I am working on starting a huge game, with total different ship edits...My question is when you change the ship edit and their descriptions...is there also a way to change the ansi grapchic of the ship that is next to the ship description....Or do you have to turn the graphics off to view the new ship descriptions. Thanks in advance, STRIDER |

Replace the SHIP*.ANS file with the file you want to use. It is in the ANSI directory under the game directory. |

even better, in the ship editor change the filename under tab 5 to something else, so you don't have to muck with the existing ansi files. |

yes but if i want the ansi files to be different like a different picture then will i have to deal with the .ansi file? And also what is a good ansi editor to use to make some opening screens in? |

When you are making your ship edits is there a way to let certain ship only be occupied my red players and certain ship to be only occupied by blue players? |

use TheDraw to make your ansi files. i don't have a link - but a quick google search should turn it up. There is no way to make a red only ship - and the only way to make a blue only ship is to have it require a commission - 1000 align. |

Ok, along Strider's line of questions and since I'm pretty new at this myself, how would I go about making up a ship description? Is there something special I should use to type one up? And Strider, why not make a ship close enough to the most powerful ship a blue can have so the reds in your game can be somewhat competetive? Perhaps a ship with as many holds, more shields but slightly less fighters with a fairly decent defensive odds setting? |

Thanks in advance, STRIDER If you are interested in editing gold ships and planets , I have made several game.twa files to import into your TWGS. Look over one or more of my games posted at http://www.coastgames.com/files/index.php Try maybe the The Big Show. In game , player turns off animation and can read better text info of ships and planets. I have requested PINK to help with the ansi , he said he could help .. but that was 4-6 months ago , and I'm not sure if he is still alive or just forgot about it. Take a look and maybe you like what you see and maybe use the idea's I have in the text on your edits.

Here's a copy of one of my ship desc : The Imperial Battleship is a rare and powerful warship. Many were discovered inside Imperial Stasis Fields left over from the great AI War. Others, in various stages of repair, were found throughout the old Imperium. Only Federation personell and a select few are authorized to operate these ships. They utilize a very sophisticated array of Imperial neural-net circuitry that allows simultaneous control of thousands of fighters. This vastly increases the offensive capability of these warships. Imperial Battleships also have planet-busting devices known as Atomic Detonators that can destroy entire worlds. Cloaking Devices provide these ships important stealth abilities. |
