  • How do I make myself a Masters of Orion mod?

    I have no idea how to mod. I tried looking at the links and alot of the links I click on, Google says "sorry link no longer exsits".

    So I am not shure if I am in the correct area to ask, but I would like to know how to mod this game. Do I just use the editor to change things?

    How do I make new units? How do I make new pictures? Can anyone post a valid link on how to mod this game? I am out of work for over a year, so maybe trying to mod this game will take my mind of things right now.

    What did I say about the old server and the settler4 prefixing. Well, anyway, the section is now here:

    You use a zexz editor to edit the text files and the slic files.

    For units you add a new unit entry in the units.txt. For pictures, you need a drawing software like Paint Shop Pro, well something with that you can edit targa and tiff files. Maybe you can start with a trial version or use a free drawing program.

      Ah yes, I totally forgot about the "settler4" prefexing. So that applies to everything then? I will make shure I do that next time. Thanks for the reminder.

      Thanks for the help. I will try it and see if my lil ole brain can handle it. I will look for this zexz editor. Hopefully I can understand it.

        Can you give me a link to a zexz editor? I googled it, and some porn show up. So I want to make shure I am using the correct one because I am also getting hex editor, and stuff for corel and no zexz is showing up.

          zexz-editor

          This is just a typo: "z" and "t" are neighbors on the german keyboard.

          Here you can find a text-editor suitable for modding CTP2.

              I've been doing some work on this mod. I got a few of the tiles made.

              The hard one was some planet with what looked like a red/black cross written on it. But I got it. The rest should be easy now.
