Well, the selection SOD files have to be named select_racename, that is the name of the odf file. So, my Tholian one is "select_species8472.sod"
The SOD files themselves are in fact a blank plane with a sprite referenced. I found it easier to copy an existing file and alter it with a hex editor to change the sprite it references. So for example, my Tholian one (select_species8472.sod) references "selallTholianEmpire", then in the fleetops.spr file, I have this
- Code: Select all
selectall_Tholian select_all_Tholian 0 0 512 512
@sprite_node selallTholianEmpire selectall_Tholian const (80,80) (1,1,1) billboard
select_all_Tholian being the tga file.
