Is there a simple way to view te .scr script files in OP? I would like to open up "Mul_4Tourneyfest.scr" so that I can see what ships are used by all the races in the tourneyfest multiplayer mission. Would be helpful to see if some races get gypped with a loser ship before actually flying the mission in a real battle w/ PvP.

So far, I've tried Textpad, which is usually pretty good about decoding things, but I just got a bunch of code. Nothing helpful like
Fed Frigate: FFG
Fed Destroyer: DDG
etc.

Or if you know of a list that just gave all the classes. Any help would be appreciated.

You need Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 with Sp5 or Sp6 and the Scripting Source files that are included in the game.. plus you have to have knowledge of C++..

You can't actually open the .scr files. As Pestalence says, you need Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, the scripting API and the source code for the script. You could then make changes to the original source and compile your own .scr files. With some C++ knowledge.

The ships used in Tourneyfest and Tourneyfest lite, are listed below.

Looking at the source for Mul_4Tourneyfest, I find this:

Code: [Select]

const char* gClassNames[kNumActiveRaces][kNumShips] =
{
//Avg BPV 72 100 120 133 185 235
// Federation
{ "F-FFG", "F-DDG", "F-NCL", "F-CAR", "F-BCJ", "F-DNG" },

// Klingon
{ "K-F5", "K-FWK", "K-AD5", "K-D7B", "K-C7", "K-C8K" },

// Romulan
{ "R-K4RB", "R-K5LB", "R-KFR", "R-SPA+", "R-KRCS", "R-CON" },

// Lyran
{ "L-FFP", "L-DWP", "L-CW+", "L-CA+", "L-BCH", "L-DNP+"},

// OrionKorgath

// OrionPrime

// OrionCamboro
{ "C-LRS+2", "C-DBR1", "C-BR3", "C-CA3", "C-BC3", "C-DN1" },
};


And for Mul_6TourneyfestLite:

Code: [Select]

const char* gClassNames[kNumActiveRaces][kNumShips] =
{
//Avg BPV 72 133 235
// Federation
{ "F-FFG", "F-CAR", "F-DNG" },

// Klingon
{ "K-F5", "K-D7B", "K-C8K" },

// Romulan
{ "R-K4RB", "R-SPA+", "R-CON" },

// Lyran
{ "L-FFP", "L-CA+", "L-DNP+"},

// Hydran
{ "H-CRU", "H-LC", "H-ID" },

// Gorn
{ "G-DD+", "G-CC", "G-DNF" },

// ISC
{ "I-FF", "I-CLY", "I-DN" },

// Mirak
{ "Z-DF", "Z-BC", "Z-DN+" },

// OrionOrion
{ "X-DWS2", "X-CA+1", "X-DN3" },

// OrionKorgath
{ "Y-LRS+2", "Y-CA+3", "Y-DN3" },

// OrionPrime
{ "P-LRS1", "P-CA+3", "P-DN1" },

// OrionTigerHeart
{ "T-LR+2", "T-CA+3", "T-CV3" },

// OrionBeastRaider
{ "B-LRS+2", "B-CA+3", "B-DN3" },

// OrionSyndicate
{ "S-LRS1", "S-CA3", "S-DN1" },

// OrionWyldeFire
{ "W-LR+2", "W-CA3", "W-DN2" },

// OrionCamboro
{ "C-LRS+2", "C-CA3", "C-DN1" },
};
I believe the source for the stock scripts is in the scripting api:
http://www.khoromag.org/taldren/scripting_api/SFCOP_API_R2.zip
You can use notepad or wordpad to read the script source files and dig out information like this without the need for a VC install (it will not work with VC8+/Express anyway, only the old VC6SP5).

Thanks Pestalence and Rod ONeal for the info regarding scripts. I don't have C++ 6.0 or any knowledge of scripting, so it probably would be a bad idea to mess around with them.

Thanks Bonk for the list of ships and the API source link. This is exactly what I was looking for!
