Hello there!
For the past year and more the Hitchhiker's Guide to Fleet Operations has been building up its modding section (for both Armada II and Fleet Ops) - now we are proud to present a completed guide of all Armada II Explosion and Ordnance ODF commands, with hierarchy preserved. Almost all commands have in depth explanations of functionality. Look through carefully, as you'll be sure to see commands that you've never seen before in the A2 community and can certainly make good use of in mods.

  Megadroid's Mission Mod v1.0.0 released - Mods
  Posted by: FFzerozombie on 10-07-2011 @ 01:59 - Source: www.fleetops.net
This News Item has been viewed 13308 times! Armada 2 News
Hi everybody,
Maybe you remember back a few years ago when Megadroid announced his mission mod? If not - a little refresher:

The Mission Mod allows any modder to create totally brand new missions for Armada II and Fleet Operations with a relatively easy to use structure made in Lua by Megadroid.

Missions can be made to be more complex than those released by retail A2, so get cracking! See you on the battlefield Smile

Comments and suggestions for new features can be made on the Fleet Ops forums. Original news post here: http://www.fleetops.net/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,3/topic,10874.msg178198/

  We Need PotDs. - Site News

This News Item has been viewed 13307 times! Armada 2 News
I took a look through the current queue for PotDs and I found something interesting:


  • Presently there are 160 PotDs standing by and waiting to be uploaded
    Only thirty-five of those PotDs are from authors other than Jetfreak
    (this is not a complaint - Jet makes awesome PotDs.)


  • The last new PotDs to be uploaded to the site were added to the queue in July
    Less than thirty new PotDs have been uploaded in the past six months (since April 2011)


So we're asking: submit as many of your new PotDs as soon as you can. Don't let the 1-voters scare you, either.

In fact when I opened A2files it showed the "There are no new poll topics" again, only after I had logged in did it show the new topic.

Something else: I would love to see some polls that help at making decisions in total conversions. Things like: What tech setting do you normally play with, or what tech could you live without.
Perhaps those polls were already there, but maybe some opinions have changed, and in that case it would also be nice to have the results of such surveys accessible long after.

  A request for your patience - Site News
  Posted by: theStarfleetKid on 05-06-2011 @ 18:53
This News Item has been viewed 19087 times! Armada 2 News
So as you've no doubt noticed by now, things are an absolute mess on the server side. The Break IT team is in the process of remaking the back-end of the site so that it actually works. This will be a welcome change. Without giving too much away, the code behind the A2Files we all know and love is as old as the game itself. And we all know how frustrating the classLabel and other ancient aspects of the game code can be to work around. What the IT people are doing at present isn't just some Fleet Operations-style revamp of the existing code. It's a complete replacement of the code. It's like taking A2 and rewriting the code so it works like the best parts of Trek Online, Sins of a Solar Empire, and Star Wars Empire at War. It's going to take some time.

In the meantime, just so we're clear:

- The file upload system should, for the most part, remain unaffected. So if you upload new mods, they'll be on the site within days, unless you're told otherwise. And you WILL be informed, at least as far as I'm able. There is presently no good reason for you not to make your mods available to the entire community. A2Files is still the only place around where you can do that. We welcome all submissions.

- PotD will continue to be erratic. So will the images associated with files. We will work to restore all that stuff once the overall progress is sufficiently far along to make it worth our while. But the picture server, since it's so much more deeply encoded, will be much more buggy than anything else. Sorry.

- No, absolutely not. That is our answer to anyone who thinks that these upgrades mean the end of A2Files, or the community's end, or whatever. We're still modding. We're still here. Yeah, the place looks a little messy but renovations usually are. What makes A2Files so great is that it's still our place. And we're what makes it that way.

One last thing. We know you're frustrated. We're frustrated, too. Unfortunately these IT types don't really understand, or particularly care about, the meaning of the term 'customer service'. We all deserve better. But the fastest way to get there is, unfortunately, to be patient, to wait and see. We hope you're still around to read this. And for what it's worth..... we're sorry for the mess.

 #1 - Quoted from other topic. Delete if duplicated. - Posted by: Adm_Zaxxon (Member) on 04-06-2011 at 14:09
Well now there is a new topic...

I chose that i would download if it peeked my interest, however there are other deciding factors.

Pics really help. If a ship that i might not have normally liked has a picture that blows me away, i might just download it, whether it be for textures or weapons, or maybe my mind was changed about the ship.

then again... I haven't been doing much trek modding, so as of late, only non trek mods have really interested me. FleetOps mods are cool too, but now almost every mod should work in FO, so it doesn't make much of a difference any more.


 #2 - Posted by: Terra_Inc (Staff) on 04-06-2011 at 15:18
I generally DL everything my favourite modders release. Beyond that, I usually DL stuff if it looks great or has some interesting functionality.

I usually keep away from FO mods. In my opinion the devs carefully balance everything - changing the balance by adding stuff doesn't feel right.


 #3 - Posted by: Avon (Member) on 04-06-2011 at 20:51
@ 1
Almost every mod should work in fleet ops?

This attitude is exactly the reason why I wont be waisting my time with modding this game any more.


 #4 - Posted by: Terra_Inc (Staff) on 04-07-2011 at 01:17
@Avon, calm down. What he means is that the FO developers have improved their special coding. So now you're able to just plug a mod for stock A2 into FO and it works. wink

 #5 - Posted by: Avon (Member) on 04-07-2011 at 01:59
You're right, of course. I re-read it, and realised my misunderstanding / dumb stupidity. My apologies

 #6 - Peace man - Posted by: Adm_Zaxxon (Member) on 04-08-2011 at 19:08
lol, no problem. I too often see people doing as you suggest. implying that a mod isn't good enough unless it is in FO. Roll Eyes (sarcastic) I completely disagree with them. Mods are equal. You can't simply say that "this weapon is better than that ship mod because it is from FO" or even, this ship is better because it is in FO. Only those who aren't resourseful enough to figure out how to apply a mod to any install are the ones who complain. For those, there is no excuse as there is a big old guide out there just to show you how. They are no better then the people who complain about a mod when it has no .exe auto installer.

Anyway, as Terra said, the devs have reverted alot of their code back to its original labels so that those who would like to try their own mods in FO might be able to without too much effort. Now, almost any modification should be able to work in Fleetops without too much effort, so nobody should complain if it wasn't made for FO. Its so easy anyone with the ability to install a mod can do it if that is what they want . big grin And did I mention that there is now a guide to help?

I have even been able to directly use the Physics Project in FleetOps making FO that much more epic. Rock


 #7 - Posted by: C4B4L (Member) on 04-25-2011 at 11:22
I generally just care about how the model looks. I can do anything I need to coding or sprite wise to get it into my game in the role I want it but my modelling ability is lacking.

This News Item has been viewed 19387 times! Armada 2 News
Working on a personal mod of mine I decided to recreate the Orion model used in the remastered version of "Journey to Babel". I created it using Milkshape and some modified textures from a picture and some textures from an unknown modeler's orion wanderer from the FASA Star Trek Starship Tactical Combat Simulator. It has 2264 polies with 512 textures and doesn't have a reliable scale to it since I couldn't find one anywhere, and the revolving lights don't work since I do not have Max or suitable program to do animations with, but it looks pretty good if I do say so myself. Since the picture function isnt working well lately I will send a pic using the comment function if I can.

I submitted some pics a few months ago so I contribute too.

I also support and give my opinions on pics, I rate fairly too! I also support the awesome pic guys like sov, jet, charls, dasjagwolf and other bad-ass pic makers since they've been setting great standards for us! Don't let the 1-voters get to you! You're inspirations to me!

Fleet ops also gives us a chance for normal guys like me to take crisp pics! I think its safe to say that our graphics can still keep up with BC and Legacy thanks to their shots.

 #6 - Posted by: Dominus_Noctis (Member) on 03-01-2011 at 07:31
I don't submit photos as there seems to be a lot of internal rivalries/and/or misgivings and even further opportunity for such via the rating system. The system for submition is also frustrating, as all my pics are PNGs, and I'd prefer to submit more than one at a time.

 #7 - Posted by: dan1025 (Member) on 03-01-2011 at 08:20
I really must get back to submitting pics regularly again, havn't done so in a while.

I do agree with Dom though the system could use updating - being able to upload multiple pics at one time in other formats (.PNG) would make it much more appealing to submit pics.


 #8 - Posted by: Stargazor_001 (Member) on 03-01-2011 at 09:41
My pic's aren't of high enough quality, so I chose "I can't compete with the guys who do it now"

(and I rarely play A2 anymore... I only add ships/stations/weapons and test stick out tongue)


 #9 - Posted by: Majestic_MSFC (Member) on 03-01-2011 at 17:41
I agree with Dom and Dan about the upload system needing updating. Plus perhaps when there are so many by a select few perhaps those uploaded by people who don't regularly could be pushed up. That would encourage me to upload a bit more and those whom have theirs posted every other day wouldn't be too worried I would think.

Onto the poll, the main real reason I don't submit is a number of reasons, firstly there are way too many to really bother with, 300, I don't want to upload and then have to wait almost a year before I see it posted up. Secondly, some people are rather lets say not very diplomatic when commenting on peoples images. They just see what is wrong with it rather then giving the artist some positive feedback and tell them what they like about the image or that they actually like it.

Lastly that 1 voter he is just nasty! lol,
Really I am not bothered by him I think he is a rather sad person personally. Just though I would add that. A tad of comedy value for us all. big grin


 #10 - Posted by: Thunderchild205 (Member) on 03-01-2011 at 18:11
I used to submit potds years ago. Most of them I liked and was proud of however once posted they were compared to a select other few people's works and not rated very well. Eventually I just got tired of my pics being compared to people's pics that I didn't have the hardware specs and graphic abilities to match and gave up. This isn't meant as a knock towards those few who submit dazzling potds, just that the bar is set quite high for anyone trying to submit their own pics.

 #11 - Posted by: Terra_Inc (Staff) on 03-02-2011 at 01:47
I usually try to bring a balanced selection of PotDs, favoring pics from people who rarely submit PotDs. But I can't do that if there are none... We have about 200+ pics from Jetfreak in the queue, try to balance THAT. stick out tongue

 #14 - Posted by: Majestic_MSFC (Member) on 03-03-2011 at 00:57
@Terra, I did post one or two some months ago, yet I haven't seen them posted. Were they missed or something?

Honestly I couldn't even tell you what the images were of, that it was that long ago. Plus I didn't see them in the archives so I didn't miss it on the day that it could've been posted.

Honestly, I have submitted a couple, but who needs to when Jetfreak has the whole queue clogged up with his masterpieces? stick out tongue

@maj - I have no idea. I've been unable to access staff features for a while now, and I'm not the only one. Backend problems being fixed ATM. I'll see where the pics have gone as soon as I have access again. big grin

 #17 - Posted by: Majestic_MSFC (Member) on 03-03-2011 at 14:16
Thanks Terra. I may post some more in coming months, if this system of pushing those whom don't post much to the front of the line. I think a little variation would be good. Might be nice once I finish the modelling process for my ENT mod.

I voted that I didn't have ideas, but after reading the comments I think I'll try and submit some anyway.

Other. ALL OF THEM!!!! Rock

 #2 - Posted by: k_merse (Member) on 02-21-2011 at 13:16
Holodecks: And all of your dreams come true.
Or replicators. No more starving children -and I could eat pancakes every day big grin


 #3 - Posted by: charlesb924 (Member) on 02-21-2011 at 18:32
replicators or transporters, both would completly change the world

 #4 - Posted by: wingsabre (Member) on 02-22-2011 at 04:20
Hyposprays already exist, it's just kinda big and loud.

 #5 - well - Posted by: cliperkins (Member) on 02-22-2011 at 06:11
i hate to said it but Transporters, Replicators, Holodecks, use roughly the same tech not they so any of the above

 #6 - Posted by: shadow_from_afc (Member) on 02-22-2011 at 14:16
Well, replicators are not so far away as most people think.
Just take a look at the machines used for rapid prototyping. They can produce an item within minutes to hours depending on their size and complexity. But wait a decade or two.

Holo decks maybe a hundred years.

Transporters are a nice item in the show but a scientific impossibility ( Heisenberg !!) But they would be cool !!


 #7 - Posted by: Dominus_Noctis (Member) on 02-22-2011 at 14:58
Transporters via entanglement are possible eventually (works on small packets of particles now)... it's just not very feasible (lot of energy involved).

 #8 - Posted by: LineBoreal (Member) on 02-22-2011 at 15:28
I voted Other:
I would like to see subpace fields or something similar. Most of the things in the voting list use subspace fields to some degree, not to mention faster-than-light travel.


 #9 - Posted by: C4B4L (Member) on 02-22-2011 at 16:30
I had a hard time choosing between holodecks and replicators, but decided holodecks because I like to cook and I would probably never cook again if I had a replicator (out of laziness). Hand phasers, tricorders, combadges, and hyposprays would basically be advancements on existing tech, though. Tricorders are basically a bunch of stuff like Geiger counters and MRIs crammed into a handheld device, phaser like weapons could be achieved with lasers, and combadges aren't much different than cellphones with voice recognition dialing.

 #10 - Posted by: Stargazor_001 (Member) on 02-23-2011 at 07:59
It was a tough choice, but I'm gonna go with transporters ... Gas prices are killing me! stick out tongue
Holodecks are a close second, I always wanted to take a swing at my boss stick out tongue, and ofcourse I have 'other' fantasies wink


 #11 - Posted by: potemkis (Member) on 02-24-2011 at 06:30
Gotta be replicators at least... end world hunger by replicating food- well anything but corn...

 #12 - Posted by: ILOVEJETTROOPER (Member) on 02-24-2011 at 18:17
Replicators/transporters (two sides of the same coin). you could program them to make ANYTHING. not to mention copy whatever you make ad infinitum.

 #13 - Posted by: Atlantis27 (Member) on 02-27-2011 at 08:12
WANT to see: Transporters
Think we will most LIKELY see next: Holodecks

I have LOTS of Copies. And after what happened to my a1 disc, loosing my arm would happen sooner...

 #2 - Posted by: starfox1701 (Member) on 02-09-2011 at 07:48
My disk hasn't left my pc in like 3 years

 #3 - safe and sound - Posted by: CovertJellyfish (Member) on 02-09-2011 at 11:44
I keep my disc in a locked drawer.. funnily enough most of the things that are in there would be worthless to a burgular, and they tend to go for locked drawers first ;-)

 #4 - Posted by: Wolfis_52 (Member) on 02-09-2011 at 11:50
Moved on. Already. I haven't played a decent A2 game for ages. I dunno, it just doesn't attract me anymore

 #5 - Posted by: Avon (Member) on 02-09-2011 at 12:17
After reading this poll, I had a panic. Not seen my disk for ages.
After a frantic search, I found it safely in my pc. Phew!
Think I'm the same as Starfox, probably been in there for some years, lol


 #6 - Posted by: Majestic_MSFC (Member) on 02-09-2011 at 14:49
I have like four copies, all created from the original so it won't wear out the original. Plus the reason I have so many oddly enough is because I had lost my burned played disk and then found it a few days afterwards. big grin

I have copies all all the games I play that need disks including AOE III. A1, A2, Sins of a Solar Empire, EAW, Empire Earth etc.


 #7 - Posted by: deathowl (Member) on 02-10-2011 at 06:16
why would u worry the second i installed it i got an iso file so i could play a2 with that instead of having to put the disk in EVERYTIME i want to play it.

 #8 - Posted by: Freyr (Staff) on 02-10-2011 at 13:44
I play from a copy of my CD. And I have a spare (picked up for £0.50 because I couldn't resist at that price)

 #9 - Posted by: Terra_Inc (Staff) on 02-11-2011 at 02:51
@Freyr - who could? I definitely wouldn't be able to resist, too.

I have several backups of my A2 disk stored on various HDDs. Mostly I just run A2 from the disk image and have the original CD stored safe on my CDROM shelf.


 #10 - Posted by: HighGuardKnight (Member) on 02-12-2011 at 05:46
I have the install backed up everywhere. and the ISO. and the disc lives in my laptop lol

 #11 - Posted by: Eluvatar (Member) on 02-12-2011 at 22:39
I did in fact lose my disc once, which reminds me has anyone seen my arm?

Both "Working on a large-scale mod!" and "I'm doing minor releases now and then" apply to me. Yesteryears and my BSG Mod for Fleet Ops being my larger projects and the smaller releases I release on MSFC being my smaller ones.

I feel both are pretty important, on one hand everyone loves a full total conversion, however if there aren't new things constantly coming out in the meantime, well it's not good for keeping people interested and the community progressing and attracting new modders to the game. As a TC can take years depending on the amount of people working on it, the time one can give to the project and the motivation behind it as a modder always needs a break from modding like with anything in life.


 #2 - Posted by: frostmourn4 (Member) on 01-30-2011 at 21:23
I'm working on H:FC with Dino, Dan, and FG.

 #4 - @ #2 - Posted by: Majestic_MSFC (Member) on 02-01-2011 at 13:50
I am also a member of the team as is Cabal.

 #5 - Posted by: exodus_499 (Member) on 02-03-2011 at 04:06
I still love the game, it's mods, and this site but I haven't played in ages so I suppose it's "just visiting" for me. Sad to see that that's the majority vote on the poll frown
Besides, I sort of... uh... Fleet Ops... :|
