Races
Adding an Alien Race to your Mod
Every race must have:
- A (race).ini file in the gamedata/races folder.
- A (race).jpg file and a (mask).ini file in the graphics/races folder.
- At least one (hull).ini file in the gamedata/hulls folder.
- At least one (ship).ini file, one (ship).tga file, and one (ship)s.png file in the graphics/ships folder.
To really flesh out your race, you might want to give them:
- custom weapons or other systems
- a quest that involves them
- a (race).ogg file in the sounds/music folder, so they'll have their own music.
Codes used in Races
A full list of the codes used for designing an alien race can be found at the (race).ini files page.
To get started, I also recommend you read the Creating An Alien Race section of the Modmaker's Guide To The Galaxy.
