A Babylon 5 Mod for the Final Frontier Mod

[Premier Valle]

Hello everyone,

At last I have been able to complete the Jashakar, getting the glow/damage to it was a little harder than expected since this ship uses a custom animation. It was to use the FF Carrier animation, however, I have seen that using this animation causes problems with the engine glow (see Olympus), so I made a custom Cruiser animation to use the guns of the carrier/olympus, eventually, all units using the FF Carrier will migrate to this animation. The new B5_Custom_FF_CarrierCruiser animation can be used instead of the FF Carrier/B5_Custom_FF_Carrier one, however, some adjustments on the NIF must also be done to work as it should, so you'll have to wait until those units are updated.

So, here is the Dilgar Jashakar, it has the following features:

• Poly count: 652
• Animation: B5_Custom_FF_CarrierCruiser
• Damage/Gloss/Glow: Yes/Yes/Yes
• FX extra polys: 28

I wish you luck on your job search, ... however I must admit, I'm a little envious of you, not having to wake up and go to work has certainly a nice ring to it .

Hello everyone!,

I have completed the next ship, the Dilgar Mankhat Class Battleship, it is clear that this vessel can carry missiles, so I say we should give it such capability.

• Poly Count: 1424
• Animation: B5_Custom_FF_Destroyer
• Damage/Gloss/Glow: Yes/Yes/Yes
• FX Extra Polys: 36

Combat:

Damaged:

As you can see from the combat screenshot, I played a little with the scales, so that the end result is different "gauge" weaponry.

what can i say......? as always, outstanding work. Currently trying to track down a small problem with production for the Narn whilst job hunting. Both are hard going.

Hello,

My name is rolly and I and my wife started playing Civ IV on our home network. Stumbled upon your B5 mod (as we are loyal fans of it) I simply had to try it.

I was wondering if I could help with writing the in-game text? Version 1.14 is gravy, but the "Insert Plasma text HERE" as a Sid's tip and the character dialogue with the simple convo text is quite lacking. Could I help write any of this?

I'm horrible at coding and don't do any sort of animation, but I can definitely write sci-fi text required to flesh out this mod.

Please let me know if you would like my help. I can be contact through this forum or rrctj[at]hotmail.com.

THANKS for an awesome mod!

Hello everyone,

Just to let you know that I'm off town again, however this time because of more unpleasant reasons (work ) so most likely I'll be resuming work on the mod 'til next weekend .

@rolly
First of all, welcome to the forums I'm glad you like the mod so far, the current WIP version is waaaay better than 1.14, however as of now it still has those "Insert text here" quotes It would be great If you could help with those, no need to code anything, just give us the text, we'll do the rest!

BTW, I would advise you no to post your e-mail in the open, a private message would be better for that.

@PsiCorps
I hope you find a nice job soon. So what do you think on rolly's proposal?

Thanks for the advice Premier Valle, that e-mail address I use as the good ol spam filter as a first point o contact. But I appreciate it.

I guess I'll start compiling stuff to write. Whom should I send it all too?

Hi Rolly, thanks for the support, i've sent you an email, looking forward to seeing what you can add for us. Haven't managed to track down the Narn issue i mentioned before and job hunting is going nowhere fast lol

Merry Christmas to everyone, the latest version is ready to download. See Post #1 to get the mod.

 

[Wraith23]

How do you install the mod?

 

[PsiCorps]

Extract the mod into the mods folder for BtS. If i knew how to use the auto installer i would use that. Hope this helps.

All I get is a "GFC error: failed to initialize the primary control theme"

OK, as you are the second person to report the same problem i'll need a bit more info from you. Which site did you download the mod from FileFront or Atomic Gamer?
Have you had any problems installing previous versions of the mod?

I downloaded it from FileFront, it was a 57 mb rar.

This is the first time I try the B5 mod for Civ4.

 

[PsiCorps]

Could you try and download it from Atomic Gamer and see if the same thing happens with that.

 

[Wraith23]

It's exactly the same file, the same thing happens.

What OS is your PC?
I still use XP so i don't know if this will work with any newer versions of windows, assuming you are using a newer version of course.
