A question to spur this topic. How much does D3 look for in the way of edits of the program? (If you can understand that) How do you change the reticule?!? Does anybody have the D3-SDK file for scripting?

Sigh. The best way is to just learn along the way. Everything you need to get started is probably at the Tutorials located at GameEdit. D3SDK is also available at GameEdit. As for reticles, well you have to have a good Graphic program such as Photoshop or cheaper Paint Shop Pro - All images must be created in Targa TGA format, and usually you have to use a prefixed size. Best thing is to find a Reticle MOD on Planet Descent and compare it, that way you have a point to reference, rather than digging for the appropiate data beforehand. Simple things are a lot easier to change than hard-code scripts.

First I have every tool that has ever been made for D3. Robo a lil of both. Now to the question... I'm trying to create new ships and I can't get verts close enough together, so do you guys build a big model and shrink it or... next how do you select the Magnum or other ships in new levels? Does it have something to do with breafings or...

One way to make a ship is to make it big then shrink it, yes.

To do with selecting the Magnum/Phoenix - you have to make an initial level that activates the ships. You can't pick it straight away. I'm too tired to explain it right now...
