i was wondering if there was any simple way i could put a custom ship into the game. kindve like a custom Flagship or somthing like that, but with using data already in the game.

If you mean design a ship ingame GalCiv, then no, but if you mean something like coding yourself a new hero, thenen yes. Just look at the Imperial_Remnant_Heroes, EotH_Heroes and New_Republic_Heroes xml files to see how they work.

Post the code here, or PM it to me and I can look at it.

well, i tried just testing, like renaming a hero, and it messed the hero up really bad. is there a way i can attach a Imperial Star Destroyer data to a hero and replace there current ship?

yea, that would be cool, but cant the XML editor adjust ships so that u can make a custom ship?

I really hope editing the XML can do that or I have no idea how we made this mod.

i was finally able to work out pretty much everything, but i just have 2 more questions

1. how do i make the ship to where i can only build one for the whole game?

2. is there a way i can make the ISD2 red?

<Build_Limit_Lifetime_Per_Player>1</Build_Limit_Lifetime_Per_Player>

you need to add that into the part of the file under the space station level required.

im having trouble with it, it lets me build more than 1

oh wait, it works now, thanks. now all i have to do is make the ship red some how

You could try to make a texture on photoshop idk if corey will let you edit the Crimson command texture for that ship you said you added

Zsinj · « **Reply #12 on:** May 26, 2012, 08:40:14 PM »

What ship are you trying to add anyways.

i am trying to make my own flagship, i have most of everything done so far, but i just need to make the ISD red

Zsinj · « **Reply #14 on:** May 26, 2012, 08:50:05 PM »

Ah you are making a ISD hero and you are trying to get him to have a red paint to make him unique i take it?

I apologize i dont think i can help you with texturing cause its not my strong point.

Corey · « **Reply #15 on:** May 26, 2012, 09:23:11 PM »

Here.

Just extract it and put the .dds files into Art\Textures and the alo file into Art\Models. Then the model name in the code should be EV_Red.alo

Zsinj · « **Reply #16 on:** May 26, 2012, 09:34:15 PM »

Is it of the ISD 1 or 2

Corey · « **Reply #17 on:** May 26, 2012, 09:35:26 PM »

I don't think our ISD-I model was even in 1.3, so II.

Zsinj · « **Reply #18 on:** May 26, 2012, 09:37:07 PM »

Ok so it shoots the octuples

Corey · « **Reply #19 on:** May 26, 2012, 09:38:42 PM »

Well the model has nothing to do with what it shoots. Our ISD I and II were based off of the same model pre-2.0.
