[jamer123]

after a full day of converting and everything im going to need help coding it since this is my first addon im making( reason im asking) will someone please help me!!!!

Ummm, OK...

1. What sort of help do you want, exactly?
2. I assume a "halo pelican" is something from the video game Halo? Are you planning on publishing your addon, and if so, have you investigated the relevant copyrights of the publisher?
3. Please help us by using proper English syntax.

i just want help with knowing the basics for it

 

[tblaxland]

The basics of what? How to make an Orbiter addon? See the section "Tutorials for Addon Developers" here: http://www.orbiter-forum.com/tutorials.php

EDIT: See also point 3 above.

When i start it crashes at this one file nereid : textures

 

[MJR]

What are you talking about? You said that it crashed, but you do not tell us what you did. Please be specific and precise or nobody will probably reply to this.

 

[jamer123]

it crashed while i was loading my addon the pelican

 

[MJR]

Send me the mesh, scenario, and configuration file.

 

[jamer123]

heres all i have for now

 

[MJR]

You have to put all of that into directory folders.

 

[jamer123]

sorry its my first addons so idk what im doing

 

[MJR]

Make a configuration folder, scenario folder, and mesh folder. I am busy with my own addon at the moment so I can only tell you what to do.

 

[jamer123]

can you test it out on your because it doesny like to load on mine

 

[MJR]

You also need to make the jpgs to dds.

 

[jamer123]

how to

 

[MJR]

Use GIMP and open the jpg. After that, download the dds. plug-in. Save it as that and there.

 

[MJR]

I got it to work. You are going to do the texturing and configuration though. You will also have to change the camera so it is focused on the middle of the ship. Your welcome.

 

[jamer123]

i need to put it in the correct file ... right?

still wont work well

 

[MJR]

Did you open the zip. folder and extract it to your main Orbiter directory?

 

[jamer123]

yes though it will quite right when i start it
