I may not entirely understand what you mean. The X2 Editor is not capable of "adding" a ship to TShips. It can only edit entries that are alreadt present. The number of entries in TShips is "hard wired" into the x2story.obj file. Unless you modify the obj file, you cannot add ships to X2.Using the TXT editor I get an 'error creating object' message when I try to add a ship to the tships file. What am I doing wrong?
Sorry, I was a little vague. I've had 3 days of confusion trying to learn how to import a ship into the game, I think I'm winning now though.DeadlyDa wrote:I may not entirely understand what you mean.

Give me a bit more info, and I'll try and help.
I've just read your reply again and maybe I'm misunderstanding the process.The X2 Editor is not capable of "adding" a ship to TShips. It can only edit entries that are alreadt present.

Absolutely correct1. You can add ship slots into the game using the Patch07. Y/N?
Again, correct2. You then need to add an appropriate entry into Tships and change to number of slots at the top. Y/N?
Ahhh,,,that would be "door number 2"3. Can you use the X2 Editor to add that entry into Tships or do you need to add in into the text or XML file and then edit it using the X2 Editor?
Many thanks, thats helps a lot.You must add the new entries in TShipe using your trusty text editor, and then brin up X2 Editor, In a way, this makes things easier, since you can cut & paste an existing entry that is close to what you want...so you don't need to manually enter each and every field.
Hope this helps...
