Editing ship graphics

[redmarkus4]

I am looking for advice on editing/replacing the ship detail graphics. I've found a few excellent side views for ships represented in the game and would really like to add these to my game files.

Any tips would be appreciated!

Went digging back into the Forum and found the following post from the game's designer:

You add the photos to the custom files directory. Then you use the DesignsShip2 program to enter the filename of the photo for the different ship classes.



Ship pictures should be 640 x 160 pixels, otherwise it will be cropped, jpg or bmp format.

Hope this helps.

On the subject of editing graphics, I changed my map colors to match (in part) those used on NOAA navigational charts in the United States. It gives a good "feel" for the map and is easy on the eye.
