      Write some mods to rotate your ship around the core and to move the core. You can get them under the \"Mods\" menu. Don\'t forget to download both the application jar (which goes in the StarMade directory) and my mods jar (which goes in the jo_plugins) directory.

      A new version has been posted. This one supports mods. Mods are distributed as jar files. To use it, create a \"jo_plugins\" directory in your StarMade directory. All you need do is put the jar file in the directory. Try it out with this mod here. This will add a \"Stripes\" option to the new...

      Mostly I\'ve been messing with small ships. Big ships get into multiple chunks which is more complicated. I hadn\'t started testing that. If you attach your ship or send a link to it, I\'ll use that as a test, find out what is wrong, and fix it.

      Just published an e-version of the audiobook I\'m promoting. Liking it would make me happy. Buying it will make my daughter happy. (Procedes go towards buying her minecraft lego!)

      New update. I\'ve migrated things from the button bar to a menu bar. That means I can put much more on. I went and did view filtering. So you can now peruse different systems of your ship. Handy if you want to see what is \"under the covers\" on an uploaded ship. I put in some basic filters...

      Sorry about that, mate. My simple search and replace didn\'t notice that hardened yellow hulls become gold. Fixed now.

      Not sure what happened there. I\'ve refreshed it. Please try again.

      OK. I made enough progress to post a new version. I managed to successfully write a floating-rock. I tries a station, and was able to change the hull color, but a lot of it didn\'t appear. I\'m not sure if it was for corruption, or missing data. I have not tried it yet on Your Ships. It will...

      Got it. I\'ve seen that format before. I believe I even already have code that can parse it. I\'ll look into it!

      I only really wanted to write a viewer. But there are too many useful things to do so I got caught up in it. Made progress tonight. Edited files don\'t crash the server anymore. But hull blocks disppeared from a floating rock when I did a no-change edit, and my ship entirely disappeared. :-(...

      This github project is a child of the other one. I like to check in every night. But it\'s not going to be stable every night. So I do my checkins to this project. When I\'m happy that I\'ve reached a stable state (usually when I post something) then I put in a pull request and the changed code...

      Am I blind? Or did you forget to put it in. I think I already have code to parse an OBJ file. I was lying in bed thinking about this last night and I think I should be able to write a converter for any export. It may not need to be voxelized. Just a bit of 3d math. I think if I iterate over...

      Got the code laid down for the \"save\" button. First attempt to change the color of four hull blocks on a rock crashed the server. Not worth releasing yet. :-( A debugging we shall go... (Interium code is here if anyone wants a go at it. The bugs are going to be in DataLogic.writeFile)

      If you want to contribute, you can always buy the audio book linked to in the begging line. I\'ll have a text version up on Smashwords as soon as I get a decent cover for it. Just saying... :-) Well, actually, just shamelessly self promoting! :-D Baby needs a minecraft lego set...

      Just downloaded MCEdit the other day. I haven\'t played with it much. The main problem with region selection in 3D is how to put it in the UI. But I\'ll have a look into how MCEdit do it and see if I can wrap my head around it.

      OK. I\'m a little confused what direction you are going in. You want to design something in 3DS and import it to StarMade? Is that right? I can\'t see that as being too hard. At least as far as getting in raw hull blocks. If the original data file has colors in it, I could convert those. Extra...

      Yep. I forgot this. Silly me. I\'ve posted an update with support for hardened hulls; for painting, display and smoothing.I also added a button to automatically convert all unhardened hulls to hardened, and vice versa. (Still no save. Working on that!) Please look for bugs and report them!

      Subscribe to the \"Offline Ship Viewer\" thread. Someone just requested the ability to move the core. I can probably do a rotate as well. I\'ll update there when I have it done.

      Sorry for the silence. I was on vacation. Yep, I can have it appear to \"move the core\". In reality it would be moving the rest of the ship, but that wouldn\'t be apparent. Let me try to get save working first then I\'ll look into that.

      I finally got wedges working. (But not corners yet.) So they come up when viewing ships. What? You haven\'t been smoothing your ship outlines by using the hull wedges? Oh, because it is tedious and time consuming to use the in-game editor to do so. I see... Well, that\'s not an excuse anymore...
