Making units playable?

Dive! Dive! Dive! · 06-22-12, 02:26 PM

Is there any way to make other units in the game playable? I was thinking of playing as a skipjack, thresher and astute subs which were all added with the RA mod.

Ive heard there's a way. But its long and tedious.

Do you know how?

To make a true playable you need to know how to write code and decompile/compile the .dll files used in the interface.

To just wear the "costume" of another ship you need to change the ShipClass in the Entity Dialog in DW IIRC (been years since I did it, and I don't even have DW installed anymore to check).

If anyone is nice enough to post a step by step tutorial then I would be very grateful. I am not really concerned about making my own stations and such I'll just use default platforms HUD's but I'll put a costume on top. Similar to RA subs.

I am sorry.

I cannot help you. I only have the DW demo. I havent gotten around to orderin DW from amazon. On top of that, i have no idea how to write code. I am useless for this problem which somebody else can solve for you. Try the major-DW websites. Im sure there are internet sources that can help you.
