    • Need Help With Shipyard Pictures


      Sorry the first time I wrote this I was in a rush, but I have rewritten my question.

      My question is to do with ship graphics in the 32x size range. Do I need all the ships in 32x32 sized or only one big one for the shipyard (ID#5160 or somthing like that)

      If I only need to make the big one for the shipyard, how do I make this... does it matter how the ships are arranged and also its 6 along right?

      ID #5100, I think. Obviously, not all ships will need thumbnails, only the ones that the player is allowed to buy. If you are creating a total conversion then you may want to use one big picture, but otherwise I'd suggest that you use loose thumbnails instead.

      In EVO it's 8x6, but you should use an 8x8 grid. It is very important how you arrange the ships on the grid. Ship #128 gets square 1,1 (first square, first row), ship #129 gets square 2,1 (second square, first row), ship #136 gets square 1,2 (first square, second row) etc. This really is quite a pain to patch together manually.
