This sounds great, I can't wait for an updated and upgrade SW mod for Armada. I have always loved SW Fleet Command. It is unfortunate they were not able to complete the conversion of their ST vs SW from A1 to A2. Perhaps in the near future we will see something like that here.......
Yeah SWFC is really outdated in fact I discovered when looking at the files that the majority of their models are direct ports from the old X-wing game series most notably X-wing Alliance. In fact my fighters are higher quality that that. It's a shame that even back in that day they didn't look at making new models as the standard back then was even better than the X-wing models. I should know I was around at that point. lol
I have another couple of questions. Can someone tell me the name of the Fed ship in FO that deploys fighters? If I recall those fighters were not controllable correct? I want to check it out and see how they did it.
Yeah Avalon as Cabal pointed out. The hangar is a weapon in that file and the fighter is a separate file again that is referenced in the hangar weapon. So say we want a ISD to launcher TIE Fighters and TIE Bombers, there will need to be two hangar weapons each assigned as a seperate weapon to the ship, in this case the ISD.
Also, let's say I have an enemy base and an enemy battle ship. I want my battleship to fight theirs, but I want my fighter/bombers to attack the station. I would use a higher intrinsicvalue on the station so my fighters engage it? If the fighters aren't controllable will they single out the station over the enemy battleship? Conversely I want their enemy fighters to only counter my fighter/bombers and ignore my battleship. If their station has a higher intrinsicvalue than their battle ship what will stop my battleship from auto-targeting their station first? Is this all possible?
I think you can set it that their weapons will only work on particular units, been a while still I modded FO or A2. It would be great if we can set it that bombers only attack stations and heavy capital ships, fighters target other fighters and small capital ships and interceptors only attack other fighters and bombers. I am sure there is a way to do it. I'll need to look at brushing up on my odf skills in reference to commands once I get the modeling done.
