A question about ship models.

Hello,

Does anyone know how to get the engine trail to appear behind custom ships? I haven't the slightest clue and can't seem to find anything referring to it on the forum.

Thanks.

It's in the modding guide I think. It's a blue line on the ship. It's a certain color blue just like yellow for the running lights.

I found it. RGB 0,0,256 pure blue. Draw a line for the exhaust and there you go. Yellow is RGB 255,255,0 for running lights.

After reading the manual I have one question, is the length of the line the length of the exhaust? I know that may sound a little strange :)

The line length does determine exhaust length, but I have never tried a really long line so I don't know if there is a limit.

I now have the problem that after adding the blue lines and loading into the game. All of the ships have the white background to them. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

Edit: Never mind i'm just dumb.
