LVZ/LVL Questions - Uploading custom ships to my zone General Shadow - Fri Oct 23, 2009 8:00 am Post subject: Uploading custom ships to my zone
I know how to make ini and lvz files, but what code do i have in the ini file to place my custom ships so that they are the new ships? And how can I make it so that all my ships are in the same lvz file. I already have the ships rotated as well.

You can essentially replace any graphic in your Continuum folder as long as the name is the same. The file extension (bmp, bm2, png...) is of no importance.
After you build the lvz, don't forget to add it to your zone, and to the arena settings (I think LevelFiles=myfilename.lvz)

Alright, I got it working. Thanks.

You can also replace the ships you see in the continuum menu for your zone (but it can be disabled in the continuum settings).
Create a ships.bm2 file, but place it out of a lvz. So in subgame / asss your arena settings would look something like:
LevelFiles = bla.lvz,something.lvz,ships.bm2
You could also create a shipinfo.dat file to change the names of the ships both in-game and in the menu
