    Posting because I just remembered edits don’t send emails to those subbed to the thread. Ataraiym, check my edit on the post above. B)

    Hah, no, not related. If I don’t play I-War 2 for a couple months, the install often gets queer. Games installed on the hard drive corrupt anyway after a few years, and I haven’t reinstalled this particular location for at least five. To top it off, I’ve been tinkering with some other stuff, so it’s no surprise that it copped out on me.
    I’ll install it on the SSD this time, as it’s so small.

    I agree this should be simpler. I don’t have a clue why it’s not working as I gave it to you, but I’ll find out. *mutters incoherently about racks and stocks* I’ll find out… muhahahaha…

    You’ve probably noticed that if something with I-War 2 does not go EXACTLY as it’s supposed to, I mobilize my armies. :silly: It’s an effect of knowing so much about the game that you can’t rest if it misbehaves and you don’t know why. :whistle:

    Edit: My struggles have borne fruit! 👿 Actually, I just checked to see if compatibility mode was still on, and it seems Windows managed to turn it off somehow, so I switched it back on and the game ran fine. I tested the mod, the exact one that’s in the .zip I attached, and it works. The tug handles like a patcom.

    Bear in mind that it only affects the normal tug in game. The instant action tug is unaffected, and the tug you use when busting out of jail also is unaffected, as it’s a different file.

    Oh, I just remembered something! The game reads the .ini file only when you select which ship to use! The .ini file is actually copied to the save. I only remembered because I was thinking about this one other mod I made. Every time I changed a stat on the corvette, in order for the game to notice, I had to switch to another ship in the hanger, and then back to the corvette so it would reload the file. Try this! Switch to the command section, then back to the tug, and launch to see if it works! 🙂

    Well, it seems I managed to break my I-War 2 install. I’ll have to reinstall it, but today’s been kinda tough, so I can’t check the mod today. 🙁
    Sorry about that.

    I guess I probably should have tested it myself. I’ll do so today after school. 🙂 Whatever’s wrong, I’ll fix it.

    Never seen this one before.
    Basically what the devil clown said. I’ve never heard of G-sync, so I’m assuming it’s like V-sync. You’ll certainly have to disable it everywhere the option is available.

    Good grief, the model for the Advanced Command Section is an absolute mess! I don’t know if PS originally modelled it that way or if it’s simply a converter error, but the Heavy Corvette model was much cleaner. I’m going to have to manually remodel the cockpit area for sure. I’ll wait until it’s necessary though. Right now I’d rather work on immediate gameplay.
    Basically, as long as you keep a little distance from the comsec, or are sitting inside it, it looks fine. But don’t you dare give the exterior of the cockpit a close look. It’s rather ugly.

    Edit:
    There’s also a funny thing. When in first person view in I-War 2, the cockpit model you see is not the actual comsec model. It’s a separate model of much higher quality; however, it does not at all match the geometry of the cockpit when viewed from the outside. I actually like the inside of the comsec model cockpit better than the jerry-rigged one.

    You’ve lost all your comment thread subscriptions, though. :unsure:[/quote]
    That’s OK. I was subbed to pretty much all of the ones in the mod section, but nobody ever comments. :V If people want to get more info from me, that’s what PM is for.

    We have an ancient TV screen that predates 1080p. We thought it was so cool that it wasn’t a CRT! 😆 We use it to watch movies as a family or play Gran Turismo 5 on my brother’s PS3, but we’ve seen a grand total of 1 TV broadcast on it. If we want to watch a TV show, we get it on DVD.
    But yeah, every time I play I-War 2 I think “not as shiny as ED, not as techy as SC, but somehow it still looks stunning!” :cheer:
    Also, that flickering you mentioned may be simple z-fighting, which I-War 2 suffers from a lot.
