Moddability question. . .

[Elvisman2001]

Been out of the loop and just wanted to catch up.

Is it possible to add more ships to the game on our own? Or, can we just replace existing ships? I guess this would fall under being able to add custom component ship parts. If not, can this be added in? I would like to be able to add more to the game and not replace things.

Can we add custom cockpits for each type of frame? Or are we stuck with one for all? If we are, can this functionality be added to the game?

can the existing cockpit frame be made thinner? I find it too large for my tastes. I don't want it gone all together. . . just thinner.

If I think of more, i will post it here.

You can change existing frames and parts.
You can build different cockpits for each frames.
You can't edit existing cockpit strut.


But I don't know details. Just predictions. Legends is a new game, pls wait for "customizing kit" to modding details about Legends.

For Renegades, pls check out my cockpits and ship mods in the modding section.

Welcome. I hope I can find modders among new players to build something together.

I would love to do some custom work. I have used Photoshop every day for the last 8 years. It's what i do for a living. While my work consists of Digital Photo retouching/correction/special effects, I think i could come up with some nice textures and what not.
I owned Renegades as well and never really got into it due to lack of time. But, with the economy down, i am having more time on my hands these days. luckily, I am in a position to where the economy would really have to hit rock bottom to affect me much. So, i look forward to the customizing kit and being able to toy around with it and possibly get with some people to do a joint venture.

I am using Maya and Max since 1994.

May be together we can do something for Legends.

See you soon.

i just had a look at your cockpits. They look GREAT!
I would love to have a different cockpit for each frame one can attach to a ship. To me, that would give more of a sense of actually flying a different ship.
Looks to em like you need no help. Great work! Can't wait to see that kit get released.

On another note, is there anyway to have the server "stream" custom content to connecting players? Or do they have to go and download it and install it themselves?
I thought i read where Rami was making some kind of app that would do this for galactic maps? maybe i read wrong? And that it would overwrite but restore the original map some which way? I wonder if this could also be done for various other things like sound, music, cockpits, textures, etc?

I'm afraid they have to download it themselves, it would take too much bandwidth and cause lag for other players.

The Renegades customisation kit, available here, should work with Evochron Legends as well. Some new options might be available, but for those, we'll have to wait for the Legends CK.
