Hi, just thought i'd show a picture of the Shadow Battle Crab with fighters in game.
Thanks to TobiWahn, over at the Babylon 5 mod who sent it to me.
Ive managed to give them shadow beams:
You really don't want to come across them, ive been watching the Babylon 5 shows on DVD, "the point of no return". The Shadow Disrupting beam, ignores shields and it disrupts on a molecular level blasting through armour, literally craving ships apart. The Gungir Frigate above didn't last a second attack run.
Slight problem, for the modders:
Because i havent the knowledge to create the fighter as a separate entity within the game, ive used the minelayerfighter slot, basically just changed the mesh for the re-sized shadow mesh etc, and re-wrote the gameinfo file for the weapon.
I now understand, that if you add an entity to the game, you have to alter the entity.manifest count(Myfisto & harpo).
But there are other files i have to change, create for instance, i have to tell the game where to read the the picture icons, hud icon,create the icons & pictures, because the young crab at the moment has the minelayerpicture/ability.
Its the same for the Wraith darts, i want to add next. I really need a step by step guide on how to get a new entity in game and which files i need to alter and or create.
