well, apperentally more likely than I thought.  Here are some pics of some textures I made for the stock one.  I'm still working on getting the color right, but for now, just have a look.

The 'Admirals Sovereign' for stock Armada 2 comes with a retextured Corbomite Reflector. The one with that ship is the best (opinion).

How do I do light mapping? Anyone know? More specifically in Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0, that is what I use for texturing.

it is a sideways Smiely.  D being the mouth. 

Sorry Gamer, my textureing ability's are somewhat limited.  I'm not even sure if a light map is what I think.  Any way, Sorry, you might have to wate for tyler, He might be able to help.

I don't know how to use Photoshop, since I only use TGATool (MW Graphics).

If you meant how to get it to light up; anything black in the alpha channel doesn't light up, anything white does and if the white gradually fades out, so does the light.

Oh, Ok. It is just that Adobe has these lighting layers and I was wondering if that would be the light map. I usually put a completely transparent layer assuming that would be its alphachannel since Adobe doesn't list an 'Alpha' layering.

Alright... this one is a bit more swayed towards FO. I was wondering if I were to program fighters... how do I do the following...

1] Define the quantity of fighters
2] Define Multiple Weapons for the Fighters
3] Define Fighter flight pattern
4] Scale the fighters
5] Define health values of fighter craft

Can fighters even have multiple weapons? I thought they themselves were considered the weapon.

Open an existing fighter and see what code is there.

The only way of getting multiple weapons on a fighter that I know of is to use a double-shot sprite, like the Pulse Turret uses.

Ok... that answers most... though with scaleing... would scaling be in the same proportion as in Stock A2? Because with A1 models that I put in A2 the scale has do be redefined because of a differing scaling amount.
