Mod Ships in Metaverse

I got'm in there!

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hey I was able to get the models I wanted into the metaverse by Copying there models into the galciv2/gfx/models folder and then copying the thumbnails into the galciv2/gfx/thumbnails folder. Then it was a simple matter of going into the galciv2/data/shipconfig folder and editing the .shipcfg file- example: Say I open the .shipcfg file S0_Surveyship.shipcfg, select notepad, (Well I downloaded notepad++, much smoother) and change the command line: BASE_HULL=S0_Medium_2.x to BASE_HULL=S99_Constitution.x making the first ship I start out with the USS Enterprise.
I was able to get into a metaverse game with new ships, and win with out getting called a cheater! Now, its off to try to get the blank weapons to work... Oh yes, soon I'll lay waste to the galaxy with a mix of Klingon, Borg and Federation ships! And if I can get my hands on a Star Destroyer I'll use it too!
Last hurdle- Seeing if I can get the blank mod to work on the weapons and engines... If anyone has gotten it to work in Metaverse, I'd sure love to know how- if not, and I get it to work, I'll post back.

Nice to know you can do that

Please write a step-by-step guide to doing this and post it in the library or here. There are plenty of people out there that would like to do that but do not know how it is done.

Nice one!!

Alright, when I get thru messing with the Ultimate Design Freedom Mod, I'll post a step by step what I did- complete with screen shots- With any luck I'll be done with the UDFM tinkering in a few hours, since I have to implement it and play a full game in Metaverse to see what happens- Thanks for the props Darth!

OOooo.... KHSM can find its way back to the metaverse (well, at least the blank hulls part)! This should work with custom designs too, so no need to replace the core designs.

Alright, I gave up on getting the UDFM in there- It seems to be causeing the system to become unstable and crash- And I am WAY to jone'sen for a obsence/Gagatic/Metaverse Galciv2 game at the moment to try anything new- If any of y'all have any idea's on how to try to get them in there, shoot me a line- and I'll try it- Right now I'm working on getting all the ships I want in there and am taking screen shoots of the proccess. (Game/desktop), Hopefuly I'll be able to post a how-to-do back here tonight
