I can't seem to make it buildable, anyone have it working?

I think it will be availible in a special Galactic Conquest.

You know. Looking over the files theres not much difference between the XMLs from the demo and the full version. My suggestion woul dbe to check something like the first mod that enables the ship and then compare the data to the coresponding version and seen whats been changed.

I have extracted some of the XML files manually for the .meg files (Config) if you need a certain i can try and extract it for you, other than that it seems we just have to wait.

Files i have are:

 

Groundinfantry

Groundvehicles

Herocompanies

Planets

Spaceunitssupers

Squadrons

Uniqueunits

What do you mean when you say 'manually'? You didn't use one of the extractors or something? That's wht I used...

Use the Dos Extractor that is linked in one of the tool's threads, modifiy the unqiueunits.xml file, and you can build it.

 

So you guys don't have to use the search tool, http://xfer.lfnetwork.com/lucasfiles.com/downloads/1215/Kaelics_MEG_Extractor.zip .

My dos extractor isnt working, it just wont understand the command lines im putting IE program files\ lucasrts\ etc etc

 

i opened the meg file in a editing programe then copied all the xml stuff for seperate files and compiled them that way. but for the life of me i can find space unit build times and costs but not lad units like vehicles and infantry. but as for the dos thing, it just wont work for me.

You don't have to put in command lines, its just drop the file on to the .exe and it works.

Doesn't work on either of my computers...

Perhaps this might help. Its not perfect, as I'm still learning the XML files. However, thanks to Bryants mod I figured out the right sections to copy over and now both Empire and Rebel have the Venator enabled for the full game. Only problem is I've been trying to get the Rebels to have a slightly different version (enhanced stats for my own personal usage), and unfortunately thats why theres two versions in the rebels menu.

 

Just drop the XML file from this zip into a subfolder named "XML" which is to be placed as follows:

 

GameData/Data/XML

 

You can play with it as much as you like and if you manage to get two versions for either side then please let me know how (unless I figure it out in the meantime).

Drag and drop doesnt do anything only bring up the console.

Correction, it doesn't work on my desktop. Works on my laptop now though...does it need the WinXP service pack 2? My desktop doesn't have that (network card shot, so no internet access).

 

EDIT: Okay, freakin' wierd. Now it works on my desktop too. I'm happy about that, but still wierd...the copy I had before must have been corrupted.

MajorPayne, I think I figured out why the rebs have two options. The Jedi_Cruiser_R is set to rebels (like normal) but the base Jedi_Cruiser is set to Rebels and Pirates, and since it's enabled the rebels can pick from the two. If you set the standard Jed_Cruiser to just Pirates (or Pirates, Empire or just Empire, whatever) that should fix it. I'll try it right now and tell you if it works.

Yes I noticed that one, and I tried to remove the "Rebel" reference from the normal one but both disappear from the list.

Yeah. I just found that out. I'll keep trying. Since getting the Venator on only the Imperial side is critical to my modding, I'll just keep trying stuff. Eventually, you get lucky...

AND I GET LUCKY! I fixed your problem. It's actually a simple fix (thank God). Just change for the Jedi_Cruiser (not _R, _E, or _P) to Yes and the Rebels only get the option to build Jedi_Cruiser_R. Glad to help.

Long time lurker, first time poster, big fan of the Venator.  I apologize if this question seems silly but I honestly don't know how these mods work.  Been doing some research like crazy here and in Lucas Forums.  Saw this thread, downloaded the ZIP file from MajorPayne's post, created a folder called "XML" in GameData/Data/ and placed the XML file there.  I loaded up the Skirmish battle, one as the Rebels and another one as the Empire, went up all the way to Level Five for the space stations but no Venator.  Did I miss a step somewhere?  I haven't tried the Galactic mode and main campaign yet but can someone please clarify where, when and how to access the Venator(from that ZIP file in Major Payne's post)? 

 

Thanks in advanced! 

IIRC the Venators only available as certain planets (I've noticed a few are missing the venator from the build lists even at tech level 5).

I thinks it's in the full version because if you highlight a pirate space dock/merchant space dock, it says you can build Venators, but you can't.

Okay here we go i have it buildable in skrimish

what you have to do is add it in in the Stations.xml file

does any one know how to make it spawn fighters?
