According to Optec, the cost would just be ignored. Not that a cost of 0 wouldn't be ignored anyway, though.

PLease someone tell me how to get this texture on my galaxy class in game! I even went back and downloaded the old 3.1 version and everything!:(

If the Sod and Textures are in the correct folders, it should show up fine in-game.

I found the textures as part of a rar file in the original post, but I think my problem is that I must not have the right sod file.

I jumped into Map editor and try adding a galaxy class as as warp in, but it still looks like the same old, not the beautiful looking upgrade in the JPEGs in the original post.

Is there a different sod file I need to replace it with, or am I way off base here. The texture glow files and fvent files are in the right place in the texture folder, but the textures don't seem to change.

Where am I going wrong?!

Thank you for your patience and all the wonderful work on this project.

A new Sod is needed, that's the model used by the game and the textures used are assigned in it. The download should have the right Sods in it.

EDIT: Actually, did you download the file in the external link or the one attached at the bottom of the post? The sod is in the attached file.

I downloaded them both! But in the attached file all I found was a bitmap folder with just one image of a galaxy class ship I could view and one image I couldn't view. Not sod files! That must be my problem eh!?

I just downloaded the file and it said it's corrupted, so I guess the problem was it wasn't extracting.

Try it again, I've replaced the file.

This file seems much more robust thank you so much! 

I see there is a bit of editing with sprite files and some such things I will be sure to post again if I have any more problems.

Good thing you were on when I came here feeling sad and shot down about not figuring this out! Thanks again Tyler!

OK So onto the next problem haha!

So the extraxtion seemed to go fine, the galaxy class is now changed. But it looks much more white, and almost more armada 2 style, rather than like in the images as part of the original post. I feel like the textures may not be the right ones to match the jpegs?

Could that be a possible mistake? I'm not sure, but I just know the textures I installed are the same ones as the refit from those images!

Hmmm...

Can you attach an ingame screenshot of them? The color of a ship can get lighter or darker based on map lighting.
