The AI design templates are in the designTemplates folder, and fairly intuitive. Checking my Legends, it seems that these may be new.

If you are speaking saved designs, I have no clue :)

I did wonder that, did ask but not had any real feedback on the subject. I think the new design templates may have changed things internally and it was removed, I thought it was great for fine tuning the AI for designs when I first started getting into creating designs.

As Bingeling said the new Shadows modding guide will be available "next week"

Some things have changed for modding in Shadows versus Legends, so I would not expect Legends mods to work without changes.

Please be patient

Thanks

Shadows now uses design template files to give very detailed control over all designs. You can look in the designTemplates folder to see the current ones.

These are fairly self-explanatory, but we'll provide comprehensive info in the new modding guide for Shadows next week.

Thanks
