Using custom ships?

New ships for dummies

October 29, 2007 12:09 PM from

Hello there,

I downloaded several new ship models and unpacked the files to my /model-folder, namely the Omega-destroyer and the BattleStar model.
After launching the game, no new shipmodels where available.
Is there a trick, how to make stuff work?

If all you got were the .x files and textures, you also need to have appropriate changes to the game's xml files (largely a matter of duplicating an existing hull entry in gc2types.xml, and changing the model value to the name of the new one). See the stickied modding guide thread for further details.
