shipNames for all races

Post by Nibelung44 »

Hi,

How to define shipnames for others races, not just the one you play?

You cannot define ship names directly.
You can define their class in the designs.txt file.
From there, unless whatever race is using your SHIPNAMES.txt (and I have yet to figure out why some races use my names and not others), it will use say ENTERPRISE 001 or ENTERPRISE 027 or whatever.
Just remember, for a given race, there is need for you to designate the class name in the races files for each race...
Remember that the evil which is now in the world will become yet more powerful, and that it is not evil which conquers evil, but only love -- Olga Romanov.

Should that not be the design names?

As in setting which set of names to use in the designNames.txt file?

Hey Darkspire, have not seen you in a while; hope you are well!

Yes, I may have butchered my instructions.
What I am trying to communicate is that in the race file, there is a place to designate which row in the designNames.txt file to use.
I did not communicate this well...
Thank you!

I am functioning within normal parameters, trust you are as well [:)]

I am still about, posting help as and when I see it needed. Mostly working on Darkverse, rebuilt the theme from the bottom up due to my PC blowing up back at the front of the year, hopefully looking to release an alpha to a select few as Darkverse is what I consider should have been done as a released theme for Universe, it covers most of the capabilities of the DW engine, quite a few of which have still not been utilized to there full potential if at all.

Beware Darkspire! Anyone from the Dark Side of the Force (tjhkkr) NEVER has normal parameters

BTW, glad to hear Darkverse is still coming soon!
Shields are useless in "The Briar Patch"...
