Adding new ships?

[StevenSSX]

Can anyone link me to a step-by-step guide to adding ships (that others have created) into AoP?
Most of these threads talk about editing files but don't mention anything about downloading files (shouldn't you need to download the ship model and textures?).

Thanks

Well generally if you want to get a ship from say PotC you need to download the modpack OR ask someone to post it for you

So, there aren't any ship models made specifically for Age of Pirates? And what modpack do I need to download - won't adding ships work with the stock game?

Im sorry to but other than the SuperMod the AoP game wasnt modified much so therefore there wasnt many ships made specifically for it. You can however PORT ships over for PotC or CoAS and THOSE GAMES various modpacks.

Of course you can add ships to the stock game but you need to get ship models/textures from other games/modpacks to add new ships

I found a way to port over ships from PotC. I did everything in this thread: http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=11797

Only - how would I get the ship to appear in-game? I have it at the shipyard but it's not actually available to buy. Is there a way I can just spawn it or change my current ship? BTW I'm using a 'BlackPearl' ship mod instead of a FlyingDutchman one. I copied over all the model and texture files. I'm just having trouble with this, under my ' ships.h ' file. Is this correct?

Yes, you have that portion of the code correct. To get it to show up in the shipyard, you have to add it to the Shipyard file(s) and to get it to show up in the various encounters at sea, I believe you need to add it to some of the spawn code so it has a chance to be spawned.

You also need to add references to the model, skin and icons in various files regarding the ships and interfaces so everything loads up nice and clean.

Otherwise that looks good.
