Robots in spaaaace!

from GalCiv2 Forums
Phew. Took me a while to get these done, trying to figure out which parts will do the job, and shoving pylons and connector spheres where nothing else will do the trick.

That does look a lot like a robot!

That's really cool! It never occured to me to do something like that. Oh man, there goes another few hours into the designer. Awesome idea! Looks great, too.

Extremely cool. The ship designer really is far more powerful then I thought.

Hmm, so how do I post ship designs up anyway? I've only had this for a few days and havent worked that out yet.

You can't yet. It's a feature that will be added to the Metaverse, I think, sometime later. Nice job on the robots! I've thought about it, but I haven't actually tried it yet. The ship designer is truly one of the coolest features I've ever seen in a game.

You already CAN upload ship designs. Just zip up the appropriate shipcfg and class files and post them in the library.

I'm using UOSU to grab the shots before cutting them down with an editor. Still works after all these years amazingly enough. http://www.hh.iij4u.or.jp/~kmatuoka/uosu/indexe.html

So I just need to zip up the shipcfg and class files and that's all you'll need right?

Okay, hope I got this right. That's the zipped up class and shipcfg file.

Great stuff! Hadn't thought of doing this yet but I'm glad you proved it works like a charm

That looks amazing! I'm trying to imagine how could the battle view would look with the robots firing shots. Good job.
