Title: Torpedo Replacement
Post by: AKAMrWraith on April 21, 2011, 09:13:44 PM

Hey all, was wondering if some one could tell me how i could change the torpedos on my CG Sovereign to torpedos from basically all my other Fed ships.
I am running Kobayashi Maru 1.0. I really only know how to install an entire mod but not how to change smaller things like this  :hithead: help would be greatly appriciated  :dance

Thank you

well, you could do it by copying and replacing the torpedo files, IIRC, the ones for the CG are CGphotorp.py and CGquantum.py in your scripts/tactical/projectiles folder, but that isn't really the best solution, since you are completely replacing the files.  However, BCUT allows you to change the file which the Sovereign calls for when you fire the torpedoes.  It is quite easy to use, and there is a tutorial.  For more complex changes, you can also use Model Property Editor, which is a tool in the SDK that allows you to edit any attribute of a ship's hardpoint.

After you install BCUT, just go into scripts/ships/hardpoints in you BC root folder, once there just load up the PY file. IF you have a PYC and a PY, delete the PYC, but if you only have the PYC, it gets more complicated, and there is a tutorial on how to load them into MPE and save them as PY files.

YES figured it out!  :yay: needed to copy the original .py file from the src folder to scripts but now i am stuck again.. haha dont know what to do to change the torpedos to what ever the torpedos used by every other fed ship in the game. I am guessing i need to find what ever the file is for those torps and paste it in the the boxes labeled torpedo script 1,2,3,4?

thank you again guys

find the file name, the torps for all KM feds are different so it doesn't really matter
