Making a new transport ship

[carbon dude oxide]

Hello how would i go about making a new transport ship? Not the model but actualy a different transport ship?

[Andrie]

Yes try I would like to see the result! What 3D modeling program are you going to use?

[NoQ]

Add a line in templates.txt similar to the one for the two existing transporters (don't forget to set a unique id for the template!), the template's droid type (TRANSPORTER or SUPERTRANSPORTER) will determine its capacity.

As usual, add a name for it in names.txt; also you may put weapons on it, to do that use assignweapons.txt (the turret count is still in templates.txt).

If you want to add a new body, do it in body.txt, etc., as usual; don't forget to add the pies to piestats.wrf. You won't need a special model for propulsion, cause you can only put one propulsion on it ("V-Tol"), so there's no need to have separate propulsion and body models.

ok so if i wanted to change its initial speed ect i would have to make a new body?

[Andrie]

No I dont think so.

[Andrie]

Do you know this program?

A new body, yeah, most likely (just copy an existing body if you don't care, you can just re-use python or mantis or whatever) or re-use another propulsion (like "V-Tol02", see propulsion.txt).

P.S. i wonder if it's possible to make a ground or hover transport this way ...

Do you know this program?

no i do now know this program ^.^ what is it for?

[Andrie]

It's for editing you .wz mod's stats.

[carbon dude oxide]

i see i give it a go

what value would i change in body.txt to change the speed of a body? (its vtol so

[NoQ]

Engine output, body weight.
In propulsion.txt you may look at propulsion weight and maximum speed.

i did try to change the propulsion.txt but where do i assign that propulsion to my transport model?

[carbon dude oxide]

is it in templates.txt?

[Andrie]

Yes I think so.

[carbon dude oxide]

its saying it cannot parse wrf/stats.wrf?

what do i need to add to this page?
