RELEASE: Kryo's Hull System Mod

Hulls your way!

Published on February 27, 2006 By kryo In Modding

Ever want to use a Dreadlord Hull, or some other race's hull as your own, or even just a different hull than the size you picked allows? Now you can! KHSM adds a 'blank' hull of each size (simply a hardpoint and nothing else), and makes ALL ship hulls in the game into jewelry. So now you can have any hull design you like, add hulls upon hulls as jewelry, or even create a ship ENTIRELY out of jewelry with no hull at all!

READ THE INCLUDED README BEFORE USING!

Now updated and improved for Dark Avatar!

It is curious as to why those things are not in the normal game... I've only seen them when I had a working version of Kryo's mod installed. But even now, the items are missing.

They're in the data file but commented out... must have missed them when I did a patch update.

So un coment them out and it will work? (i always modify a mod with caution especially one this useful heh)

As I recall they're already there in the base GC2Types.xml. If you comment them out they will be back, unless they got cleaned up in one of the recent patches. I certainly didn't make them myself.

At any rate, it seems the devs figured out how to handle free-form rotation of parts, so the whole hardpoint rotation attachments thing will soon be moot (yay).

D. Kryo,

I would only ask for one thing.... Can you put all the blank hulls and blank ship componenets in one section only... they are all over the place and kinda hard to work around... the one thing I do not like about the ship designer is that I can't re-organize the components and it makes it really hard when I have to scroll all the way through them all.

Thanks.

Thanks man! Great mod!!!

Unfortunately I have to ask how I can uninstall it because I want to try the 1.1 beta....

Unfortunately the only control over the sorting that I have is which category they go in (your style hulls are in yours, others in others, dreadlords in misc--IMO it's slightly better that way than just dumping them ALL in misc). The game itself decides what order to place them in the list (annoying, but nothing I know to do about it).

If you install the 1.1 beta, it should simply overwrite the mod. The models will still be there, but without the altered GC2Types.xml they'll not have any effect on your game.

I'm still confused; i have the 1.1b beta. Will your awesome mod work with this one?

Only if you manually combine them or try using the old file with the beta. I don't have the beta myself (too busy to mess with it right now), so I won't be releasing a new version until the final 1.1 is out in a couple more weeks or so.

Mod has been updated for 1.1 at last. The 1.0X file is still included as well for those who can't/won't update just yet due to new crashes, activation issues, etc (though it probably wouldn't hurt anything if you used the 1.1 file with 1.0X).

The readme also includes details about using the mod with the metaverse, so check it out if you've got questions about that. Remember though, I take no responsibility if you do that.

found a fix for the sorting issue??? I am waiting until it is found before I download the mod again... as much as I liked it dood, I hated having to scroll through all of them....

It is not possible without breaking compatibility with all prior versions of the mod, and people can get quite attached to their ship designs.

can you make a version for us that are unattached.. or capable of dealing with making new designs...
