actually SpardaSon21, I mean the ability to fire over an arc, NOT turret-mounted. I.E., what I want is a 90-120 degree, possibly more, firing arc (area where the guns can fire). Pretty much I want the guns to work like the beams on the Kol when it goes by an enemy ship (the beams follow the ship and punish it with weapons fire).

that actually makes things much easier. Thank you for that tidbit SpardaSon21.

I don't think you can do a buff addition, but you might. You may have to PM DANMAN, Thoumsin, kyogre, or Annatar, as they don't seem to be keeping up with the thread right now (probably working on 7DS).

But could this work on a capital?  Capitals have four abilities that are upgradeable, so would you be able to make this one only happen only once you researched it?  From what I hear, In entrenchment, you can have up to five abilities on something, but does it apply to a cap?

Okay.  That'll work.  (you have seen my mod and this is the thing for upgrading the Kol, Kortul, and Radiance to counteract the destroyers.)

hey, anybody know how many hangar points are needed for say, 10-20 squadrons of SCs?

no, that's not what I meant.

What I mean is that I believe that when you create a model you have to assign it a hangar point, to serve as a point of origin for SCs. What I would like to know is if you need multiple hangar points on a model for multiple squads, or only one.

If its as easy as backspace, press 1 press 5, save&exit file, then the devs outdid themselves on this one.

Hard point in the model and squads are not directly related... by example, the Sova capital carrier have 4 hangar but can have between 2 ( low level ) and 7 squads ( high level )... Model and hangar hard points remain the same at low and high level...

Not sure about it but maybe the hangar hardpoint have only some influence for docking or launching procedure only... by example, fighter/bomber dock before a jump, launch after a jump... maybe the process is more fast with multiple hangar... Someone need to check it... if it change nothing, hangar point are only a estetic thing...

By the way, since Entrenchment, the max hangar hard point is 10... but several mod have model who launch more that 10 squad !!!

Squad quantity is related to the "command point" in the entity file... a start value and a increase by level... it is very possible that like weapons, if you have no hangar hard point, fighter/bomber will be generated from the center of the ship !!! Visual effect will be ugly ( like beam or laser coming from the center of the ship ) but i think that it will work...

I think multiple hangar points will define areas where each individual fighter in a group spawns, if you have some sort of open hangar and want some ships to show up. It works for at least one.

mega_cleva_tom,

there are NO links at all for D/Ling the 1.17/1.03 GameInfo reference files in TXT format.

However, both harpo99999 and Dekhranic have created GUIs that you can D/L that will allow you to do it yourself. I personally use Dekhranic's, though harpo's is also a good one. It just happens that harpo's doesn't work for me.

wiskey.

To make particle forge make new particle effects from scratch requires u to create a sphere, point, line.... then what u do is attach textures to them so they dont look like a white square or circle . Make sure as well that u have the right shader.Then u can attach Affectors to tyhe emmiters to give the effects some dynamics. Also u can just take preexisting particle files and make your own  tweaks to them. That all i could tell but i think that a first time experience and pratice and you would be good. 

 here some picks

Right hopes this helps its not the best tutorial but im confident you will get somewhere started. Soorry for the bad highlight and arrows i was usin piant so its was sketchy.

Hi, you might have seen my thread, but since noone has answered this question I'll try and ask it here.

What I want to do is to make antimodules able to also attack capitalships and I tried some things without succes so now I am asking here.

Hope it can be done and someone know how.

EDIT: Ok, I got the answer in my thread.

right click emmiter should pop up with new emmiter list and you should get spere, point and ring soory made mistake with lines its rings not lines.
