Modding Carriers out of my game

[I-15]

Hey all,
How do i go about modding the technology, models, sprites, and unit stats etc for carriers and light carriers out of my game? Ie What files should i go into and what parts to remove etc.

Also i wish to mod in in the place of light carriers some AA Battleships and in the place of Normal Carriers add in some fast/light Battleships. (Sort of light hulls (less armour), Big engines and average guns (Not like battlecruisers) starting in 1942 and then a model for each year up to 1945 and then one for 1948. Any help with this would also be much appreciated.

Thanks for anyone who can help

I guess that removing the techs that enable building carriers would be enough. Just delete/ # out any carrier techs. After that, you'll probably have to go through every nations files to remove those carrier techs from them. After that, there should be no more carriers in your game.

As for the new units, I don't think that should be too hard: just study the files a bit and you'll learn how to make those new models. If you want the new models look like eg. cruisers instead of carriers, you'll have to go to gfx\map\units\bmp and modify the file names. Not too hard. (Note that it is not necessary to completely remove the carrier pics, renaming them is enough. In case you're willing to use them later on.)
