How many beta testers will you have this time around?

probably 5

also, does anyone know how to manually do ship descriptions?

In the ship plugin, it's the desc attribute of a ship plugin (in the form of: Foundation.ShipDef.<<YourShip>>.desc = "Your Description").
Use \n for line endings.

I've tried the ASDW, and it didn't work.

MLEO--> I've done that but nothing shows up. hmm.

Anyone know why it's not working? I've attached the plugin file for the enterprise.

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #243 on:** October 11, 2008, 05:43:57 PM »

you have the description line commented out...
# Foundation.ShipDef.DJEnterprise.desc = "USS Enterprise\n"

i would be happy to help with the descriptions if you cant get the program Sovvy made to work for ya... when you get to that point, lemme know and if you have something written up for the descriptions (and the plugins), i can get them all set up for ya

MLeo · « **Reply #244 on:** October 11, 2008, 05:47:33 PM »

And it needs to be below the Foundation.ShipDef.DJEnterprise = part!

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #245 on:** October 11, 2008, 05:53:43 PM »

hey guys, I've tried a few different configurations of the script lines, and uncommented stuff, and I'm just getting the BSOD. Would one of you mind configuring it properly so I could see how it's done?

Kirk · « **Reply #246 on:** October 11, 2008, 05:55:11 PM »

Sure, upload the plugin here.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #247 on:** October 11, 2008, 05:57:07 PM »

it is just a few posts up.

Kirk · « **Reply #248 on:** October 11, 2008, 06:02:11 PM »

Ah, thought you might have changed some things. I've also taken the liberty of cleaning out some things that aren't used and just add to the file size. (Gotta cut all of those extra bytes out for the 56 k'ers.)

This ought to work, if not, post the console report.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #249 on:** October 11, 2008, 06:19:50 PM »

thanks kirk, that worked great!

Kirk · « **Reply #250 on:** October 11, 2008, 06:21:51 PM »

Glad to be of service.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #251 on:** October 11, 2008, 09:15:39 PM »

Status update: I am currently redoing all the ships' plugin files to clean them up and write descriptions, as well as do up a new menu tree structure.

Barihawk · « **Reply #252 on:** October 11, 2008, 09:21:16 PM »

Are they all set up with shuttles?

Some (like the Galaxy) should be stuffed with fighters while others just smaller shuttles

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #253 on:** October 11, 2008, 09:24:52 PM »

They are.

Aeries · « **Reply #254 on:** October 11, 2008, 09:41:11 PM »

Sweet stuff, dawg. Ye be ballin'!

Okay... I'll stop the slang now.

Well, the pack is about 99% complete now. I have a couple of HP tweaks to make to the season 1 Enterprise, and perhaps a few others here and there to other ships just to give them some distinction, but other than that, this pack is ready to be assembled into a file structure and then zipped up and shipped for beta.

As you can see by the screenshot, all the ship plugins are now complete, though you can't see that they all have descriptions, which they do. Thanks to Kirk for the help. Kirk, while I didn't use your exact modified plugin file, it did inspire me to to a new blank template plugin to redo all the ships. As a result, all the ship plugins are much cleaner, more efficient, and easy to modify. In fact, adding a new ship plugin for any future galaxy class ships is as easy as using the replace function in notepad.

Beta testers will be contacted right away as soon as a DL link is established.

Also, I thought I'd unveil the mod's advertising graphic. Conveniently wallpaper sized for you widescreen folks!

What about the USS Trinculo NCC-71867? Is that canon?

Ryles · « **Reply #257 on:** October 13, 2008, 04:58:23 AM »

Could be: http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/USS_Trinculo

The only thing I wish from this pack is that the USS Odyssey from this pack doesn't get overwritten by the USS Odyssey from the Stargate v3 Ship Pack (downloaded and saved on external harddrive before it was deleted off BCFiles.com) like what always seemed to happen with the SNS Galaxy pack.

Kirk · « **Reply #259 on:** October 13, 2008, 08:14:02 AM »

Looks good, glad you decided to clean up the plugins.
