Hey i downloaded a couple of new ship for KA, but i have no idea how i can activate them in the game and first where i've to copy them? could you help me?
you will see folders for ships, textures, scripts:
those are the three to focus on.
First open ka 'scripts' folder and open file 'qbships.txt' and leave it open in background:
(If dwnloaded ships files are zipped, first unzip them) Copy and paste respective ship folder(s) into ka 'ships' folder, their respective textures into ka 'texture' folder:
Look for a text file in each downloaded ship's folder that says qbships.txt paste into open qbships.txt.
do not overwrite qbships.txt btw, just find a place to "ADD" the new line into ka folder's qbships.txt .
If your downloaded ships are executionary files, beware!
they may automatically overwrite your original ka installation directory!
One that I had to step-by-step to keep from doing just that was scimitar.exe.
You will have to do these step by step or you can destroy the original install. By the way, you will also need to have the patch 1.02 before you can add ships. Good luck!
Yeah srogers: I have noticed a correlation between ATI on some OS (in particular- XP,2000) and Klingon Academy crashing the game right after the splash screen with Gen. Chang goes off. Nvidia is such a better vid-card imho but that is up for debate, I'm sure ;)
Im on the road right now as a truck driver, but as soon as I get hometime Ill get back to you all: let me say how very much it amazes me that there are excellent great fans of trek and Klingon Academy! I am currently programming missions with my old win98 laptop/oldversion of Ka with my mods-
I built a tplanahath vulcan ship based on shakurian schems with lightwave vrs 9.0
it looks like the 1st contact ship but it kix ass- it can transport 120000 marines@ 45 marines per interval- til nxt time
You rock dude. Q'Plah! I fantasize about being able to run this game again. My video card won't support win98, however. I need to build a legacy machine just to do it.
lol i could kill any ship with that Romulan ship can't wait for them too come out in sto.

Its a shakurian ship that has a shielding system which can block anything but phaser\disruptor fire.

What fun is it when you can keep ramming the enemy vessel and never take damage?

Ever hear of a battering Ram? lol
those using a battering ram generally received severe damage in old times but now look-
alas...
To be able to not receive damage- it is sometimes so very much fun :)
Only in this vid and none of my others...
Thanks for your comment.

Open your ka folder in a seperate window:
you will see folders for ships, textures, scripts:
those are the three to focus on.
First open ka 'scripts' folder and open file 'qbships.txt' and leave it open in background:
(If dwnloaded ships files are zipped, first unzip them) Copy and paste respective ship folder(s) into ka 'ships' folder, their respective textures into ka 'texture' folder:

Why are you not taking any damage, even with collisions?

I am a ship modder: I modded this ship's .shp file to withstand incredible damage ;)
thanks for the question.

oh no, Chuck!
YOU ROCK! we need more fans of Trek in the world and my devotion to this game would be useless without excellent individuals such as yourself :)
I will keep you posted as it seems there are still great people who love Klingon Academy.

Waitin for ka2 to come in the mail, haven't played it since just before 9/11. Hope it works.

I did find out something new about ka running on vista:
1. open your program files folder
2. create a new folder called ka2008
3. go into the c:\program files\14 degrees east\klingon academy folder
4. copy all the non folder files e.g: data.dat, ka.exe any that is not a folder
into the new ka2008 folder create a shortcut out of the ka.exe in the new folder and paste it on the desktop-
the game will run itself from data.dat!

This Video is an example of Windows Vista NOT running the game graphics as intended:
For the most part, the game runs very well but it, ergo- is not a very good direct draw emulation nonetheless on any OS other than Windows 98.
