Tutorial for added ship models with UE With new ship packs

[thunderchero]

Now that palette limit is going to increased for the update I want to re-add specific major/major colors from vanilla— could I copy necessary ship vanilla explosions files and put them into my own mod? How would I do this without screwing up the game?

yes just add back vanilla files, this should not screw up game, but other steps maybe necessary

1. use own palette on all added texture
2. check/edit texture id's used by explosion hobs. best way would have 2 UE windows open, (your mod and vanilla) then just check/adjust new/vanilla hobs texture id's in your mod

note; in vanilla some race explosion hobs use 3 textures and others use 4 textures

Thanks for the tips guys. I will try it soon~

ship vanilla explosions files

Be careful with the vanilla Klingon explosions, the size is so over the top that you can't follow what's going on in larger battles.

klingon can be changed

here is Klingon kbboom.hob replaced with cbboom.hob (renamed to kbboom.hob)
add new kshock.gif (missing)
register and assign textures to hob

Yeah this is definitely true. There seems to be a difference between fast attack and cruisers too for all races.
