar problem because there's simply too much ships that were given the very same name, the best way to avoid it is to add stuff like nick name or name initials infront of each ship name... too bad I didn't add them in this pack

The one on filefront isnt even the latest version. Try it at its home site at BCS-TNG. http://www.bcs-tng.com/portal/?q=bcsmc

And also learning BCUT is about as easy as it gets since everything you need to know to use it is included.

well, i installed the Refit connies first, (something I have not done before) and it's fine.. however.. the kelvin pack messed it all up so I'll do that, thank you guys
