I bow to you deeply, master. You must be the only one who knows how to code the ships in GIMP. ;D

WITH gimp, not IN gimp silly.

Getting pixel coordinates is very easy with the Crop tool once you know the relationships in the hull file.

Though, hmm, it may just be possible, gimp does allow for great flexibility. But I wouldn't know how.

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff  >:(

I hate myself.

I think I've found the problem.

Go into your mod folder, change in my mod's folder the name of the "hull" folder into "hulls".

I think that will fix everything.

EDIT: Never mind I'm getting other problems. Just forget this.

Can you just post the image at least? (Sorry if i sound horrible).

The premise of this mod is a really good idea, shame it doesn't work...yet.

If you want any help with the WH40K lore/sprites just pm me.

Is that what the Manta looks like?

I was expecting a gigantic Devilfish. I've only ever played DoW, and never read the lore.

Tau was my first army in WH40k  =D.  I've grown to love me some Orks though.

MORE DAKKA AN' MORE RED FOR THA SPEED!~

Please let this topic die, it is of no further use.

Modding in this way is completely ineffective and bothersome.

The Manta will eventually make its way into the large mod collection topic when its ready, but that may not be for a very long time.

No I'm not making a warhammer mod, this was just a one ship thing because I got it donated, yes I am interested in doing a warhammer mod but I'm not working on one.

Thank you all for your help.

I've made a bit of Ork material, nothing complete though.

I'd love to see a 40K mod come to fruition but it's not the smallest project ever.

The thing about the manta is that in the world of Warhammer 40k it is a TINY ship really small so imagine making the other ships about 1 million times bigger, and thats only a frigate class such as the imperial Sword/cobra class.....

Now imagine the other HUGE classes such as a Planetkiller for chaos it would fill the screen, and only part of it to... unless you mod the zoom out feature a lot or make them smaller it would be really hard to make the mod along with doing all the ships, there are a lot. I am not surprised no one has done a starfarer mod for WH40K yet.....

If we want to let this thread die, could everybody who wants to post on here make another thread for WH40k-type stuffs?
