It's not trimmed down - those texel operations are likely cheaper than computing an extra pair of coordinates on the CPU, though neither is much to worry about.
Oh; I figured you were just magically resizing it down to the nearest un-clear pixel +1 when building the display list for each quad so it was just a few texels per quad.

Anyhow, you're obviously right, the game's not exactly choking on draw calls.  It just seems weird to me after all these years of working on stuff where texture space / memory / etc. was considered to be a really big deal :)

Trylobot, about your editor, is it possible for you to add a scrolling feature to the weapon group assignment list? because you can't see what you are doing if your ship has more than 51 weapons, anything above that number will be outside the editor window.  ;)

Yes - but in the meantime, increase your resolution in the settings file, and likewise in the settings file reduce your font size

Trylobot, is the custom engine feature broken? When I add a custom engine myself I'm having no problems, but when I do it through the editor, it gives me a [type] missing error.

Quote
Fatal: Key [type] is required

editor:
Quote
"style": "CUSTOM",
      "styleSpec": {
        "type_": "GLOW",
        "engineColor": [
          100,
          200,
          150,
          100
        ],
        "contrailColor": [
          100,
          200,
          150,
          100
        ],
        "contrailParticleSizeMult": 0.5,
        "contrailParticleDuration": 0.5,
        "contrailMaxSpeedMult": 0.5,
        "contrailAngularVelocityMult": 0.5
      },
      "width": 79.0
    }
  ],

Type is set to "GLOW". Is it perhaps the underscore after "type_": ?
In my custom engines I don't have an underscore after "type":

mine:
Quote
"style":"CUSTOM",
               "styleSpec":{
                  #"engineColor":[150,255,200,200],
                  "engineColor":[150,255,200,200],
                  "contrailParticleSizeMult":0,
                  "contrailParticleDuration":0,
                  "contrailMaxSpeedMult":0.1f,
                  "contrailAngularVelocityMult":0f,
                  "contrailColor":[150,255,200,200],
                  "type":"GLOW" # GLOW or SMOKE
               },
      "width": 10.0
    },
    {
      "angle": 180.0,
      "contrailSize": 30.0,
      "length": 30.0,
      "location": [
        -183.0,
        37.0
      ],

Should have put this in the last comment, but can you also add so that you can add a bound between 2 existing bounds? so you wont have to remove half the ship worth of bounds for a new bound you want somewhere halfway on the ship.

And the weapon modes and more options really helped allot, keep up the good work man.

projectile/beam settings and editor

barrel and a the main part displayed simultaneously,

marker for the recoil

projectile offsets

weapon_data.csv editor

I'll see if I can get an update together this weekend. Keep the bug reports and feature requests coming; your feedback is what keeps this interesting for me :D

other than the scrolling of lists, (I have the problem when it comes to the sheer number of ships I have in the csv, as I tend to pick one with similar stats to what I'm needing then tweak accordingly)

Trylobot, I wanted to thank you yet again for your amazingly full-featured ship editor. In all seriousness, if it did not exist I am unsure I would have returned to this game before it was much closer to version 1.0. To me, the moddability of a game is more than half of the interest it offers, and your program makes such modding vastly easier. Thanks for your persistence and hard work on our behalf!

Yeah, it's awesome.  Haven't messed with the nascent gun editor yet; so long as it shows the barrels / missiles and the main turret and allows us to define the barrel positions / angles, it's pretty much golden, most of the other stuff is easy to do.
