View Source | Report Issues | See Upcoming Features

Here's Deathfly's fork: http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=11491
I will try to keep this post in-sync with Deathfly's post as much as I can, and cross-post releases. I will tag my releases with [Trylobot], and presumably Deathfly will tag his similarly.

This looks great! I really like how the UI is shaping up. The starry background is an especially nice touch :)


Confirmed to work on Windows XP. I do get a dialog with "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" (and nothing else) on exit, but that's not exactly a big issue.

Btw, if you installed SF in the default location, just change the settings to
Code
"images_dir": "/Program Files/Fractal Softworks/Starfarer/starfarer-core/graphics/ships/",
"data_dir": "/Program Files/Fractal Softworks/Starfarer/starfarer-core/data/hulls/",

Did I mention that this is awesome?

Fear my 1337 Google skillz.

But yeah, I have no idea if this even works anymore. Might be worth a try, though. Have fun.

I must ask, Trylobot, do you plan to develop this utility any further? Even with its limited functionality, I use it over the other ship editor for one reason: precision. Being able to see the coordinates for any location by simply moving your mouse over it is extremely helpful, and allows new ships to be made with dead accuracy, rather than just eyeballing it.

One feature that would really make it great would be the ability to add in weapon slots, and adjust their angles and arcs, specifically. Engine slots and other misc attributes can be easily copy-pasted in from another .ship file, so if you do plan to do any more work on this, I'd make these a low priority.
