Post subject: Sizing ships.
If I were to have these kind of sizes for ships(small, med, large, with medium being standard size):

Warbird::::Med
Javelin:::::Small
Spider::::::Med
Leviathan::Large
Terrier:::::Small
Weasel:::::Small
Lancaster::Med
Shark::::::Large

How would I construct the smaller ships' areas on the ships.bm2 even though there are larger ships? Would I just proportion it to the largest ship, center the smaller ships, and then set radius's?

TIA

ya, just center the smaller images over solid black 36 x 36 pixel squares where the ships go

If you use separate ship#.bm2's you may be able to save on filesize (each .bm2 with it's own palette and just the right size).

So instead of uploading a ships.bm2, I have to upload ship1.bm2 all the way through ship8.bm2? Are these the rolling files or no?

No, they are not the rolling files, and you don't have to worry about that. Continuum disables rollings for ships that are loaded directly via a file (ship1.bm2) and does not contain the extra wbroll.bm2 files, for example.
