On making playable ships...

Seawolve44 · 07-17-09, 12:25 AM

Hello fellow modders,

I have been kind of a lurker for a while, but active in playing SHIV and SHIII, with the many mods out there, with the gameplay effects, improving immersion in submarine warfare, and playable surface units, I would firstly want to thank you all out there for your effort making this all possible.

I am still largely new to modding playable units, I have three units from the stock game that I would like to make playable, a liner, and two merchant ships, without weapons, which is pretty basic. I am curious to know what it takes to make a playable unit, do I need to do major rescripting or is it simpler than that? I would greatly appreciate some resources, or information on this, that will help me get started.
