There's more to it than just lack of interest. StarMade does not appear to be set up for the kinds of mods I really want to make for the game; as fun and interesting and hacking error stream outputs are as a messaging system, the fact is that, in order to mod this game, proper modding support...

Obligatory: "We've got two more objects inbound!" Bright: "What are they?" "It appears to be two mobile suits, but one of them is moving way too fast to be a normal Zaku!" Captain: "It can't be...it must be Char!" (Cue above music) "You don't mean the Red Comet!?" Captain: "Char sank five...

Question - I tried the database client setup steps using DBeaver, a universal SQL client, but when I point a connection to a Universe's /index directory, I don't see any tables. My URL I'm connecting to is variously either a universe in my Steam StarMade directory (there are spaces), or to a...

Week 11 - "Street Rep" This week was Thanksgiving in the United States, and I've had a great holiday, with family and good food. I've also been working on the MicroMade back-end, adding the Reputation system and the start of the ship leasing systems, as well as incorporating these things into...

Put differently: This is what you get when the Borg get obsessed with Kaltoh.

Week 10 - "Trading Stations" So, for those concerned - the afflicted family member had roughly a liter of fluid in their lung cavity (!!!). It was extracted with minimal difficulty, and they're doing a lot better. It turns out 1L of fluid in your lung cavity is really not good for breathing...

This might sound weird...but I agree with your disagreement of me; it came about due to poor communication. I was thinking of a totally different application for this idea. I obviously don't think that player ships should be eligible to a loaner program, except by a player opting a particular...

I totally disagree, on the grounds that if you like a ship, why shouldn't you be motivated to go farm the materials to build another one? Right now, farming materials is one of the major things you can actually do in this game. Giving players decent "Pre-made" ship options is actually not a...

Week 9 - "There's no 'me' in 'Item', but there is an I" First, it's my birthday today! I'm a year older, but probably no wiser. Anyways, I've been able to do a little work on the mod this week, focusing mostly on items, how to make them, and what they cost. Messin' With Items The main thing...

So, new week, new configuration/modding question. As you can see in this file, I'm trying to mod specific blocks. For some reason, however, my modded recipes aren't taking, regardless of if I load up an existing universe, or spin off a new one. Right now, the BlockConfigImport.xml file I...

Not really, though a player could. This is a newbie's ship for MicroMade. The point is to start a player with something stronger than cookies, but not too powerful. Most importantly, the newbie ships have a Jump drive installed, to let the player find a place to set up shop.

For those who want to do their part for the Coalition of Systems, we think you should see the cutting-edge military hardware you will be piloting. This is the A-31 Coalition Squire. This ship is tailor-made for a raw recruit to work alongside their fellows from the various systems, and...

Attention Recruits of the Valron Empire! Respect goes to those who triumph. Yet, we cannot afford all future warriors with the best of fighters. It's better to earn equipment from valorous action, than to be gifted a prop that doesn't help you improve. So, the Valron Empire shows you the...

I've updated the Server Documentation in the Wiki with the fruits of the research done in this thread. Work is ongoing, particularly on the npcFaction.xml file, as I haven't fully explored it yet.

Week 8 - "Cough, cough, code code" This week, I'm doing better, but another in my household caught what I brought home. Joy! At least I got to do some minor work on MicroMade. New Admin Commands: !REMOVESHIP [ShipName] - Removes all ships that start with ShipName. /despawn_all is useful, but...

So, I have good news and awkward news. The good news is that with minimal changes, I was able to get custom ships to spawn in. The awkward news, is that in order to know where to put them, you have to read. The specific place you have to put them is the yourstarmadefolder\data\npcFactions...

So, Batavium I've been toying with some of these configurations, and I've noticed some...oddities. First things first, what I've been doing. For my MicroMade mod (see link in signature), I have two primary factions at the moment - the Coalition of Systems, and the Valron Empire. I was able to...

Week 7 - Mostly, out sick. :(

Your charts are the baguette.

This is illogical, because you're assuming that one mass sum equates to the same amount of ability, and the same qualities. I'm sure there are actually many different configurations you could go with that can achieve the same mass, while being more or less formidable, and having vastly...
