after youve made your b-dat
go into c drive>program files>the universal> data> and replace the "buildings dat" with the one youve made.

after youve succesfully done this, you should be able to go into you world and have the list of buildable buildings when you click on the building icon.

next step, open your client window, click on "buildings" under tools i beleive.
that will show the list of builings youve created. open your data folder and click models>buildings and put a bunch of building models and textures into that folder.

go back into your client window and get into the buildings tool. click on the name of a building and a button should appear in the bottom right part of the screen "change model" click there and it will take you to a list of the models and textures in the data>models>buildings file double click on the model and texture you want for the building you highlighted. and youve succesfully uploaded a model for a building :)

to reset yourself as the owner of the world go into the server config txt which is in the universal file or data file.
and there should be a line there:
"OWNER=Kona123" (or whatever the exact spelling of your name on planets is)
put your name as the owner and save it

that should make the server recognize you as the planetowner next time you log in.

as for your second problem, sounds like a *settings>economy settings may have been tweaked.

you'll have to close and reopen the server after editing the server config to get it to relaod and recognize you when you log in. but once you have owner powers if you change the config, you can just type *reloadconfig to reload it.
