Majestic's Re-Imagined Federation Dreadnought

Hi Majestic,

I wanted to PM you about this but I don't know how, sorry. Lol.

I downloaded your fantastic looking Federation Dreadnought pack that brings 3 versions of the ship: Fed, Terran Empire and Of Gods and Men.

After putting in the textures, the ships disappear and all I can see is the blinking lights. It's been a while since I modded A2, do you know how to fix this issue or why it's happening. I've tried both sets of textures with each ship, with and without Alpha Maps, and the result is the same.

Also, the original readme references other ships I can't seem to find? Akula, Saldin, Surya, Katala, Sherman, etc. Are these found anywhere? Do they have Terran Empire textures also?

Thanks!

Thanks for the assist Hellkite! I came from a much simpler time in message boards where there was a button next to the name of a member that said "send private message". Lol.

Before I think the start new conversation option was greyed out, but I could be mistaken. In any case, much obliged sir.

If there are no takers and with respect to Majestic, I would like to examine this dreadnought model. Maybe the SOD is geared for A1 and doesn't accept lightmaps. Should be an easy fix.

The other ships if I can recall have never made public release, sorry about that.

Hi Majestic,

You can also click on the user's name under their avatar. It will bring up a little popup window. In about the center of the window, is the option "Start a Conversation" that you can click on. This will allow you to start the conversation directly without having to remember how exactly spell the receiver's name.

Hi SciFi fan, I could swear none of those options were visible to me when I would click the names or go to the conversations sections. I must be blind like Magoo! Thanks letting me know guys.

Jetfreak, that could very well be it. Back in the day when I modded more regularly I know I would encounter this sort of thing every once in a while. But yeah, I haven't modded since 2003 and just started up again a week or so ago. If Majestic can't look into it and you can then that's great, another Terran Empire ship for my extremely tiny fleet once it's fixed. If it's too much trouble then no worries, I appreciate a lot all the assistance.

I'm still getting my sea legs back with modding this game, I better dust off Westworld's Big Book of Modding for a refresher. :lol2:

No, I don't think you were blind. If I remember correctly, there is a small post limit before you can send private messages. We always forget its existence, until someone new tries to send a PM and can't.:sweat:

Yep. If you look under your username on a post, you'll notice that you're a Community Member now instead of a New Member. New Members can't send PMs to hamper spambots and such.

Oh ok, I thought that might be the case but I didn't recall reading that in the rules, just the download access for members. In any case, I appreciate all of your responses and that I'm NOT going Magoo. Lol.

Thanks fellas and again to Jetfreak for the offer to look at the ship.

Hey Archonon, would you mind attaching the files? I can't seem to find the dreadnought on the DL section, strange...

Hey Jetfreak, I tried to upload the file but it tells me that it is too large.

I am linking to Armada 2 nexus where you can see the file, if linking to external files is not permitted (I didn't immediately see anything concerning this in the rules) please delete this message asap and I will upload the ships by themselves one at a time.

http://www.nexusmods.com/startrekarmada2/mods/1522/?

The version I'm most interested in is the Terran Empire variant, so you don't have to work on so much of it on my account. Thanks again Jetfreak.
