Ship Scale

Post by basilstaghare »

I have figured out how to scale my own ships thru the construction templates. My ships are the size that I want them. Is there a way to scale the other AI Race's ships? Thanks.

Yes. You'll need to modify the design templates to do so; instructions can be found on page 32 of the modding manual (page 17 of the printer-friendly PDF version), but the short version is that you want to insert

Code: Select all

ImageScaling   ;[keyword] [value]
after the line indicating the ship type and before the list of components. Keywords are Absolute and Scaled; valid values are in the range [10, 1000] for Absolute and [0.05, 10] for Scaled. Note that the brackets should not be included when you put that line into the design template file.
