Hi, iv'e added a simple new race in diplomacy 1.1 (a copy of the vasari) and only changed the name and the portraits. The name ingame is good, the race is selectable but the images are blank, it's just plain white. Everything seems fine. Iv'e did the exact same way in entrenchement and it shows perfectly but in diplomacy it doesn't...... After some testing, i've come to the conclusin that diplomacy does NOT support any new custom portraits texture file. No

Can someone give me a proper link for the 2.5? i have no clue where to download it even on the website.

Thx :) Also i have one last question. It doesn't have to do with the topic though but i don't want to start a whole thread for one simple question. What is the name of the texture files for the ingame hud interface? you know the metallic hud and not the buttons

I copied the same lines as the fighter but this time with the bomber and it works well. Thanks :) and to change the damage, i have to edit those lines right? DamagePerBank:FRONT 66.000000 DamagePerBank:BACK 0.000000 DamagePerBank:LEFT 0.000000 DamagePerBank:RIGHT 0.000000

that's probably it. What file should i edit for that? Edit: i downloaded the file that you attached and it's working xD what lines did you change?

As long as it have more defences and most importantly starbases, that's good for me :D yeah that's what i' doing :) i tried to change the fighters weapons but when i test them ingame. They are unarmed like if they don't have weapons anymore. They juste go next to the enemy and fly next to them and that's all. I edited the .entity files of the fighter itself: TXT entityType "Fighter" defaultAutoAttackRange "GravityWell" defaultAutoAttackOn TRU

nah just for entrenchement. It's the only expension that have all the mods i like :p

Is there a way to change the weapon types of fighters and capital ships? I want to replace the phase missiles of vasari squads with the blue lasers of the advent squads. And then changing their damage. Same thing with capital ships

So can someone tell me what's the problem with the model? EDIT: Yep it was the tagent map. I added one like the tutorials said and it works pretty well. But now y model is a little too dark XD The light from the star doesn't seem to light up the thing. How can i edit the tangent map so that there can be more light on it?

Hi i've managed to import a custom model ingame with the textures without any errors. But the shadows seems to be odd: [IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c344/Joebenz/006.jpg[/IMG] Does this have to do with the tangent map? it's something i skipped in softimage because i don't know what a tangent map is. Can someone tell me what is a tangent map? and how can i fix the shadows?

I took care of that it is working well. It's the same system as the large portraits except that they are smaller.

I'll ask harry potter to lend me his wand :P

Well i just want to import my models from 3ds max into the game itself. It is already textured. what are the steps to do that?

I redownloaded the mods and it now works perfect. I don't know why had this problem. Maybe i didn't correctly installed the patch. Anyway that's history now ;)

Purple saturn day and downloaded maps (indies war maps). I don't know if it's something in my comp or in my version of the mod. I'll redownload the mod and see if they work

i've got a problem. When i play some maps with the entrenchement version of the mod (1.05 with the 0.9951 patch) some maps seem to crash. It's not a minidump problem but i directly get a screen saying YOU HAVE BEEN DEFEATED or something like that. I then click continue and half of the planets aren't there. I think that the mod doesn't load the new planets like the Terra, Saturn, Mars, Toxic etc... i don't know why. Can someone help?

Everything now works well with the portraits. Well the player portrait selection window is still the same (the 3 races) but i'll leave it like that. What i don't understand now is about importing custom models in the game. I don't understand the whole thing about XSI , non tris and non quads etc... i already have the models textured in 3ds max.

I'll be checking that later since i got another problem. The player setup window is perfect but when i'm in a new game, the portraits are completly off. i tried everything but didn't fixed. I think i now know why some mods with new races didn't bother making the player setup window. I think i'll put it back to 3races selection and just make a new "player_portrait_large", a copy of the original one and just add another row and see how it looks. i think i'll just leave t

Yeah i removed that thing you mentioned :) i fixed it. I just had to change the resolution of the backdropfrontend and put it to 1024 without scaling the image itself putting it on the top left and doing the same for the alpha channel.so i didn't have to change the coordinates :D [IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c344/Joebenz/003.jpg[/IMG] now i need to take care of the med and small pictures but there doesn't seem to be a tutorial about thi

Thanks for the link, i managed to fix the problem :) but now there is that half window peeking in down there: [IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c344/Joebenz/002.jpg[/IMG] i can live with it but it's still a little disturbing seeing things that are not supposed to be there :)

Thanks guys! i've deleted the playerrace1.entity and playerrace2.entity (since i lonly want one race, i kept the race3) So now there is only 4races with is what i wanted. But i go player setup, it's a little bit messed up: [IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c344/Joebenz/001.jpg[/IMG] i managed to replace my custom pics with the race3 ones in the "Races_Player_Portrait_Large_0002.dds" but i don't know what file i should edit to fix this.

Hi, i've just started to learn how to mod and reading the tutorials in here. However there are alot of things that doesn't seem to be explained here. i'm confused and things seems to be scattered and some tutorials leads to a "file not found" link. So i'm gonna post all my questions in here and hope someone can awnser me and give me proper working links. What i want to do is add one race with new ships, new particles for the weapons, new weapons
