Where did you get your reference files?

Do you add the ship entity to the entity.manifest file in the mod?

You also need to add it to the "PlayerTech" or "PlayerPSI' or "PlayerPhase" entity file in the GameInfo Folder.

Quoting AlexKon, reply 5
I need the text version of the string file for my mod.

How do I convert the binary version from the GameInfo?

It wasn't provided in ForgeTools3.
End of AlexKon's quote

The text version of the string file is in the install folder of the game C: ( or whateever drive you have your game installed on)/ ProgramFiles / StarDockGames / Sins of a Solar Empire . There is a String folder for vanilla one for Entrenchment and one for Doplomacy. They do not need conversion, just copy them out of the install.

To convert a copy of the GameInfo folder out of the install GameInfo folder you need a converter. There are several available on this Forum.

"Sins Data converter" and "Harpo's sinstextbinner" are a couple of them. You 'll find the post's on the first couple of page's of this forum.
