Well, it does a few things. For one thing, when ever one of your buddies is online, their name will have a "+" by it. It just makes them stand out a bit more in the big mess of names at the bottom of the page. Its also good for PMs. all yo...  [Read More]

AH! I see. I never played with the file, but I think I was basically correct. Sinse you can only have a max of 10 ground units at a time, this number tells the game how the unit counts against the pop cap for the battle. When you made it 10, you fil...  [Read More]

Population value is how many units it counts as towards the population cap. Its why the capital ships count as more than one unit. If you changed it to 50, you would only be able to have a few units before you ran out of space....  [Read More]

I think I may know what the problem is. Were you trying to edit "SQUADRONS.xml?" If you edit a squadron, like the X-Wings, the game still considers each X-Wing a unit in itself. Try editing the files "SPACEUNITSFIGHTERS," "G...  [Read More]

You can reskin the icon, but adding the new icon and keeping the old one, we can not do. (unless someone figured it out and didn't tell me.) Basically, all you can do at this point is give existing units a new icon by replacing/reskinning the previo...  [Read More]

Actually, to clairify my other post, we can reskin the icons. The problem is adding new ones. You can also reskin any of the ships. I was trying to make a new X-Wing squad with a different skin and icon. How to point the game to this is still unknown...  [Read More]

The icons are in one MASSIVE 8MB tga file. Its located in the textures meg. The problem is that there is a MTD file that tells the game exactly where to look in the tga for the icon. As of now there is no way to edit the MTD. Considering that PG ac...  [Read More]
