I dub thee: Official idea thread for making missions, and FRED2 help as well with regards to and only to Babylon5.

1) Is there any info online as to what FS2 icons for BRIEFING equal to Babylon5 icons.

eg: "Installation" shows up as a Sharlin.
" Escort Bomber Wing" shows up as a jumpgate I believe.

Is there a master command list?!

2) What of ingame faces. Are BSH-Head, pilot3, etc, from FS2 or are some changed to Babylon5 faces? If so, is there a reference list for this?

--------------------------------------------------------------

Post any ideas ya have too. THINK HARD

I think I'm doing some reference on ships and their capabilities.
Adding there briefing Icons aint bad idea.

I will do this when I have no time for making missions or I need a break from making missions

Briefing icons V2.1 , ready for installation
----------------------
update since V2 :
- archive with correct internal structure
- fixed the MINBARI logo.


Install notes :
-----------------
Extract the archive to Freespace2\data folder.

List:
Each category has 3 icons_
1 terran ( green )
1 vasudan ( green )
1 shivan ( red )

HOW TO USE THE ICONS IN FRED :
1. Select a ship or a set of ships ( no matter what one )
2. Click make icon
3. Click on the new icon . Now :
under ICON IMAGE you set the icon category . Each category has 3 icons in it.
2 green ones and 1 red icon.
4. For example . select icon category FIGHTER which has the icons
ASIMOV , EA atm.shuttle , CENTAURI LOGO ( red )
5. Now click on SHIP TYPE and select one of the 3 ships from the list ( just DO it ! )
- EA AURORA will give you the FIRST icon in the category , here it is
the asimov
- EA KESTREL will always give you the second icon in a category , in this case it
will be the atmospheric shuttle
- EA HYPERION will always give you the THIRD icon in a category which is always RED.
Here it is the CENTAURI logo.

Again : When you want to have one of the icons , look into THIS readme file to check
where it is , then in ICON IMAGE select the right category and then pick either
AURORA , KESTREL or HYPERION. Got it ? Don't ask why it is all so complicated ,
LOTS is hardcoded and we could only bypass Freespace 2's original traits like this.
Each ship in in ships.tbl is defined as terran, vasudan or shivan. This definition is responsible for the ENGINE GLOW color, for example.
So, the Aurora is a TERRAN vessel , the KESTREL is a vasudan vessel , the Hyperion is a SHIVAN vessel.




THE LIST :

ICON CATEGORY ( pick in ICON IMAGE )
- terran slot ( access via AURORA in SHIP TYPE )
- vasudan slot ( access via KESTREL in SHIP TYPE )
- shivan slot ( access via HYPERION in SHIP TYPE )
