How to get custom shipset to work?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I have downloaded some shipsets from this site and placed them in the proper directory (c:\My Documents\My Games\Galciv2\ships but they don't show up ingame (I have all updates, etc).

Please help.

Are you playing the same ship style as the ships you put in?

I have the same problem, I'm currently looking around my harddrive to see where all the original ships are, maybe I should put everything there.

if you are talking about ship designs (e.g. designs made with GC2 hulls and jewelry) you will find them at \My Games\GalCiv2\ships as you mentioned. however only if you use the same race ship style and have the proper technology level (if the ship design uses phasor or whatever you need to have the items researched).

if you are talking about completely new ship models (like the Babylon 5 ships I did) you need to either edit the GC2.xml to include them or have them replace an existing hull in your \Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\Gfx\Models directory.
