Hi, this is Freakman. I edited Smash's original files to create a ship selector for the enemy ships such as the Bird of Prey and the Warbird. Smash had originally created a successful ship selector for the Galaxy. Now, you will be able fight against more ships with this new mod featuring the replacable Galaxy, Warbird, and Bird of Prey.
Special thanks to Smash for letting me edit his mod.
------------ Introduction ------------ This program let's you choose additional Ships that are not accessible in the Demo.
It Replaces the Galaxy, Bird of Prey, and Warbird with the ship that you'll choose.
This patch only works with the Quick Battle option. However, you can also use this for some of the single player missions. Beware! DO NOT USE THE SOVEREIGN BRIDGE OR THE SHIP IN THE SINGLE PLAYER MISSIONS! THEY WILL NOT WORK!
In Single Player mode, you must use the Galaxy Bridge.
Also, remember to set the Bird of Prey and Warbird to default if you want to play with the single player missions again. This is because you might have trouble playing the 3rd mission.
------------ Contents ------------ ** Bridges ** Sovereign Bridge Galaxy Bridge
** SHIPS ** Sovereign class Galaxy class Nebula class Ambassador class Akira class Shuttle
*Bird of Prey *Warbird
------------ Zip Contents ------------ 1st-Backup.bat GalaxySelector.bat WarbirdSelector.bat BoPSelector.bat CHOICE.COM ReadmeFirst.txt
------------ Install Instructions ------------
1. Install the Bridge Commander DEMO on your hard disk. 2. Go to the main directory where the file stbc.exe is Located. 3. Put all the files from the zip file there and click yes to overwrite some files if neccessary. 4. Run 1st-Backup.bat (The file will be automatically deleted after it is executed) 5. Run the "ship"Selector.bat and select the things you want to change in the game. 6. Start-up the game and enjoy!
If it doesn't work delete everything and begin again at (1)
I suggest you make shortcuts of the three selectors on the desktop or on the start menu for quicker access.
*Note: The file Dauntless.tga should be overwritten. This is to make other ship names appear on the hull. If it is not overwritten, right-click the file, click properties, and uncheck the Read-only box on the Attributes section.
The ship registries are located in the folder "Fedships" under "High". To view the registries, you must have resolution set to high.
If you want to change the ship registries, the files can be easily renamed. They are:
Akira, Ambassador, Galaxy, Nebula, and Sovereign.tga files. All these files are from the default stock ships although you can easily download better textures and change these registries.
**I'm sorry but I'm not sure why the Bird of Prey or the Warbird won't work. They can't seem to be able to turn into the Galaxy Class. If anyone can find out and fix it, feel free to do so.
