I am rather new to the whole plug-in developing scene, but I have come a very long way in a very short time. I have played around with making new weapons, ships systems using the games original graphics. I have even made my own twised universe with arrounf 30 very distinct ships made out of various combinations of graphics. But I want o take it a steap further and implament my own weapons graphics such as a missle or something. I Was wondering if someone could tell me how to implament the weapons graphics that I have already made for this missle.

What format is the sprite for your weapon? Do you have outfit pics as well?

Regardless of what format;

(On Mac) Copy-paste your pict/rle into your plug, making sure its ID doesn't conflict with existing sprites. Create a Spďn (also with a non-conflicting ID) and change the values of the sprite ID to the ID of your pict/rle. (rle's masks are one up from their bases) Set the size value to the size of each sprite. Use the ID of the Spďn file as your graphics ID in whatever wëap you use. (you might want to create a wëap thing first.) And you need to link your wëap to a corresponding oütf, making sure they all don't overlap any existing data.

Hey thanks a lot. Your advice really sped up the process a lot and I'm on my way to creating an intire overhall of the game. Not to mention I'm already getting better at rendering wep. graphics and I've begun construction of my first 3D ship. So thanks maybe I'll post the plug when I'm done.

Entire overhaul of the WHOLE game's graphics? Surely you don't mean that, right?

Who knows. Unlike most people, he already had rendered 3D sprites and just asked us how to put them in the game, so who knows what this guy is capable of...
