What's in the pack?

---------------------------

11 ships in the pack comprising of these vessels;

COYOTE

CRUSADER

GRENDAL - also with custom turret model

MIRAGE

NAGINATA

PATRIOT

PHOENIX

PREDATOR

REAPER - also with custom turret model

TEMPEST - also with custom turret model

WOLVERINE - also with custom turret model

All the textures have been extracted from Starlancer, upscaled to 1024x1024 dds textures. Some of the ships have separate turret models so you can make the turrets turn like a normal turret does in Freelancer. These will have to have custom weapons assigned to them and added to the loadout

All ships come with custom sur files and custom icons

-------------------------------------------------

This pack is free to use by anyone and is supplied as is. You will need to make your own ship ini and cockpit ini files to be able to use these models in Freelancer

If any parts of this pack are used in a to be released mod, please don't forget to credit me

Any issues, talk to the Gibbon on the Starport Discord server or leave a message

Fuck modding, real life always comes first. Organise that and the rest will follow

Both is the short answer, and development continues. Just added in drag modifiers to nebulas so as to vary the speed of ships for example

Latest version is Genesis_1.5_OSP_2022.14.zip released 04/01/23

The only tool i know that shows you all the bodies and heads is FLCedit, version 0.81. Not a dfm reader as such, but does show all the different costumes etc. In the downloads section

This program allows you to change the appearance of many of the characters in Freelancer. Utility allows you to create custom characters using default clothing and heads. GUI interface, doesn't get any simpler

March next year. The idea is to simply play the game, showing off features of the mod

New version 1.5 for singe player released. Link in original post

Yes they do. I had the licence mounted at the time and they still scanned me

Turns out this works. You can have the factions scan for equipment as well. I have these player licences defined as shields as i mentioned before, and also in st_goods.ini as i have them defined there so you can purchase them so you can mount them on a unique hardpoint to display your licence. Who knew?

I'll give that a go and report back. Thanks for the tip

As the title suggests, i'm trying to get the npc's to scan for something else, other than commodities.

I want them to scan for a shield in particular. So in faction_prop.ini where all this takes place, can i add a line, something along these lines?

scan_for_cargo = commodity_alien_artifacts, 1

and add a new line like this one,

scan_for_cargo = shield02_mark06_lf, 1

Bear in mind it's been years since i did any modding, but i'm releasing a new version of my Genesis mod with loads of fixes and wanted to add something to be scanned that i left in the multiplayer version. I created some faction licences as shields so you could mount them on you ship and want the various factions to scan for them in the OSP version.

Glad you enjoyed it. I did base it on the series up to the end of series 3 as series 4 hadn't come out at the time. Not much i could have incorporated from season 4 anyway

Have you considered doing an updated Coalition paint job for this ship?

Accidentally deleted the original package. Doh. Uploaded a new version of the ship pack with a revised README, and updated links which were well out of date. The models i've left untouched, apart from forgot to mention there is a Coriolis Space station included as well, all with a working custom sur file

What's all this about then i hear you ask?

Well it's my way of remembering one of the classic games of yesteryear that started the whole 3D space trading genre back in 1984 to be exact, the all time classic, 'ELITE' by Ian Bell and David Braben. With the 25th anniversary of this ground breaking game, seemed appropriate to do something for the Freelancer community and so this ship pack has been created.

These ship designs obviously come from the original game, but have been completely remodelled and retextured by Griff, a serious master of the art. With his permission, i've converted them to Freelancer format for modellers to use in their own mods, so no need to ask us permission, just carry on and add them in. All we ask is that you include this README file in any versions of your mods that you release and that you credit the both of us for all our hard work in getting them to you.

The models used in this ship pack are from a game called 'Oolite', a remake of 'ELITE' which is fully expandable with various addons including ships, stations, missions etc. This is where i encountered Griff and his models.

Also includes a fully working Coriolis Space Station with custom sur file

The 'Sai' is from a Starlancer ship pack that Samurai Studios released years ago. I've taken the model and ripped it apart, going from 2 groups to 8, reorganised the grouping and exported as a multiple component CMP, the 3DBs were built using the separate parts of the ship. The SUR was created from a low poly version of the main model and exported like the CMP as a multiple component SUR.

The whole thing was done with milkshape, the plug-ins and HardCmp to orientate a couple of hardpoints.

Feel free to 'borrow' the model files as that's what they're here for just credit me for the conversion, 3DBs and SUR.

****** 2022 JANUARY UPDATE ******

Found this on my hd while i was clearing out some old files. Bejaymac made this file years ago, but this shows off his skills by making this ship have destructible parts. Looks and works awesome in game - Gibbon

My mod was taken down by ModDB due to copyright infringement from the owners of Battlestar Galactica. There are now no mods on ModDB featuring any subject matter from Battlestar Galactica whatsoever. Thankfully there are other ways to get hold of my mod, most notably through my forum, for those interested

Here's a copy of the one i received from 'Katrina', minus the web address
