Creating new ship, I am confused

[mithrandir1984cz]

Hello,

I compiled new xorg which finally support DRI on my video card, so I can finally play vegastrike again, huray!

After day of playing I decided (not for first time) to create my ship.

I created model, texturerized, converted to xmesh/xunit file... and what now?

I suppose I should convert xmesh now in bfxm using some mesher utitlity which is not included in vs. Is there some release or I should download it from cvs? There is no makefile how to compile them?

After (maybe before) I converted it, I should define mount type for vs tags in model (Good idea, add name attributes for Mount element like.

Code: Select all

<Mount name="tag_m_14"

How I do this?

Then (I guess) I have to modify unit.csv.

See HowTo:Add Ships on the VS Wiki.
Mesher can be found in /bin/, I believe (although i'm not sure what to do under linux).

[michal@localhost ~]$ cd /usr/games/vegastrike/
[michal@localhost vegastrike]$ ls bin/
setup soundserver vegastrike vegastrike.sh vsinstall.sh
[michal@localhost vegastrike]$

I can't se mesher there

Solution for linux users:

download linux_vegastrike-cvs.sh, go to the vegastrike directory:

./configure
make mesher

This should create binary in vegastrike/ directory
