Mudmarine,
I like what you got now. Here is the one I used (using your template) on the last mod I submitted to the library. Let me know if this is more to your liking. BTW were you a 0311?
PubMaster’s Metaverse Ship Pack
Version 1.0
Rev GC2 1.5 (Should work on lower revs too).
All of these ships are hulls built under the human race with just extras. No engines, weapons etc. attached. All
ship hulls begin with a letter 'z', so unless you name your designs start with the letter 'z', the hull designs will be listed at the bottom of your design list in the shipyard.
I stole the naming method from Croc411/Rabid_Monkey/the US Navy.
z[designation] Pub-xx
Designations are:
CRG (Cargo) - Cargo (Freighter, Sensor, Trade)
FTS (Scout) - Tiny
FTR (Fighter) - Tiny
CRV (Corvette) - Small
DD (Destroyer) - Medium
CR (Cruiser) - Large
BB (Battleship) - Huge
CV (Carrier) - Carrier (Huge- Just visual effects.)
Note that you will have to research Advanced Hulls to get access some of the fighters.
All the others you should see in the shipyard right after you research the right path. (I.e. Research Large Hulls)
You need GalCiv2 version 1.5 (might work with earlier revs but I'm not sure) and the Collector's Edition add ons.
Please update BEFORE you unzip the files. Some of the larger designs may affect your game play depending on your system.
INSTALLATION:
-These ships were created in DL and per Kryo the prefixes on the .shipcfg files are different in DA, so you may
need to rename those files as well to make them appear under the style you want. To find the prefixes associated
with each style, go look inside the files in Program Files\Stardock\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar\Data\English\ShipStyles.
Please use the following guidelines developed by SideMancer when unzipping the .xml and .shipcfg files to your computer.
Please note that:
- Dread Lords and Dark Avatar have their own seperate ship directories.
- Metaverse and regular games have their own seperate ship directories.
To use my ships in a DL regular game:
copy them into your 'My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2\ships' directory.
To use my ships in a DL metaverse game:
My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2\Metaverse\ships.
To use my ships in a DA regular game:
My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar\ships.
To use my ships in a DA metaverse game:
My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar\Metaverse\ships.
To check out the designs you can start a DL or DA regular game and
set the game mode to 'Battle of the Gods', this way you immediately get the
required hull techs for the designs.
In a metaverse game you have to research the required hull techs first.
In DA there are now templates, but to use previously created designs as templates, you have to use them as ships
and then resave them within the game with the 'use as template' option turned on.
I hope you like them,
Enjoy!
