Adding the Snakemen?

[pmprog]

So, the ruleset seems to look a little different from when I was last fiddling with it. Can somebody tell me how to set up snakemen as a race I can select in the New Battle (and full game), and so I can link up to my drawing routine?

 Thanks

Races in New Battle screen are hardcoded (because they're not all implemented ), so you'd have to add them in there manually.

There are 3 things a new "alien race" needs in the ruleset:
- The "unit" entry, which defines the unit stats, behavior, etc.
- The "armor" entry, which defines the matching armor and drawing routine.
- The "alienRaces" entry, which defines the crew layouts for each race (these are already done, but you'll have to remove unimplemented units to test it).

You can probably just copy-paste an existing unit and edit it accordingly.

Excellent. Thanks

pmprog, I know you are also doing draw routines, but I was thinking I just copy-paste the unit drawing routines from Warboy's code?:

Sure I never got it all sorted anyway
