Request - Someone to Adopt Beyond the Sector
« on: June 13, 2021, 12:46:18 AM »

Possibly the coolest mod idea i've seen, but one with a number of bugs and incomplete implementation. and going by months of silence from the author, one that has likely been abandoned. so figured i'd toss the idea out into the nether, see if anyone with some skills hears and is interested.

also, alex, if yer looking to toss in some post end game content; this mod concept lends to functionally endless playability on a single save.

From cursory glance (topic and mod itself) there does not seem to be any source available so adopting it is not possible - we are looking at full re-implementation.

Jars are essentially zip files with a different extension. They have compiled source files (.class) which can be decompiled. Decompilation is not 100% accurate though. Here's a quick and dirty decompilation using jd-gui: https://we.tl/t-PE9xbY88w0

If you wanna know, Kentington's still alive, but he's working on Save Our Ship 2, the Rimworld mod and in a new game alongside the Radian Helix team (The same guys as Fallout: New California/Project Brazil).

Bummer that the mod's abandoned.  @Stormy Fairweather if you really want another modder to pick this one up, successfully convincing the original mod owner to open-source it would certainly lower the cost of another person fixing it.

if you can get with him and orchestrate a meeting of some minds we would all love you for it
