Okay, In my scenario I'm creating I would like to change the spaceship graphics.
I made the .pcxs but does anyone know what I have to name them or how the game references them (what .txt file).
I know in the editor I have to flag them part 1, part 2 etc. but I know nothing else!

Just look what those files are called in the original civ3, and give same names to your files. :)

Thanks Aaglo!
Now if I only have 5 parts then does it matter which parts I rename?

hmm... can you finish the "spaceship" with only 5 parts?
And if that works that way, I don't think it matters which parts you'll use

I believe it depends on which part number you use- for example anything flagged as SS Part 1 will use the Thrusters graphics. But I haven't tried it yet to see if that's the case.
And yes aaglo, you can have any number of spaceship parts, require multiples of a certain part, or even have multiple parts with the same number. Although I suspect that having more than 10 parts would cause problems.

How many mods have actually replaced the spaceship graphics?

Playground Mod and WH2.0 Fantasy are the ones I know.

Master of Myrror, as well.

Hikaro's doing it in the FF mod, too.

And Grandraem in Champions of Mystarra. And his looks amazing!

LotM does, and BfNY will.

Thanks weasel
