1. I don't really know what you are asking. sorry.

2. You can go to the folder called
Stranded II/mods/Stranded 2/gfx/

Thats where all the textures are saved. YOu can then edit them using whatever image editor you want to use. (I like Paint.NET)

3. Good job.

4. Try looking at the stranded 2 official site. There is a list of all the different scripting commands and a simple intro to scripting tutorial.

Hope that helps!

1. Oh I see. I don't know. You will have to ask an admin or something. I can see how that would be good though.

2. OH I see. um. I think its in the model itself. You need to edit the actual 3d model... that or make a new skin with the same name and make the definitions of the object or unit pick up its model from wherever you have saved the skin. (I made a new folder in the gfx folder for that purpose. Just make sure the model and skin are saved in the same spot.)

4. Again, best ask someone with more authority.

1: I made a buildings tree for all of the normal buildings, so you can see how to get each one. Is that something that I could post?

2: In the folders, I can't find where a unit uses it's skin. I want to be able to change that, but I can't find how, if it's possible.

Blender can run .b3d files?! I knew about 3ds but not these!

I think there's a "Guide to Stranded II" where this would fit in perfectly, but the idea is not new. If you take a look at my Stranded II Mod Viewer, it already has this functionality, albeit in a treeview form, but the reason I did this is because the construction tree in the mod viewer is not simply a piece of information stored and displayed, it's created dynamically as you load a mod, so my mod viewer will show you the construction tree of any mod, not just the standard Stranded II.
I think my mod viewer may be very helpful to your future modding. Have a look and let me know what you think.



This is a little tricky... You have to find out what images the model is using for texturing and this isn't scripted in game or in plain text, this is actually stored as a relational link in the model itself. You would have to open the model in some form of model viewer/editor and find where it links to the textures and see what the filename(s) are. However, once you have this info, then you can simply copy the model and textures into another folder and edit the textures.

It seems like you have all the rest covered.

1: That sounds very cool... I think since there is such a thing I won't think about posting a basic image. Where can I find it?

1.Useless , The building tree isn't hard , you just build shit to get more shit , there's no certain path

2.in the GFX folder , Just look under the name of the Gfx , and it should tell you the Name of the Unit it's linked to

3.That Flags

4.There's a Scripting Tutorial on the Stranded II website , it should answer most of your questions

there is already a great repository of information on the main website

Shagabash, it seems you have a lot of love for this game and a strong will to help other people become more involved in development. If you have any problems with my application or if there is any way I can help with scripting or your further enducation in developing Stranded II modifications, feel free to message me. I visit (usually) at least once a day and I am more than happy to help people who want to be helped.
