Assigning Ship Sprites

Soy Mucho Newbie

I've been screwing around with my Nova files, trying to add a little system and government to learn how to use Mission Computer. Being a newbie, I've been editing my Nova files directly because it's easier (I know, I know, I should make a plugin, blah blah blah). I decided to make a new ship, a modified Cambrian. I copied the Cambrian, changed the stats on the copy and stuff and then tested it. The ship doesn't show up as a Cambrian, though, it shows up as a random sprite with no animations. Interestingly, the ships do have the goverment's paint color. How do I change a shďp recource's sprite?

You need a shän (ship animation) resource with the same ID as your ship. Just copy the cambrian shän and change its ID.

Thanks, works great.

EDIT: Another question: how do I assign dësc recources to ships?

HINT: Nova Ships 7 file.

And please look in your data files before you go asking to be spoon fed here. It's all there baby.

As for resource IDs, if you can't figure it out yourself...

Ship dësc: (13000 - 128 + shďp ID)

Escort dësc: (14000 - 128 + shďp ID)
