Sovereign001 - back into modding
« on: November 23, 2020, 03:57:39 AM »
Hey Guys,

I'm back and want to start modding the game again. I recovered some of my old files (the planet+shield textures).
For the record, the name is Macrilen now because I forgot my password of the Sovereign001 account (also the email address doesn't exist anymore).

However, I already have some questions... I downloaded kobayashi maru 1.1 and wanted to check some PY files of the ships, but I noticed when I open files in notepad, it's all gibberish (squares etc).. Also, there are no py files anymore ? Can anyone help me ?

Upcoming stuff I had planned:
- New planet textures
- Shield textures
- Remaking my dominion wars mod.

Dominion Wars mod:

8 years ago I completely made this mod with all canon ships. So you didn't saw an Excalibur flying around. This counted for all factions (few ships for Klingons, a few for the Dominion, only one for the Romulans). I redid the planets, the explosion effects, weapon textures,.... Not a single ship had shields, the hull and hardpoints were configured to fly around with holes in it. Just like the show. The moment when the mod was finished, the HDD crashed and I didn't had any back up. Of course, u can understand that I didn't had any power left in me to redo it as I worked almost every night on it between studies. (I started working after this).

Out of nostalgia, I'm gonna start again on it but I need to learn a bit again  :D

Wish me luck guys!

Hey Macrilen/Sovereign001 Welcome back :hi:

If some Ships not have a .py file, check this out :)

Python Decompiler download
Spoiler: show
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ap9ht03sp1wp7k1/Easy%20Python%20Decompiler%20v1.3.2.rar?dl=0

simple in use...

Easy Python Decompiler save the files like "Akira.pyc_dis"
rename it to "Akira.py"
done!


If you need help, you've come to the right place  :Metal:

KM comes with all the source files. Look for the SRC folder.

Baz: space is vast there[sic] legs will be tired by the time they get to the next planet

Thanks for pointing out Jimmy !

Edit: rsc folder has py files but they aren't the ones I need. I'm searching for the py files where I can change shield power, phasers etc.

In attachment you can find back what I'm looking at..

Belated welcome back! I had a glance at the retextures, nice job! SO.. we got a new master server now, we can for sure host games again and see servers from the join menu! Sorry it took as long as it did, but its done now :)

Can't wait to see what we all cook up  :dance
