Title: Certain ships don't show up
Post by: Psyco Diver on August 23, 2009, 11:38:53 PM: I'm having trouble with some ships, namely the Freedom class and Zahl (voy year of hell), I have others but I DLed them a while back and forgot which ones they were. Anyways the issue I'm having is that I install them like every other ship (extract to new folder, and move files to the right folders in BC) and they don't show up in game at all, not it the selection or anywhere what am I doing wrong

Run BCUT
Say yes to autoconfigure prompt
On Basic BCSMC under Ship filename locate your ship and select it
Press generate plugin

Post by: teleguy on September 18, 2009, 06:49:20 PM: Go to options and check if your Bridge Commander folder is selected. If it isn't click on "Automatic".
Then in BCSMC click on the dropdown button to the right of Ship Filename, locate the ship (don't just type in a name) and generate the plugin.

In case that doesn't work please post links to the ships you want to install.

The plugins are created in the scripts/custom folder in the BCUT directory. You have to move the new plugin into the scripts/custom folder in the bc directory.

If he selects his Bridge Commander folder like I suggested the plugins would be created in Bridge Commander\scripts\custom\ships and he would not have to move them every time.

Alot more convenient, isn't it?
