I know there are a lot of similar topics like this, but so far they have not give me anything. So here goes...

I would like to know how to add NanoFx 2.0b, QBautostart, and ATP to Multiplayer without a huge download like MPMP or FBCMP. Can someone help me?

They're available on BCfiles, but keep in mind thay if you install anything, you probably won't be able to play MP anymore...either keep 1.1 clean, or install a complete mod...or better do both, in two separate directories. Wink

Defiant · **Posted**: 02-28-2005 05:22 PM

I'm still confused... I guess I'm a slow figure-outer.

I think I'm starting to understand, but first, how big would FBCMP be without ships (in MegaBytes, please) ?

cool! would Nanofx 2.0, ATP, and QBautostart 0.9 work in Multiplayer then? And would the install without ship overwrite any stock files?

Defiant · **Posted**: 03-24-2005 03:38 PM

If you want the features you listed just use the TKY mode in a Stock game.

Ambassador · **Posted**: 03-30-2005 01:47 PM

Okay. I checked the topic you stated before and I couldn't find any reference of TKY.

Can you give me steps in how to get in TKY mode?

Ambassador · **Posted**: 04-05-2005 01:07 PM

Basically, could you just tell me how activate TKY?

Dragon · **Posted**: 04-05-2005 03:27 PM

Ok, TKY is a game mode Defiant (so amazingly) created called Turkey Shoot. It allows you to add in AI ships in MP to add Co-op or large scale battles in MP vs AI vessels and is VERY cool.

In order to load TKY simply host a game and select Turkey Shoot from the menu, then select your own ships from the ships menu. Ingame, press F3 and select ADD SHIPS in order to add more ships in battle, this is an excellant way to regulate a good battle to keep the action going while preventing lag. A good host (i.e. me Razz

) can make a game really cool and full of action if the balance is kept right. I took some screenshots to show you the menus that you should expect.

Ambassador · **Posted**: 04-08-2005 01:06 PM

I don't have Turkery shoot in the menu Sad

.

Ambassador · **Posted**: 05-03-2005 01:52 PM

Do I need to have Add ship helper to have "turkey shoot" mode? Or maybe QBAutostart 0.9.1 (P.s. I have these things downloaded, I just haven't installed them.)

Ambassador · **Posted**: 05-04-2005 03:20 PM

Well?

**USS Phoenix** · **Posted**: 05-10-2005 01:58 AM

I am wondering the same thing. I have QBAutostart 9.1 installed, plus the Add Ships mod, and yet I still get no add ships button in Turkey Shoot, though Turkey Shoot does work otherwise. Very curious.

In fact, none of my QBAutostart files work in TKY...

Defiant · **Posted**: 05-10-2005 06:28 AM

uhm...are you running latest TKY? 0.8?

**USS Phoenix** · **Posted**: 05-10-2005 01:57 PM

Yup. QBautostart .91 too...

Defiant · **Posted**: 05-10-2005 03:38 PM

uhm Phoenix: could you pass me a beta of yours?
On clean 1.1 install it does work as expected - so I have no idea what could be wrong.

**USS Phoenix** · **Posted**: 05-10-2005 06:44 PM

Theory: I have scripts in my QBautostart folder that have no init attribute. I got tired of clicking "OK" on that box, so I found where the box is created in "LoadEngineeringExtension.py" and disabled it. Is it possible that doing so may have affected TKY? Like perhaps since there are "errors" (Qotation marks because my scripts work perfect without an init attribute) in those scripts it won't load the Add ships thing?

Anyway, I can give you a link to the update zip. Its just the files that differ from the 1.0 release, is that good enough? (I'm on lunch break and don't have time to upload the whole thing.) It includes all my QBautostart files and all the scripts from TKY and ADD Ships plus QBAutostart .91.

<EDIT> Dang! Nightsoft is down, no link to provide at the moment...

<EDIT AGAIN> I'll try reinstalling from scratch. I have been messing around with it an awful lot...

Sorry for the bdl post, but here's another thing. If I check the console just after BC starts up, there's a line that says "Outdated Foundation, updating functions." Does that help at all?
