Would anyone like to help make a faction?
« on: September 05, 2017, 07:49:32 AM »

Hi, I'm still fairly new to Starsector but I see all these faction mods and think, why not give it a go right? Only problem being, I don't understand coding in any aspect even when I look at the files myself. So I'm gonna stick it out there and ask, is anyone willing to help or at least show me the basics of the coding?

Here's a bit of my previous work.

try out ezfaction: http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=12504.0

No coding required to create a star system and markets. You still have to setup the hull and variants for each of your ships. There are tutorials for that under modding resources. There is quite a bit of work to do for every ship you add. I'd recommend you start with only one ship and avoid adding custom weapons and missions if you don't know java.

In addition, you have to know how to structure your mod folder and create a mod_info.json for your mod.
