Title: Problems with race creation
Post by: Vbeserk on December 11, 2010, 01:07:59 PM
I have the KM 1.0 and i have made a new race i hyave followed the tutorial and it have made the plugins but when i have entered the game and went to the quick battle part my race wasn't there neither in the lists around the game or in the ship selection list and i thought that was the same problem as the race called tholians it show on the files of the game that have this race but it doesn't appear in the game and now i'm in a tunnel without exit because i don't know how to install this thing inside the game and i'm here asking for help :help:.

Note:I have made the race with the race creator that comes with the KM mod as extra in the galaxy charts part and I have all the stuff that BC uses like BCUT, BCMP, BCMI :readme: and i don't  :nono: have the experience with Python files :hithead: so please make a step by step help :thumbsup: or i will be in trouble  :idk:.

Why do you have BCMP and BCMI when you have BCUT aswell which obviously is those two programs combined and more(and bug free)?

As for your main issue you would be best off posting this in the Galaxy Charts section on the bcs-tng forum.

lol i referred him to to here when he posted at filefront forum originally  :P
i dont think it is a Galaxy Charts problem, but i am a little confused as to the exact problem that is happening...

Vbeserk - do you mean to say that you are trying to get a ship to show up in the QB menu list?

ok that has to do with a ship's plugin...

as mentioned earlier, get rid of BCMP and BCMI - they are old, outdated and buggy...
get Bridge Commander Universal Tool (http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/Bridge_Commander_Universal_Tool;115745) instead...  it does everything BCMP and BCMI did and a whole lot more...

when BCUT is installed, there are instructions on adding a ship to the QB menu list, at which time you can put in any name for the race of the ship...

oh and if you are making those plugins... be sure to know where they are saving. You may have to move them to scripts/custom/ships in the BC directory.

Ohh so i have to add the ships via the BCUT, i fought that it was automatic because in the race creator had a space to put the ships that i want.I wanted to ask something before i forget but how do i change the opening movie in the BC?

Dude, get rid of BCMI and BCMP, they are old, outdated, and destroy your install if you're not careful.
