I think I have the basics of weapons, armor, shields, and other such items. Now I want to do a ship.

The problem is I only seem to be able to do it if I use someone else's Player ship. I tried making my own Player Ranx Destroyer or whatever. I got it to show up and all but it couldn't move and there were some other things that didn't work. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

Next, how could I get custom graphics for ships? If I had them, where in the mod would I put them? I'm not very good at drawing things like that so is there someone who if I told them what I wanted could do up the pics?
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: If anyone knows the name of the ship that looks like a Star Destroyer from Star Wars I'd like to make it a player ship. I've seen it in the main menu before and once it get's there it never leaves... It looks like it has dual omniParticle guns.

The ship that looks like the star destroyer from Star Wars is the Xenophobe Defender.

Would you be able to post the code of what you have done so far? What does the debug say?

I got rid of the that ship... It made me mad that it didn't work. I checked the debug and there was nothing wrong with it it just wouldn't move. Thanx for the info on the Star Destroyer. If I have any troubles with that I'll let you know.

Anyone got info on graphics?

You can ask Dvlenk6, who is a very good graphic maker at the UTF. His website is at http://dvlenk6.blackraven3f.com or you can contact him at [email protected]. He makes the graphics for free, but he currently has a two-week waiting list.

The link is http://dvlenk6.blackraven3d.com/ and I'm going through my back log faster than I thought I would. I usually exaggerate my work load a little bit :lol: . That way I don't tell somebody I can do something and then not have the time to do it. I've got about three to five days of work left, but that isn't counting Yugi's requests or some things I wanted to make for Transcendence.

I posted my request on your Forums. Threre is really no hurry, although within the next 2 weeks wouldn't be bad. Well thanx anyways!

I also made the Xenophobe Defender a player ship and modded it to be a good starting ship. As soon as I finish touching up my mods I'll send them to Thom and then everyone can use them! :)

George, could you do something about that Dylanjct guy? Possible delete the annoying advertisements.
Dylanjct, if you want people to use your friend's/family's/people that hired you out, then I recommend you say so in a new topic, and make sure the post makes (more) sense. Since you've done all of these annoying posts, i'm certainly not going to want that site to host my website now.
