New ship types

Post by neofit »

Hi,

How would I add a new ship or station type to a game in-progress? This is a feature I loved in the Space Empires Series.

The modding manual does not mention ship types. I tried looking into some game files, and I found them in "Distant Worlds Universe\designTemplates\human\" for instance, each having its own .txt file. At first site on may think of adding his own .txt file here, but there is like a table of contents file "vssver2.scc" where each .txt is listed. So, any ideas?

You can't modify the ship types if you by that mean "frigate, destroyer...".

When you play, you can however have different deisngs under the same ship type, but it is a bit clunky.
