New Ship - Dagger Elite Class - Please Help

I have created the Dagger Elite class ship, 6800 armour, 35 nano bots, 65 shield, 75 cargo 146 maximum speed + thruster around 266 6 weapon hard points 1 gun turret, Now the problem.... I want to send it to somone but what files do i need to send. I know the misc.ini engine_equip.ini, shiparch.ini and the market_ships, but I also changed the ships info using fled_ids but what files do I have to send to incorperate that, and have i missed any of the others.... Thanks

OK... if you've got FLMM, then just zip up the modified ini files and rename the file *.flmod ... that's a new ending for FLMM (instructions are in the menu btw) If you don't have FLMM, then go to the utilities board and DL the latest version!

Ok... i'm not sure i'm clear on what you're asking. If you're simply modifying every dagger in the game then you should keep the same ship id and everything (in the ini files)... if you're going to clone the dagger and alter it then you should still keep the id numbers the same *UNLESS* you've also altered the name strings in the dll files... in which case you should use the id numbers that you generate with the utility for dlls available in the downloads section. There's a good tutorial at another forum which is available through a link in the tutorial forum if you would like to try your hand at modding name strings. If you do alter dlls, follow the FLMM directions for file placement... otherwise you might crash the game or simply have unchanged names. Anymore questions i'll be happy to point you in the right direction!

sorry about this, Im not explaining myself. When you mentioned ID's I have just realised there are 3 sets of ID's in shiparch alone. Sorry. I meant I have re written the description of the dagger fighter. Its no called dagger elite class, and Ihave added the new guns / armour rating / etc, etc and a new description. So when you click to buy this ship now you get the new description in the bottom left hand corner, and all the ship details are correct in the bottom right. If I send somone just the ini files mentioned earlier, this information wont appear when someone else uses the mod. What files do I have to send with my mod so the description of the ship I have modified is correct. Sorry about confusing you!
