VechicleSize.txt idea...

[brettben]

I know you are talking about changing the way the file works, but as for getting those extra ship pitures in your game, I expanded on an idea posted here awhile back. I make copies of the entry for each class in the vehiclesize.txt file, one for each picture I want in that class (Destroyer1, Destroyer2, etc). Each entry points to the appropriately named picture in my shipset. As for the AI, since right now they would not pick anything other then the standard class (I think), I made enough copies of the standard class picture and renamed them destroyer1, etc. Alot easier than making custom ships for each pic, and better than using the generic pics. I play with the ModPack races, and it did not take more than an hour to modify all of them.
