I´m wordless...

My new invention: armed City class freighter (and someone told me that the spaceframe is NOT suitable for mounting weapons:) ):

As you see the missile launcher got to the root null.

You see the rocket coming out near the dockport.

The missile launchers are where they should be. I think that it applies to the dock-on-armament too (never tested out, though, just the D-O-A I used on the freighter got to the root null too).Has ANYONE got a good explanation for it (other than that my comp has gone bananas)[?][?][?]

The pics aren't showing so I would have to guess at what you're try to point out. Is it in reference to the null positions?

The city class freighter doesn't have any hardpoints. It only has a dockport_main, 2 drive nulls and a crew null. Any weapons you mount will revert to the root null if you specify a null that isn't named in the setup scene.


Here's the one used in the Epic Online multiplayer trade Games

and an earlier version with a different turret

The missile launchers on it are placed on the dockport_main null, which puts them up front

You can also pilot an armed version of the venice class freighter in the Epic Online Multiplayer mod.

Since I can't load the pics of the Heavy corvette, I can't say much about that except maybe there is a path problem:
The game has 2 heavy_corvette.lws files in it. one in the player folder and one in the folder common_setups. As far as I can tell, all the different heavy_corvette .ini files use the same path: name=lws:/ships/common_setups/heavy_corvette

The .lws in the player folder isn't used anywhere apparently, so if you extracted it and didn't change the path ...

Vladimir, your image addresses in the HTML code, point to your C drive.

I wrote all the encyclopedia entries for the ships, and yes the space-frame is not rated for weapons, but some illegal workshops have modified the space-frame to accept weapon mounts. Unfortunately this invalidates the manufacturer's warranty, and can cause maneuverability problems.

Damn! Those pics are really screwed up, when I´m looking with Opera. Anyways, when looking with IE they show up. Try to send them in again and see what happens.

OK, the first one has corrupted colours but it´s still better than nothing:

Adding the freighter´s NEW setup with some new nulls I added with notepad to resource.zip didn´t change anything.

Steve, sometimes you use a very admirable "diplomatic" choice of words. I can almost hear some of your thoughts while doing the encylcopedia:

Oops, Darn! They forgot to put mount points on this model design!
Hmmm... Ahhh! "Space-frame is not rated for weapons"


Not to mention, that the darn thing is just plain too ugly to be a warship
But it is a great model [^]
