Yor++ DL/ship designs transfered into DA!

from GalCiv2 Forums
With that post-title, i guess it maybe obvious to some that i have a preference for the DL default ship designs.

Is there an easy way to transfer the previous "structure setup" of ships to the appropriate directories straight into a DA installation without messing up too many things around.

Cuz, the S*_???.xml and other conceptual *ship.cfg files are (somehow) eluding my greatest analysis powers. Trying to figure this is an issue, having someone on SD-staff explain the essentials to me, is another.

Sure, it takes time to realize some processing modes and alteration principles... but, there's nothing about the subject i could find.

The new ones are quite nice though. But the bulky terran colony from DL was particularly fit for my Batman race in CSH. Etc. Etc.

Please, provide some important details on such an "How-to" guide if you can also.

Darn, i feel so silly & stupid!

Forget the above comment everyone, i figured something (about plenty of stuff) had to be available in the D/L or library section of this site and there it was... all of it - mostly.

Many well earned Thanks to;

1) Gauntlet for the Races-mod inspiration (templates and pretty good information to develop a proper files structure, for DA).
2) Pants for the excellent tools and utilities (specially the Political aspect)
3) Kryo (of all things, i may have to get to work on multiple ship designs)
4) LogicSequence (Handy material and combined powerhouse data about a few important details.)
5) Fantastic Ship designers everywhere i looked.
6) Actually MODders, too.

Well i haven't had time to pick (what i may need later on) a lot more or else, BUT and...

7) So many more, i had to stop writing. As such, consider yourselves in the above list also.

One last tiny bit of an observation (or simple question) though.

We all get to have those as races; 0-TA, 1-DE, 2-AR, 3-AE, 4-TC, 5-YC, 6-DK, 7-DL, 8-TE, 9-IR, 10-KO, 11-KR, 12-CU, 13-ak, 14-ca, 15-sc, 16-je, 17-lz, 18-pa, 19-dy, 20-sn ./. 23-dr ./. and finally 26-pi.

Slots (21/22/24/25) are missing? Why and/or When?
Anyone would like to volunteer a tricky answer to that?

So far, so good with CSH and X-Worlds.
