Any chance that someone here could teach me how to hardpoint?

[Gibbon]

First thing you're going to need is a program called HardCMP available here

eoa.seriouszone.com/colinsanby.php#hardcmp

Next thing you're going to need is a program called FLModelTool available here

eoa.seriouszone.com/anton.php#flmodelresizer

Once you have those you can get started. First thing i'd suggest is to resize the models to something bigger. Examine a standard fighter like an Eagle in FLModelTool and see how big it is, then use the FLModelTool program to resize one of the new ships so its about the same size. Once that's done you can move onto hardpointing it using the HardCMP program.

That's where you add all the hardpoints necessary to use the ship in game. You need to create the following for it all to work, HpMount, HpTractor_Source, HpPilot, then onto engines, thrusters, cm's, mines, weapons etc. Again use a standard FL model and examine it using the HardCMP program and it will give you an idea what to do. Lastly you need to put it in game

thank you!
i will edit some of these models and pass them down to you so you can add them to Phoenix mod =D P.S some for clan ships only =D

[Gibbon]

Well don't worry about that as i already have them since i made the ship pack. These models are going into my other mod, plus i've heavily modified a lot of them already. Some now have rotating turrets etc but thanks for the thought

[charos]

ok

[deborarobed]

Could someone tell me how I integrate these ships into Freelancer?

Thanks,

Debs

Don't know how much you know about modding FL. There are numerous files to amend, i can go into it but it will take a few pages. In the meantime, download this tutorial and let me know your thoughts

Thanks Gibbon. I've never done any modding before but I've downloaded the pdf file. Some nice light bedtime reading!

[Gibbon]

What do you think of it?

[deborarobed]

My head's still buzzing! I'm getting too old for this stuff! I'll leave the modding up to you guys with experience!

[Gibbon]

It's not as hard as i'm making out but there's a lot of trial and error if you're just starting out

Hi Gibbon
I tried to get a hold of the model resizer but your link is down. Also tried another link: www.mediafire.com/?uumzdefmbbz but that just gives tons of useless ads. Is there anywhere else you know of to get the resizer?

Also had a thought there, would it be possible to put together an archive of the most commonly used FL mod tools? If so, could I upload it to the SSC? That way they will be preserved for the community.

[Gibbon]

See the General Modding Board. I've put a list up of the most popular editors and where to get them

Thanks Gibbon, your a total star!
