Unused ships?

[Mantis]

While checking out the model converter, I stumbled upon the ships file, and saw several ship types (with textures). Exactly what are these ships?

[zaroba]

what are the filenames of them so we can tell you?

there probably galaxy ships.

ship12.atm, with the radar dish that spins the wrong way

ship13.atm, the strange looking tri wing one, if it is a ship?

ship14.atm, the one in the right foreground of the universal logo

ship15.atm, the freighter looking one





I don't know much about design, scripting etc etc, so ........

ship12.atm, with the radar dish that spins the wrong way

Old interplanetary shuttle model

ship13.atm, the strange looking tri wing one, if it is a ship?

Just awful.

ship14.atm, the one in the right foreground of the universal logo

Old interplanetary shuttle model. Actually a robocrow model that's used on some worlds.

ship15.atm, the freighter looking one

Old cargo transport model.

Basically they're in there either because they're models we've made, that have been replaced, but we may use them for something in the future; or because we've forgotten to remove them. The triwing thing is nothing to do with me, however :]

Another question......... is it possible for me to use the texture files in the ships folder with the robo-crows? Or will that screw something up?

You can copy and paste any type of texture from any model use to any other...just make sure if you make any changes to it that you give it a new (and sufficiently unique) name so there isn't any chance of a different files with the same name.

It's best not to make any changes to the game's original textures/model files without making some sort of the backup.
