How can I swap the cockpit graphics?

Post by Plasteel »

Hello there,
I've got one particular problem. I find a Dralthi cockpit rather dull, because it was taken from WC1 (which was cool in WC1 extra missions, but not in PR - it just doesn't fit according to me). The option I guess would be putting to this game a Dralthi cockpit from WC Armada or Academy (same as some other cockpits taken from those games and put in PR).

But still, now I wish to swap salthi cockpit to replace Dralthi's and Gothri's cockpits with it. How can i do it. I've meddled with cockpit files in cockpit directories - but the best thing I've managed (after replacing all files and then renaming them to fit the original file names) was the situation, when only something like HUD with indicators from wanted craft appeared, however the cockpit remained invisible. What shall I do?

thanks in advance...

You can swap the cockpit file used by editing units.csv.
Open it up in a spreadsheet editor like Excel or OpenOffice Calc.
You can also use GAlex's custom CSV Editor utility.

Find the row of the unit you want to modify, and the column for cockpit. Edit to your liking, and save.
