Trying to add "Executor" capital ship to Rebellion

from Sins Forums

Hey,

I've been trying to add the super capital ship "Executor" from the star wars mod to Rebellion. I've done some Sins modding in the past, and have been quite successful adding ships and modifying/adding upgrades, research, etc.

Unfortunately, this time I just can't get it to work. I've been trying to add the Executor (+ star wars TIE strikecraft) as either a Titan or a capital ship. The mod will activate successfully, but when I try to start a game, it crashes. I believe I have the appropriate textures, particles, meshes, sounds, and entities in place. I have also updated the entities manifest, english string, explosions data, sound dialog data, and sound effect data (changing the "count" too). I also set the HUD icons, etc. to standard vanilla icons to simplify the mod. What am I missing? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Run the Dev.exe and post the error...

Hahaha! That's all the help I needed. Thank you! I didn't know about the dev.exe. That thing would have saved me a lot of time in the past. I was able to figure out the problem by using it. I needed to add a new line of text implemented in Rebellion to both the squad entities, and the meshes.

The Executor SSD -this will be for the Rebel Faction!

Odds are you didn't update the .mesh for the SSD to make it work for Rebellion. Though seeing as how you know of the Dev ese, it's probably been fixed by now.

Add in the following to the .mesh file before the hasValidTangents line: "maxDiffuseMipLevel 0".

tools to convert trinity, even entrenchment, to rebellion would be a helluva thing.

I have a friend whose making a script to do this for me. Except, you input what line the script "looks for" and you also input what lines the script is to insert after it finds the initial line you put in. This way it can be used for meshes, entities, and other files.

Sounds like a god-send for converting between versions!
