I put all of my BC mods into the BC folder like directed, I start the game, none of the mods are on there. Also there is no mod launcher or plugin. What am I missing?

Mods installed: Borg Megalith
Undine Cruiser
Borg Torpedo

if you havent already done this you need the STBC1.1 patch, BCUT's foundation installer, and BOcoregold(if you want to add extra bridges...) if you have, then id try reinstalling BC, doing these steps, re download ur mods and try them again.....

Do not do what flarespire said. Rather only do what he said that I'm going to tell you as well.

Question 1: Have you patched your game?
If not: Download the 1.1 patch here
If so:

Question 2: Have you installed Foundation onto your BC install?
If not: Download BCUT here and install it to your game.
If so:

Question 3: Did your ships come with plugins? (They will have a scripts/Custom/Ships folder with YourShip.py)
If not: Download BCUT (link above) and create a plugin for your ship.
If so: You should not have a problem at this point. A console report will be needed. (There is a sticky on how to get one.)

oops,

i forgot the links, well thanks kirk for getting those up even though i was just about too....
anyways if you have done these and they still cause issues do as kirk said, it will help out alot.

A good bet might also be the Kobayashi Maru mod package. It comes with many other ships, mods, systems, etc. It greatly enhances the gameplay over the stock game.

Guys, don't recommend extra things here. Let's fix the problem, then you can suggest away in another thread.

ruger392 · « **Reply #6 on:** August 21, 2010, 03:15:24 PM »

Thanks, Kirk, but exactly where do I install the patch to? For some danged reason it never says in the ReadMe where to put it. In Activision, or put it in the BC root directory.

:SWvST:

Thx pat

BC folder

I installed the patch, started up BC, and the mods weren't there in Quick Battle selection like they're supposed to be... And do they work in the "-TestMode" (Cheat) mode? Notes of Question:

Do I have to extract the contents of the folder?

Do I have to reinstall BC?

Do I have to get my cat off the top of my monitor? :uberlol:

Yes I do. Matter of fact she sleeps on it.

flarespire · « **Reply #11 on:** August 21, 2010, 05:29:02 PM »

you have to install both the STBC 1.1 patch, foundation from BCUT and(for bridges) BPcoregold once all of them are installed to the BC root directory, run BC and goto configure, there should be a fifth button called mutators, enable extra ships and mods once you have installed your mods, then go back to the mutators menu and enable theyre mutators and then go into quickbattle, you should then see that you can now use the extra ships, bridges and functions, i hope this explains it, let us know if you need any more help k?

Thx Nebula.

Nebula · « **Reply #13 on:** August 21, 2010, 07:47:04 PM »

after you install BCUT you have to run BCUT and install foundation

ruger392 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 21, 2010, 08:21:54 PM »

When I downloaded BCUT's foundation, enabled Extra Ships, went to do Quick Battle where I -THOUGHT!- I could battle with my new and improved ships. For some reason, it skipped the dialouge, when I pressed Quick Battle Setup, THERE WASN"T ANYTHING THERE! Somebody PLEASE help me on getting my STBC game back to normal. PLEASE!!!!

:wtf

Nebula · « **Reply #15 on:** August 21, 2010, 08:26:36 PM »

alright... here I have a question... what Operating system do you have.

if it is vista or win 7 then you need to install BC outside of the programfiles directory to some place like C:\Games
to avoid issues with file protection that could screw up BC.

ruger392 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 21, 2010, 10:48:48 PM »

Operating system: Windows XP.

I have fixed the problem by disabling Extra Ships/Mods, but I still can't get the dialogue and the Paramount/Activision intro's back.

Kirk · « **Reply #17 on:** August 21, 2010, 10:54:08 PM »

Sorry ruger, my wording was a bit poor on that second step.

Kirk · « **Reply #18 on:** August 21, 2010, 10:58:16 PM »

Alright, so from what I understand you've already patched the game, installed foundation, and enabled the "Extra Ships/Mods" mutator. This is all good. Have you activated all of the mutators? Most importantly "Stock Ships" and "Stock Systems." Also, in addition to the patch and foundation, what else have you installed.

Based on your OS, you should not have any problems modding the game if you have installed it into its default directory. (C:/Program Files/....)

Please stop spamming emotes.

King Class Scout · « **Reply #19 on:** August 22, 2010, 09:35:42 AM »

almost all the intro movies get kicked the second you modify with some bits. NanoFX will boot the stock movies. so don't panic over THAT.
