Title: SP Campaign Help
Post by: centurion on June 25, 2010, 05:16:04

Hello, Every so many years i feel the need to dust off my copy of Nexus,

now i started changing the single player part, like making my own guns and stuff adding them to each mission, changing ship mesh's and slots etc all that good stuff.

the one thing i cant seem to do is create a new ship and get it to work in SP mode, I did the  tactictypes shiptype shipclass, then made entries in shipclass.ini shiptypes.ini

Example made new ship for like mission 1 replaced the Stiletto id in player_fleet.sobj with the id of my new ship, and that seems to work start the game and ship is there and working until end of mission when i try to access the ship config screen "CRASH" DX9 error something, im missing something somewhere and cant seem to find it, im thinking that i need to un .dat
ofter nexus files other than nexus_00.dat and dap or are the ships hard coded or something.

Little direction would be great if anyone can help....... Thanks you


edit P.S Love the Skirmisher the cinema mode is great love watching  my ships fight  :)

Hi Centurion, welcome to the community.

Have you added a .tex file of your new ship to Textures/GUI/Fleet/ShipIcons folder? It needs to have the exact name as your new ship class. This file is the 'map' of the ship that you see when you change the ships config.

Unfortunately, I don't yet know what goes into creating brand new ones as I've only hijacked the existing Angelwing ship.

ahhh Thank You so much this has been making me crazy every ship i add works fine right up to the point i enter the ship config screen i knew i was missing some thing,

now this tex file is just naming it after the the ship class enough or is there some other linking needed


and thank you for the prompt response, been sitting here looking through every file for some typo i might have done lol hours wasted :thumbup:


 :thumbsup: UPDATE: That was it omg all that time lost for one tex file, config screen all working now, Thanks again now i can goto sleep :)
