Compiling ship sets

from GalCiv3 Forums

If I missed this in the folder, I'm sorry and please point me to the thread.  If it hasn't been addressed, then hopefully someone will have an answer and this thread will help someone else in the future!

 

Now that we have steam workshop support all kinds of wonderful factions and ships are popping up.  The problem is that most of those factions have certain ship designs that are associated with them (IE: The Star Trek races, the Empire from Star Wars, the 40k races) but the faction mod has no associated ship sets.  The ships are listed in the workshop individually because there is no ship set option.  So, the question I have is, how can I DL the various ships from the workshop and them compile them into a ship set and then set that ship set to work with one of the DLed races.

Kilrathi Test Faction with own ship style set

 

This is really basic, you just have to drop the files in your mod folder. There are mostly no real names of the ships, just "corvette" and such. I will change this eventually. Now its just to make the AI play as Kilrathi etc with the original ships. Surely you also can play by yourself and rename the ships in-game.

There is no preview pic of the ship when you choose these styles. You can have a preview pic if you copy the *.objgfxcfg of the "dralthi" ship from the my games/design-folder into your "startup" folder (Steamapps/common/galciv3/designs/startup)

Hi!  Thanks to you both for the replies.  Thanks to the link from Deathwynd and watching Gauntlet's videos (the ship designing ones and the ones that highlight the ship sets from his race mod) I've been making my own set for the Klingons.  As I don't really have the skill at building the ships themselves I have been modified the ones DLed from the workshop, the very ones that Bonylein mentioned.  Using the files he provided, I've been using that as a base for building.  Hoping that the creator of the Klingon ships gets some additional ones up.  There's a few from STO that I'd love to see be made:

K'Tanco (medium sized hull)
Negh'var and/or Negh'tev (large, carriers)
Vo'Quv and/or Vod'leh (large)
Bortasqu' (huge, carrier)
Ty'Gokor (large, the support ships)
