hello, im new here, and I hear alot of talk about creating ships. Could someone please explain to me exactly how to edit ships? I would greatly appreciate it.

People, I know you probably get this kind of question a lot, but I would REALLY appreciate some HELP. Please!

ok, I assume by editing you mean creating.
first, you need to make the model in either 3d prog you want. Make lods, thrusters, turrets, whatever, at your own discretion. then you have to convert to cob, coz the hierarchy stuff can only be done in truespace. If you look around, you'll find many descriptions of the hierarchy making process. When this is done, you need to convert it to a pof file. Use Kazan PCS for this. You'll have to edit, still with PCS, al the stats of the pof file (gunpoints, engine glows etc). Once this is done, you'll have to modify the ships.tbl file thanx to wordpad.
For more detailled stuff, just ask, I give the hand to someoe else (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Welcome to HLP, Emergancy exits located to the rear have been boarded up and the shotguns have all been pawned. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I told you that It ("http://www.jskgames.homestead.com/files/home.html") would be done by November, well, mostly anyway...

Ok, sorry about the confusion. I did mean create. But WHERE do I go to START the creation process? I think that once I know where to go (the file or program or whatever), I should be able to figure it out from there.
