| + | |
| − | are wanting to import. And on left select the
| + | |
| − | model you want to replace. And click on import.
| + | |
| − | And save. <BR><BR>NOTE; You may get a warning

| − | phaser slot.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> <BR>(Note:
| + | |
| − | this all works the same if tring to put 3 models
| + | |
| − | on same phaser slot). <BR><BR>Open UE and open
| + | |
| − | Ship Pack you want to use. (see images above)
| + | |
| − | <BR><BR>Before we begin just some rules;
| + | |
| − | <BR><BR>No model can share a phaser slot with
| + | |
| − | any Vanilla models. There phaser slot numbers
| + | |
| − | are random so errors would be common.
| + | |
| − | <BR><BR>Before a ship can be imported both
| + | |
| − | models (imported model and model selected to
| + | |
| − | share phaser slot) must use same scale and
| + | |
| − | amount of phasers. <BR><BR>You must plan out
| + | |
| − | what models you plan on using before making any
| + | |
| − | changes. <BR><BR>Example 1; <BR>Using Oberth we
| + | |
| − | just added this will be the slot that will be
| + | |
| − | used for next model imported and will share
| + | |
| − | phaser slot. <BR><BR>click on "rename" in new
| + | |
| − | window input new prefix for model (if 2 models
| + | |
| − | on same slot use 2 characters like "H1" here)
| + | |
| − | (if 3 models on same slot use 1 characters like
| + | |
| − | "H") <BR>
| + | |
| − | <img src="http://www.armadafleetcommand.com/botf/files/images/shiptutorial/64181539ik4.jpg" width="598" height="478" /><BR>
| + | |
| − | <BR><BR>Now you will see under renamed model
| + | |
| − | "H1" and "Not used" spot named "H1_"
| + | |
| − | <BR><BR>Next, I need the scale model to match
| + | |
| − | scale for both models. With the first model of
| + | |
| − | shared phaser slot selected click on "edit
| + | |
| − | Scale" In new window change scale to the same as
| + | |
| − | model you plan on importing from Ship Pack.
| + | |

| + | |
| − | <img src="http://www.armadafleetcommand.com/botf/files/images/shiptutorial/71018141zv5.jpg" width="600" height="476" /><BR>
| + | |
| − | <BR><BR>Now that phasers amount and scale match
| + | |
| − | you can select not used spot "H1_" and model you
| + | |
| − | want to import from ship pack "HU". And click on
| + | |
| − | import. <BR>

| + | |
| − | <BR><BR>Now H1 model is in game working but H1_
| + | |
| − | model files are in game but model is not in
| + | |
| − | uses. <BR><BR>Note; you have also changed scale
| + | |
| − | of H1 model from 75% to 95% so you could change
| + | |
| − | scale as before to even out both models and
| + | |
| − | split differance to scale of 85%for both models.
