Want to do very simple mod changing model of TEC bomber, looking for advice.

from Sins Forums

Hi!

 

I'm just wondering what steps I'd need to take to replace the current TEC bomber, seen here, with the model used in earlier versions of the game, seen here. I just... find it to be a more pleasing shape, I guess. XD

 

I already have the textures and meshes, and I was wondering what other files would need to be modified.

 

Thanks!

I'm not sure if you would need to change the .mesh versions or not, I've never done this kind of thing.

To change the models, first make a mod in your mod folder...

"Tec Bomber Mod"

inside that folder, create 3 folders...

"Textures"

"GameInfo"

"Mesh"

Now, if you have the reference files, find FighterTechBomber.entity...

Look for a line near the bottom that says something about the mesh, I don't have a converted file on my pc right now, so I don't know exactly what it says...

change "SupportShip_TechBomber.mesh" to whatever the name of the new mesh is...

Then, take the textures for the new mesh and put them into the Textures folder, take the mesh and put it into the Mesh folder, and select the mod from the mods menu in-game...

few more guns and a little texture modification makes this a nice gunship
