Just have to ask: where do you set the coordinates for the missile when it comes out of the barrel? mine always comes out at the sides of the barrel.

Just have to ask: where do you set the coordinates for the missile when it comes out of the barrel? mine always comes out at the sides of the barrel.

Firstly, you need to set the center of the missile sprite in your missile's .proj file.  Notice how the center is exactly half my sprite's size (in pixels):

Code
	"size":[30,63],	
"center":[15,31.5],

Then in the launchers weapon (.wpn) file, you set the missile offset.  This is where the missile sits on the launcher:

Code
	"hardpointOffsets":[2, 0],
"turretOffsets":[2, 0],

Every two numbers acts as an y,x coordinate pair. For more missiles, such as on an SRM launcher, you'd add more sets:

Code
	"hardpointOffsets":[8, 24, 8, 8, 8, -8, 8, -24],
"turretOffsets":[8, 24, 8, 8, 8, -8, 8, -24],

This above shows a launcher with 4 missiles on it.  M1 at [8, 24], M2 at [8, 8], M3 at [8, -8], and M4 at [8, -24].  hardpointOffsets and turretOffsets can be set separately as you can set different sprites depending on whether the launcher is placed in a turret slot or hardpoint slot.  In my example, the launcher sprites are the same, so the offsets are also the same.

You can use trylobot's ship editor and upload the missile sprite, and find the cords for everything there. That's how I get em, if you're still having trouble finding em

MissilesInc v1.01 is up!  It includes a number of smaller changes and utilizes the new turrets.  The Piranha and Rapier aren't in yet, as I haven't had time to play test them, but they'll be added soon, along with a Streaker turret and a few more systems.

Just have to say that those lancer torpedoes look way bigger than thosr turrets nearby, which are supposed to hold it.

I just finished some VLS tubes a minute ago. Going to slap them on the UNSC ships from halo I got here. Anyway, though somebody in a missile thread could use 'em.

   


And maybe a little something to deal with them, too.

Any chance you could do missiles and lauchers that would retain TimCORP art in some way? ^___^

MissilesInc updated to v1.04, includes the Federation Antares-class Battlecruiser and a number of balance changes to bring MissilesInc more in line with vanilla SF.

@Upgradecap, it takes a lot of time to make sprites and balance things, so I won't specifically be doing work for other mods.  I will be making sprites in a number of themes; perhaps some of them will work for you.

My thoughts exactly.

BTW: you made the ship yourself? Good work :)

EDIT: i have copied some of your missiles into my mod, but i don't think there should be a id crash with them, since i've changed their ids.
