ship images or a .cfg file?

-------

if you mean a .cfg file, just rename it to the arena you'd like the settings to be used in and upload it ("*putfile arenaname.cfg" if you're sysop - or get a sysop to do it for you) - "server.cfg" is for public arenas

-------

if you mean images, you will need the lvztoolkit.zip

you want to make a text file like so

Quote:

outfile=whatever.lvz

file=ships.bm2

or perhaps

Quote:

outfile=whatever.lvz

file=ships.bm2
file=wbroll.bm2
file=jvroll.bm2
file=sproll.bm2
file=lvroll.bm2
file=teroll.bm2
file=weroll.bm2
file=nwroll.bm2
file=shroll.bm2

if you have rolling images also

file extensions can be .bm2, .bmp, .gif, .jpg or .png

whatever=whatever you want to name it
anways, you save that text file as whatever.ini and use buildlevel.exe on it - you should get a new file called whatever.lvz

upload whatever.lvz to your zone's server ("*putfile whatever.lvz" if you are a sysop - make sure whatever.lvz is in your Continuum main directory) or get some sysop to do it for you

add "Levelfiles=whatever.lvz" into the .cfg (settings file - [Misc] section) of the arena you'd like the ships to be used in [you may have to *getfile arenaname.cfg, open it in note/wordpad, add "levelfiles=whatever.lvz", save changes and *putfile arenaname.cfg"]

that should do it
