New page

[[User:Silverain|Silverain]] 22:21, 21 Mar 2005 (PST) I recommend moving around the following links. Use the Create Ships page as an overall summary page, that reads something along the lines of the process to create a ship and all extras, ready to be imported to the game.
* [[HowTo:Create Ships]] - this is the summary page. Then link to individual pages below.
** [[HowTo:Create Ships in Wings3D|Creating a 3D-model of your ship/station/... ]]
** [[HowTo:Edit Unit Files|Editing the xunit file of a ship]]
** [[HowTo:Edit Mesh Files|Editing the xmesh file of a ship]]
** [[HowTo:Edit HUDs|Editing HUDs, placing radars, ...]]
** [[HowTo:Create Cockpit in Wings3d|Creating a 3D cockpit for your ship.]]
** [[HowTo:Texture in Wings3d|Texturing your 3D model]]
*** [http://netzwelt.gaming-hut.de/vegatexturing/ WIP VegaStrike texturing page by Major]

 * [[User:pontiac|Pontiac]] Good idea, but i think [HowTo:Add Warp Trails|Making autopiloting leave behind star dust] should not be under "Create Ships". I'm not sure about htis though.

On a sidenote: Right now it seems that most of the conversion-stuff and stats-generation is done by the core team (JackS?)		*** [[User:pontiac\|Pontiac]] 01:17, 24 Mar 2005 (PST) That sounds like a good idea.

		+	I just finished re-organizing the modelling HowTos. I'm trying to make it follow the general workflow of creating a model and getting it in-game, as outlined in the topmost article [[HowTo:Add Ships]]. -[[User:Halleck\|Halleck]] 00:59, 15 April 2006 (PDT)

 * [[User:pontiac|Pontiac]] '''Summary''': The problem right now is (as my list states) that we have alot (too many?) way to do ships/units for Vegastrike.
 ** [[User:Silverain|Silverain]] 14:46, 23 Mar 2005 (PST) So we just record one main way in detail (Wings3D), with extra information for the next most common (Blender).  Usually, anyone who uses any other modeller actually has some idea of what they are doing, and would be able to work out the details from the above.  My thoughts were a dummies guide for someone who has never used a modeler at all (ME!).  Read this How To and follow step by step and I've created a model with all necessary bits to put it directly ingame.
