Tip: if you don't specify bounds (or specify empty bounds, I forget which), the game will use a circular collision area based on the collisionRadius.

As to the coordinate system, I forget exactly what it is It's x,y w/ the ship facing to the right (i.e. towards 0 degrees). The origin might be at the middle of the sprite, or at the rotation center of the ship.


As you might have guessed, there is a ship editor (which is the reason I don't have to remember this anymore). It's not quite ready for prime time, but at some point we'll polish it up and release it.

*** YEH SPOILERS

I could be wrong, but aren't there already several ship editors? Or are you talking more of a all-in-one modding tool?

Either one would be nice.

It was very interesting to see the development of the Junk Pirates, and then some ships I've never seen before.  Ah, I enjoyed those old days where there weren't any modding programs and where every new ship counted a lot in our hearts.  My personal favorite was the "atlas v2," I'd like to see tha sucker in my own game.

Psst....you still haven't done this Alex!

I made a thread about getting custom ships to be added to the existing supply convoys, and I'm not sure whether it worked or not but I never had a chance to figure out - my save files for testing wouldn't load because my script file was causing errors with a tritach supply convoy even though the script modified the Hegemony supply convoy. I can't not load the save until after some arbitrary point in time or event in a save, then the error starts to occur. Thus I can't test for if it's working at all because by the time a hegemony supply convoy arrives I can't load my save again. Here is my HegemonyConvoySpawnPoint code:

Code

package data.scripts.world.corvus;

import java.util.List;

import com.fs.starfarer.api.Global;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.Script;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.CampaignFleetAPI;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.CargoAPI;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.FleetAssignment;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.LocationAPI;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.SectorAPI;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.SectorEntityToken;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.fleet.FleetMemberType;

import data.scripts.world.BaseSpawnPoint;
import data.scripts.world.HegemonyConvoySpawnPoint;

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
//public class HegemonyConvoySpawnPoint extends BaseSpawnPoint
public class HegemonyConvoySpawnPointShipPack extends HegemonyConvoySpawnPoint
{

	private static String [] ships = 
	{ 
		"sentinel_Hull",
		"buffalob_Hull",
		"manta_Hull",
		"crow_Hull",
		"cobra_Hull",
		"lance_Hull",
	};
}

And yes, I did call one of my ships lance...it was before I knew about the other ship by the same name.

I think it would be an actual in-game editor. All official and everything.

Oh man, that would be pretty cool.

I agree!  Though it'd be better to release the modding tool after 1.00

Why is that? Well, beyond feelings of perfectionism.

I am currently working on a fighter wing, but I realized that I have no idea how to get weapons on them because fighters can't be refitted and other fighters come with weapons on them so how can I add weapons to my fighters?

Have you tried using Trylobot's Editor?  If you have, it's the same process with fighters as any other ship, just that you skip out on the .cvs editing (I find it easier to do that y hand, without the editor for fighters).

I use rebull and Trylobots editor because I like things on both of them, and I don't use his .cvs I like to do it on excel or open office I find it much easier. But with any other ship I can just add them to the game and give them weapons in game I can not do that with fighters due to the face that they can not be refitted.

Well...what do you want to do? change the existing weapons on a stock fighter?

[DarkMajor21]

No make a completely new fighter from scratch.

No make a completely new fighter from scratch.

Well, do the same thing with any other ship, press 2 to add weapons in Trylobot's editor.  Edit the ship_data.cvs and the wing_data.cvs. Easy as that....I don't understand what's so hard.
