The Custom Trail Script is no longer available, in preparation for 0.9 re-release. All the Custom Trail functionalities will be baked into MagicLib; the "loose" script is as of Starsector 0.9 declared
deprecated. Up until the release of Starsector 0.9, the script is still available to use (but not available from this thread as I want to reduce the spreading of the loose script in the 0.9 modding scene as much as possible).
There are multiple reasons for migrating the script in this manner, but here are the three primary ones:
- Performance improvements for the end-user
- I can now add new content to the script more often than "each major Starsector update"
- I can now bug-fix the script, should need arise, without forcing other modders to re-write their implementations
Anyone who wants to spawn these custom trails will have to use MagicLib from this point onward. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause, but am convinced that it will overall improve this script as it can now receive ongoing support and improvement.
