adding turrets

How can I add turrets to a ship, by switching an existing hardpoint to one ofr a turret type gun?

there are a few ways.
1. add new hardpoints(very hard to position themn on ur ship correctly)
2. change turrets mounts to wepaon mounts in ur .cmp file
3. change your running lights, and docking lights to weapon mount by making them say HpWeapon01 HpWeapon02 etc

thats how u can get weapon mounts

Thanks, but how do I edit the .cmp files? I forget how. And if I do, what lines would I add to replace existing guns with turrets?

ok well this is what u do u need the .cmp editor u know what im saying u can dl it here then u go intot he ships folder and find the ship u want, open the .cmp file for it. in there u know open up the trees and see what where open hardpoints and revoltue and sumthign else will be there if u see sumthing like hprunninglight01 u can just chnage it to hpturret01, now if u dont mind me asking what file are u trying to chnage? aslo remeber u have to make ur stuff corresponf in shiparch.ini or it will not work because the files arent reading that turretmounts are there
