modding not possible

[ZeeForge]

Add ons like the Save/Load enabler (which are not odf's and , I know are partly unrelated) isn't registering in the in-game menu.

I just tryed to regenerate the pak file, it regenerated but the installed mods (for instance the NX-High quality re-texture which should be evident) still was not present when running the game.

So rename db.pak to db.old or something else and then Legacy will read the ODF files directly for game info.

worked i can mod now

Yeah... I would decide against modding the original files... but it's your game... as long as you make backups and know what you're doing...

Looks like BC will be around for another 5 years...

Heres the question...will the producer of the game allow for modification?

What you have to do is create a copy of that ship then modify the stats so if you wanted a uber nx call it Uber_NX_Class.odf as your odf file and go and make copies of .m3d and .dds textures don't say no modding before you know for certain there isn't.

Also the Models can not be inserted into the game as mac doc or bethsoft have not released modding tools such as an m3d exporter we will have to wait and see if they do.

Yea I noticed that.

I HAVE been able to make some tweeks to ships weapons. I think they're a bit more balanced. But 1 just crashes the game now .


I also imported a sound fild and REALLY messed things up, but it was still really funny to hear it in action.:lol:


But yea, so I've restored all my backups and are re-re-making all the weapon tweeks I did. *about 4 in total*


Also, for future reference. Dont try to make a Nuke Torpedo... Just trust me on this... :lol:

[aaron_himler]

Well... I've modded the entire game and called it Temperal Incursion... I basically made all of the ships available at all times of the campaign... all ships have advanced weapons... and I've changed a few missions so that different ships have shown up.
