Newbie Mod ?

Fella's got to start somewhere

from GalCiv2 Forums
Downloaded the new Star Trek mod from http://trekgalciv.awardspace.com/index.htm
and it works great for a beta. I've been trying to move them over to a copy of the Default mod directory, then I copied the Gfx\Models folder, the Gfx\Thumbnails folder and the Data\ShipCfg Folder to the newly created Mod foler... It works. My question is where the heck are the core ships hid in the mod folder? I'd like to change the default tiny, small, med ships. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I need to give more info, I'd be glad to oblige

You should try posting your questions in the star trek mod thread, or on their site if they have a forum there. You're more likely to get one of them to answer your question that way (I haven't used it myself, so I can't tell you anyhting about how it is laid out).

Thanks for your answer Kryo, and I posted this there at the same time I posted this here. But since I figured this was a general mod question anyway- namely being, how do you change the core ships inside the default mod directory? I have got it to work with the default frieghter, colony, sensor, etc- by simply messing around. Ah- now i can have Klingons, Federation and Romulan ships all in the same fleet... Anyway- if anyone has any ideas on how to change the default core ships to show different models (Thought it was in the shipcfg folder... no luck) I'd be more then happy to give it a try. Thanks

Found what I needed to know here;

Now, I just have to figure out how make my own models, so I can have the Planet Express ship (Futurama) and a Fringi Maurander for my Frieghters... If only the Music folder was a little more friendly... If anyone has any helpful ideas for the first time tinker modder- please let me know thou...

thanks
