Custom Ship Styles Problem

Are you doing this for TA?
I'm doing a shipstyle at this very moment.

yes

Did you alter the the Hull ID's? eg Tiny Hull I instead of TinyHull0
I have the same problem.

I solved it, by making a new module style, eg S6_Tiny1.X
It seems, one cannot create new colonyships, surveyships, and spaceminers, if choosing a different name attribute other than the original one in shipdefs.
It needs to be the same, for the three mentioned ships.
If it applies generally for all ships, I have not tested enough yet.

Ok my brain must not be working but what file am I messing with? I'm looking at my template folder, my shipstyle folder, my brain not in my skull folder. I'm lost.

There has to be an easier way if the game is suppose to let us have a custom ship style then it would be nice if the game would start with the set up we designed. That is what its suppose to do right?

Well, my mod is completely replacing the custom default race, so you need to place a customized RaceConfig.xml into the ModName\Data folder.
I don't know, if you already defined the ships in ModName\Data\ShipDefs?

yep got that. I don't know, maybe I'll walk away from it and take a look at it tomorrow.

Just create,copy&paste this into ..\ModName\my.bat and edit of your likening.
Run the script, set the ModuleStyle to eg. 6 in Shipstyle and raceconfig

I got it, thanks.

I downloaded the Star Trek Ships from the library and put them in my documents in twilight amour where they seem to belong. Now where is it I paste this stuff or find something to make these ships work. I am a novice modding this game so any help is appreciated.

I should have made a shipstyle file for the Federation ships before I posted it. I have one but it was made after I posted it and so its the one I use. This fact was reminded to me after I posted the Klingon ones. I have decided to make a Version 2 of the Federation Ships that will include 3 new classes and a shipstyle folder.

But anway to make sure you can use them at this moment. Unzip the files and put the ships in the Ships Folder in to:

C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor\ships

If you then play as the Terrans or a Custom Terran Race they will appear as you resarch them.

So I am confused, what is the solution. I created custom ship styles too and they started off before using my custom ships at the colony, explorer and miner no problem then the final TA come out and it stopped working, there still available in the ship creator just not the starting ships?

What needs editing? Also how can we change the names of the ships from like the ranger, and so on without making it a universal change, but rather race specific or can that not be done?
