You can put your custom ships in your C:\Program Files\Continuum\graphics directory, overwriting the standard ones.
Now if you are in a zone that doesn't use custom provided ships through a LVZ then you should see your own custom ships (like TW).

any program can open them, bm2 files are bmp files , you can actually rename it to bmp if it doesn't want to open in a particular program

Or if you just want to overwrite another zones graphics put the new ones in the zone's own folder instead of the general graphics folder. It should look something like "cont\Zones\SSCU 17th Parallel".

| Wouldn't the client redownload and overwrite the files if it finds that the local files are different, Smong? (when entering the arena/server) |

| wiki wrote: | | Note that files included by themselves (not within an LVZ) will take precedence over ones inside an LVZ. This also means that a user can place a file (say, ship1.bm2) in a zone's folder and it will override any custom ship graphics the zone uses. |
I just added that on the wiki to LVZ.
(PS: MGB, how about an automatic wiki link thing? I'd love to be able to write [[LVZ]] and have it link.)

Wouldnt that be really hard to implement?
By typing [[ ]] it would have to search the word on the wiki site, then get a link and insert it all by itself...
Hmm, well i guess its not that hard..lol |

I did give that a try a while ago, but the method to do Wiki links is really shitty in the code, and would require loading almost all the includes from MediaWiki just for it.
If someone knows of a simple function/sql calls for it, I'll throw it in. |

Well cont doesn't unpack the lvz to your file system anymore, so it works with cont 38/39pr1. Before that I had to keep pasting an edited mines graphic into a certain zones folder because they thought it would be a good idea to make them invisible. Hmm, I could have just set it to read only in hind sight. |

One thing to note say you plop blah.bmp into your zone and use levelfiles=blah.bmp. Even if you were to remove the entry from levelfiles the bmp still overrides the defaults. Or at least I used to have that issue when running Omega Fire. That's why I tell everyone to use LVZ.

It wouldn't have to detect whether the page is there. Just simply transforming [[LVZ]] into LVZ would be fine with me. |
