Want to Start developing?

[Seth Karlo]

I got a few questions here.
I just got myself metsequoia today, and i wanna start modding a little.

The questions are, what are the softwares used to develop ships, as in for design and modeling both.

Other than that, how do i develop stations and new modules for the stations ?

Thirdly, systems. Again, what are the softwares, and how is it done, basically ?

And Seth, are these all available in your FL pack ?

Don't wanna do much do ya?:P

Right, software for ships:

Metasequoia, for making the model. You can texture here if you want to.

Export as .x

Import into MS3d, (in my FL pack) and texture here if you want.

Now, export as .CMP (In my FLPack).

Open the .CMP in HardCMP and place your hardpoints (Ctrl + Click)

Save.

Then, edit the INI's you need to:

Goods.ini
Shiparch.ini
The other ones... I'm tired and can't remember right now. Look back in this thread, it's all detailed.

It's ingame!


To make new modules, do the same as you did as ships, but to put them ingame add them to SOLAR>DOCKABLE or SOLAR>MISC (I think)

Then you can use them ingame. You'll need a MAT aswell of course, but if you use the existing textures it will save trouble.

Next, brief system thingy here:

For more detailed stuff, come talk to me on Skype (Usually Saturday or Sunday's are good times to get me to tutor ya) and I'll walk you through it.
