Adding a single ship to an Existing Mod

Thu Dec 21, 2006 6:15 pm by franco428

I've play a lot of different MODs only to find that each hassomething I like. Some ships in one MOD look awesome ans I'd like to try to move all of that ship's info, without changing the design or specs, into another MOD.

If I can do this, what are the file locations that I need to ass or edit just for that one ship?

I know the info has to go into: shiparch.ini, loadout.ini, Market_ships.ini, and several folders.

If y'all could give an example for any ship, to include every file and folder that needs attention. I will appreciate your time, efforts and advice.

Best Regards,

check the data files under ship and look for spcific ship names or a custom folder then either move those fles into your mod or copy them

ask the creator of the ship and the creator of the mod if you are allowed to do this

Also, if you get "permission" to use a certain ship in your mod....
There is at least one thing you have to consider.

1. If it is to be "hard-coded" into your mod, you have to make sure there are no conflicts with existing ids numbers or it will cause problems if you are running a server. (the ever hideous server crash will most likely happen with conflicts and ruin everybodys' day)

Ya, when coding it into your mod, you will need to learn how to create a XML sxript so FLMM will generate the IDSName and info aspots, or use a tool such as FLIDS to create your own DLL entries to use for your ship.
