Thanks for all your feedback regarding some of the changes I made to Standoff by throwing in some WC3 generation ships, I've made a couple more touches now:
Used a string editor to change the VDU data of the ship you are targeting, i.e. the Vaktoth now shows as a 'Vaktoth' rather than 'Gothri' (which it replaced) also, note the ship VDU icon now corresponds to the Vaktoth (this was simply a matter of extracting the correct icon from Prophecy and throwing it in.)
Same is now true for my personal favourite ship, the Thunderbolt, seen here from inside a Rapier:
My question to the wonderful Standoff team: This ship is showing up light blue, like a capship, not dark blue like a fighter. I've played around the shipfiles, the mesh, the strings... can anyone point me in the right direction to change the target colour to dark blue?
A few more screens of modded Standoff...
The pirates get the Avenger instead of the Tarsus, guess there must be some Border-Worlders in this gang - that, or they're stolen ships of course
The target icon is ripped from Unkown Enemy (thanks guys) but the Mesh for this ship I found on the CIC! Thanks to whoever converted it all those years ago.
Watching different generations of ships interact is interesting... Here is a 'bolt vs a Gratha.
...and here at the rendevous before we went after the Snakeir....
So yeah... anybody that can help me with that last little problem I've got? Most appreciated. Any other feedback about my mod would be great, critical or not.
Cheers.
Dan.
