Bigger Ships ?

Hey all :) I just begone to learn how to mod entrenchment and i was wondering if there is a way to make the cap. ship bigger. I was thinking of making a Command Cap. ship for all 3 races :)

 

Thanks for your help..

open it in max if you've got it, blow it up, then export it again

doubt there's an easy way to do it through just editing the mesh and certainly not through entity files

Newbeorg made this, very very helpful, it resizes meshes. First convert your mesh from bin to text, use DK converter to convert from bin to text, once done, resize the mesh you want. If you re-name it something like customcapital, or whatever, then you wont confuse it with the original, or leave it the same name and overwrite the original in the mesh folder. Make sure you make a mesh folder for your mod, and name your custom.entity ship whatever name, list in the mesh call in the entity file and there you go.

If you make the ship too big of course it will overlap the build factory, and you can either say that is ok, or resize the cap factory 2 or 3 times, or whatever... just bigger than the ship and then its cosmetically correct.

Of course lets say you want a ship ten times as big, and resize the factory 11 times, well...  :)  pretty soon, your factory is bigger than your planet.  :)  but the DK converter is here:

and the resize tool, is above. Use them and enjoy, and make a cool mod with super cap ships!!  :)
