I went through all the trouble of making a nice animated MDL of a ship floating around in space, 100 frames of it, and named it anomaly99, etc... Anyway, created an anomaly file and set its model to "99" and removed all the other anomolies in the game, then started a fresh map... and it crashes. Boo. Either I'm doing something wrong or this game's wonderful mod support isn't so wonderful after all. Any suggestions? (Oh, and it doesn't crash unless the model is set to "99".)
File Name:
Drifter.mdl
Contains:
anomaly99Pal.PAL_
anomaly99.SPR1
Contains:
Anomaly99_Default_A1C100F20
Although I'm beginning to suspect that this game just doesn't like you adding NEW graphics. Replacing the old ones or using them is fine, just as long as you don't try to add new stuff...

Further annoyances.
I built my first ship model and called it Ship65, and as far as the sprite editor is concerned, everything looks fine. However, when I use the ship in the game, the build icon apparently loses its anti-aliased edges and becomes a typical 256-color image. And on the map view, the ships' edges get funky color distortions around the edges, especially when moving over nebulas and such. I'm thinking it has something to do with the palette, but I really have no idea how to fix this. Maybe someone out there has some experience with this??

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with creating mods. I would suggest to analyse how it was done in other mod packs. Some of them have nice new graphics.
I guess you have a better chance to get a valuable answer in the GC1 forums here  Link or there Link

The only other mods I can find, the on-map ships aren't anti-aliased, so they're no help at all. However, their build screen pictures look fine, which I can't figure out...
And as far as I can tell, both of those forums are just as dead as this one is.
