I am thinking about adding two ships to PR but I have little experiance with modding. Does anyone know of any good modding turtorials?
If so thanks!

Nice turtorials but I need to know how to add a ship into the game. I am trying to add the B2 frigate.
EDIT: And when I can find a model.

Here's a render of it: http://gutr.swrebell...s/nebb2rend.jpg

It's from Thrawn's Revenge, so talk to them about getting it.

I'll just use the one from z3rox 3.5 because it says in the readme you can use it as long as you give everybody credit.

I meant to post this earlier, but I forgot to...
Anyways, modding PR isn't quite the same as modding EaW/FoC.
I didn't get new stuff into the game when I followed the tutorials some time ago, but I just realised, that you probably MUST edit the Tech tree files too. I think I'll go test that out later today...

<DevXen> Today I was at the store and saw a Darth Vader action figure that said "Choking Hazard." It was great.

As long as you're putting it in as research and/or you want the unit to be upgradable.

Well it is not appearing ingame and I did everything right. Does anyone know how to use icons for units?

I doubt it's icon-related, as I had the same problem when I began to mod. Make sure it's in skirmish building list... If it's icon problem, try adding <Icon_Name>i_button_escort_frigate.tga</Icon_Name>; it's original Neb-B icon, so it shouldn't be a problem...

You can find one excellent tutorial here: Beginners Tutorial for FoC Mod

EDIT:
It's best to include it in GC first. Just make sure it's non-slicer, available at start at techlevel 0 and spacebase 1; then you can be sure you coded everything fine.

BTW, you created a new file for it? If so, do you have reference to it in Gameobjectfiles.xml?
