Yes, you'll have to 'add back in' any data from vanilla you want to keep. I'm not planning on changing that behavior.

That's either extremely good or extremely bad for me. ;D

Well, if you feel like you lost your job, you could always make some weapon sounds for me. ;D

Not mean to push or anything, but what about 2.7 version with support for decorative weapons? Its a bit irritating to be forced to copy/paste all built-in weapons everytime i make changes.

A small reminder - if you have a built-in weapon and decorative weapon and assign weapon for the first - you`ll lose it when you save the hull file. If you later manually set all the decorative and built-in weapons and edit the file in the editor - it will remove all built-in weapons when saving.

Thanks for the time and effor you have put into this Trylobot, a little confusing to start with; but a very powerful tool now that I know what I'm doing (more or less) :)

Hey you're welcome. I have to apologize in advance to any newcomers to the tool, I'm not a UI expert. It makes a lot more sense if you've ever tried to go do these things by hand. The original layout and UI was strictly for setting bounds coordinates on the ship hull bounding polygons, because that was the biggest timesink for me and other modders.

Unfortunately, every other feature that's been added is just stuff I crammed into that existing codebase, and some of it rather forcefully. Feature-creep it's called, it's almost gotten out of control at this point.

New question, on the Weapon Mode(5) should I be able to add an image so I can create the weapon? Currently I can't seem to find out how, but when I open an existing weapon the image displays.

Cheers.

Nah; that's a work in progress. The existing images works because the first thing I did was make sure I could parse and interpret all the existing weapons files.

So, making weapons is still very much a by-hand process. Seems like The Soldier is still very much in business!

Ah ok, thanks for the response.

I shall continue to create it by-hand then :)
