Custom Starbase Look?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Has anyone ever changed the way Starbases look? If so I'd like to know how I could do it. For example I like the look of the Economy starbase, I'd like to make all my starbases look like it but ofcourse retain their original purpose ie: Military & Influence but have them all look like the Economy one.

Each starbase has a ShipCfg file in Data/ShipCfg which you can then edit to change the appearance of it.

A good'ol copy_paste_renaming process through variations could also do the trick... although functional & regular modules MUST remain active (like Macmatt suggested above), so to speak.

I've done that, as MacMatt said, you need to edit the shipcfg file. However, if you alter, be aware that those changes apply for all races, unfortunately. It is currently not possible, to individualize SB appearance, only a S0_ prefix get detected by the game, and hence you made them look differently but for all races :(

Shoots, i thought so.
General default GDI resources for a few areas are common stuff hence, the Ship fleet styles can be personalized.
Where there's hope, there's modding tricks.
I believe, the x_models can be altered to suit any needs... adding new things is a much different challenge.
