Well i'm afraid I have yet another problem. I went to add the slipstream to BC, and I wasn't sure how to go about it, so I looked around in the BC Mod Packager and when I went to the menu tab, it came up with an error for every ship, station, and just about everything else, so all I have left on the ship selection menu is a handful of federation ships, and McKinley station. WTF happened and how do i fix it?!
*note* how to install the slipstream mod would be a plus too.
He he he, ya...that'll happen.
You don't need the BCMP to install slipstream. Once you have the Slipstream Framework installed, to add slipstream to a ship...you have to use the MPE (Model Property Editor) in the SDK to install a Slipstream Drive into the ships HP (Hard Point). Or you can do it by opening up the .py file in the Hardpoints folder and editing the ship manually, but I would prefer the MPE.
Because BC runs in "-TestMode" and that it's really modded now, the BCMP tends not to understand how the ships are configured and will take each ship that are more new, off the list. It's more of an error with BCMP then BC. You're going to have to re-add all the ships you have installed into your QB Menu through the BCMP. I don't reccomend going back into the "Menus" again, because it'll take off all your ships again.
Going to "Game Tools" and then to "Ship Plugins" is fine though, here you can add all your ships to the game. You choose your ship and choose a "Species", then click on "Make Plugin". That'll add your ship back into the game.
To help prevent this, I would reccomend the new BCSMC 5.0 by USS Sovereign.
http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/BC_Ship_Menu_Creator;86781Using the BCMP to get your ships back ingame would be faster, but in the future...I reccomend BCSMC. It's better and doesn't really have any errors anymore so it's all good there. It may take a while to get your ships back ingame, so hopefully you'll have enough patience.
Take your time.
P.S.
I'm just trying out BCSMC v5.0 now, there is a "BCMP Fixer" on the top left. Click that little icon on the top left that says "Mode: BCSMC"...you'll get a dropdown menu and click on "BCMP Fixer". I think that is supposed to fix the "Menus" error that the BCMP makes. Try it out, I don't have those errors on my comp so you can give it a try.
