Any way to mod ship sizes and tech

Paul1980au · #1 January 21st, 2004, 05:15 AM

Is there any way to mod the game so that one can increase the space on each ship size and perhaps add extra big ships ie space ships with 5000 unit spaces ?

Or to add intermediate ship types ie escort 2 (between escort and frigate size) and likewise ?

Like to see more ship sizes within the next patch to MM if you are reading this !

Yes, you can add new ship sizes by editing the file "VehicleSize.txt" in the Data directory.

Thankyou id still like to see it as a expanded option available in the 1.85 patch when it realised ie say 3 intermediate ship sizes added in the game ie a medium sized ship that is still 20% harder to hit.

Can you provide a link direct to that file - also do i need to change the tech data to allow for these extra ship sizes ?

By file I assume my mod

http://www.spaceempires.net/files/cw/Invasionbeta24.rar

and to add new ships you must first add them in the vehiclesize.txt then add the extra research levels into the techarea.txt both of these files are located in c:\space empires IV gold\data or where ever you installed you se4 game
