Been ages since i've updated this, but ghhryd and I have restarted work on my shivan campaign. This brought to my attention a few missing features of the shivan datafiles, so here is another update:

Shivan Datafiles v0.8

If you want to get rid of an expendable ship (as long as it can be from the main campaign) I can suggest that you get rid of the Ma'at. No-ne really likes it and it has no freinds. Or one of the Terran or Vasudan sentries as you hardly see any of them anywhere.

What do you mean by 'no-one has created Shivan secondaries'. If all you mean is editing a table file to give it a shivan name and trail and all of that crap, I could do it easily (after a long period of rejecting and hating anything table related I am starting to master them).

Also, I think that there IS a table size limit. I have quite a few .tbm's attached to my table files and they start to override eachother when I have too many.

By "created shivan secondaries" i ment a retexturing job. Adding new entries to the table is easy.

Hmmm... *goes to try something*

And please note that the post here is out-of-date, the one on HLP is the one most updated (since they're the only one's that care )

EDIT: Success, i added the Vortex, a shivan version of the Tornado with a red trail.

Now, on to more important things...

I care...
*sniffles*
Besides I need those files, I am helping with the campaign after all...
Hold on a minute, I was looking on Hard Light and I couldn't find an updated version, are you sure it's there?

well i can't very well give you an updated version HERE can i? we'll talk on MSN.

Oh, and when I get back to mah comp ill get you some Shivan secondaries. Also, to reduce table size try deleting the top part of the document that talks about the physics of FreeSpace. It knocks off quite a lot of table size (make sure you dont delete the engine wash info though).

Also, are you planning of renaming 'Shivan Mega Laser' to something more believable?

how about "shivan heated french-fry shooter"?

anyway, about the cutscenes issue...are you messing with the build? check the cutscenes.tbl entry on the fswiki or contact an expert on that one...

also, is this SCP?

Well, it's not actually SCP work, but it is SCP compatible, just pop it in your main FreeSpace 2 directory and there you go!

Im sure that 404 will be fixed soon.

That link doesn't work because its old. Get the most recent version here.

eh...still 404.

Yeah, sorry, we think BH uploaded a corruptehd one. We'll update that soon.
No touchy!

T3h fixed

wow....im looking through the .vp and all i have to say is nice work!

Not bad is it?

its a good idea to shorten up those weapon names... like shivan light laser becomes SLL and shivan mega laser becomes "SML".
