Files necessary for new hull creation?

from GalCiv3 Forums

Would greatly appreciate if anyone has info as to exactly which files need to be edited to create a new ship hull. I have tried the following files, but the new hull does not seem to appear in gaem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Using the append method, I have copied and renamed the following files, putting them into the following folder C:\Users\Mac\Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Mods\GalaxyClassHullMod

ShipHullDefs.xml --> GalaxyClassHullDefs.xml

Code: xml
  3. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
  4. <ShipHullList
  5. xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  6. xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../Schema/ShipHullDefs.xsd">
  7. <!-- Created with the Gal Civ 3 Editor -->
  8. <!-- ShipHullDefs.xml -->
  11. <ShipHull>
  12. <InternalName>T_Galaxy_Hull_00</InternalName>
  13. <DisplayName>T_Galaxy_Hull_00_Name</DisplayName>

  16. <ArtDefine>TerranModel_118</ArtDefine>

In C:\Users\Mac\Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Mods\GalaxyClassHullMod I copied and renamed the following files.

ShipHullStatText.xml --> GalaxyHullStatText.xml

ShipHullText.XML --> GalaxyHullText.XML

 

I did not know where to locate the enum files in the mod folder so I just edited the following file in the F:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\data\Schema

ShipHullTypes.xsd

Code: xml
  3. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  6. <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  9. <xs:simpleType name="ShipHullTypes">
  10. <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
  11. <xs:enumeration value="Tiny"/>
  12. <xs:enumeration value="Small"/>
  13. <xs:enumeration value="Medium"/>
  14. <xs:enumeration value="Large"/>
  15. <xs:enumeration value="Huge"/>
  16. <xs:enumeration value="Galaxy"/>
  17. <xs:enumeration value="Cargo"/>
  18. </xs:restriction>
  19. </xs:simpleType>
  22. </xs:schema>
  24. <!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?-->

I believe in one of the dev streams it was mentioned that creating a new hull type isn't supported by the game.

Thanks for responding. I thought that was only for beta? If not, how can the devs justify going backwards in modibility from GC2 to GC3?

I have found that the new hull does get into the game somewhat. It seams to be replacing only some of my cargo hulls. Seems strange, but I would love for a dev to please provide at least some info if possible.
