Go to


Starsector->starsector-core->Hulls


then copy it to your mod's "hulls" folder. Open it, then delete the lines 2 until 172. After that, open up the original ship_data file and copy the line with the "Falcon" (or any cruiser sized ship) and paste it to line 2 of your mod's ship_data file for reference. Change the falcon to your hull id and change all the values to whatever you see fit.


Also, take care not to accidentally replace anything in the starsector-core's ship_data.

do you mean starsectorcore>data>hulls?

[Ladean]

okay whoa, i already have a hull file, i dont understand anything your saying to do... sorry this is my first time doing this

[Oblivion]

No worries. I learned how to mod ships from just reverse engineering everything. 


Wait up. Lemme just attach a file of what your ship_data.csv and data file should look like.

thanks man, the problem i have is that i dont get the stats of the ships, i just get the top part of what i posted the first time

[Oblivion]

Attempt number two. 
Apparently I can't attach .csv files. Just delete the .txt extension from the ship_data file and it should work.

For some reason, everything you paste lacks a few quotation marks and commas. If you miss a single one of those, your game will crash instantly.


Try using the ship file below. it should be named gigantes.gigante.ship but I had to add the ".txt" to make the forum accept it. After you download it, remove the .txt extension and move it to your mod's data file.


As for the ship_data.csv.txt rename the file to ship_data.csv

okay i did it now i have two files with the same name but one has the .ship thing "yours" on the end of it, i did not have to delete the TXT thing though, it disappeared when i clicked and draged it into the folder

[Oblivion]

I'm pretty sure you have file extensions hidden. The one I made won't be read by the game unless it's a ship file. Type "file settings" in the start menu, press the view tab, and uncheck "hide file extensions"


Edit: Nevermind that ^ . Just download this file from dropbox, then extract the "hulls" file. Replace your current "Hulls" file will the one you just downloaded.


Alright this should be the right one now.

im running on windows 10, all i get is "change temporary internet files" and im useing crome

[Oblivion]

Nevermind that. Just replace your hulls file with the one in dropbox.

[Ladean]

alright done, the shipdata file still seys its a rons editor type, is that okay?

[Oblivion]

Yup i'm pretty sure it should be. Now that's done, you can start starsector and check if your ship's there via console commands.


Edit: Whoops one more thing. The ship id's different from the one in ship_data. You're gonna have to fix that
