Rejected Add Brown Lights

[Blaza612]

Some guy was making shit fighters (by shit, I mean poop) and after discussion, we soon learnt of the massive flaw, that is what prevents him from making a literal shit storm.

There are no brown lights. This is a problem, as now he can't have brown swarm missiles from metaphorical shit-flinging arms, thus the prevention of a literal shit storm (This is just a big metaphor for Odium). So, as you can see, this is a huge disaster, and if our shit needs can't be fulfilled, then the world shall end.

TL;DR plz add in brown lights

Not sure about brown lights, but I'd say some kind of material, system, or crystal should emit 'brown' light... although... isn't that just orange?

Flying turd is GO people, I repeat FLYING TURD IS GO!!!


We need this like a year ago. I want brown shitflingers of doom. Poop Nukes.

Amusing, but i don't see this happening.

Why? We have lights for every other colour don't we?

Kupu no want Poo-poo?

Yes. Any colour occupying a distinct slot in the colour spectrum gets a light. Brown lights (wat) when in game sit so close to orange in function i see little point to add them in. They would add nothing but the ability to have brown missiles at the price of two blocks and three texture slots. Unless Schema himself says otherwise, i have no intentions of making them.

Yours truly, the destroyer of all that is fun. Kupu. xoxox

But you can make neon-green glowing alien shit.

Out of curiosity, when you say that implementing a brown light would take up two blocks and three texture slots does that mean there is a programmed limit to the number of ids that can be assigned? There must be a way around this limitation if so, and whatever the means I would push for expanding those limitations because whenever a limit is set, it's only a matter of time until you reach it.

I may just be misunderstanding this, but it seems very unlikely that there would not be a way around this limit. I've been familiar with JAVA programming and fixing bugs with older games and code-bases. (Lineage 1 was the worst one) Most often this limit is due to a integer type limit, this may boost performance to limit it like this, but there are ways around these limits with minimal performance drawbacks if this is the case. I just wish I knew more about it to make better suggestions about the game. Is there a good place to get that type of information about Starmade?

There are 11 bits for the blockID in the blockData in an smd2 file. 2^11=2048
Subtract 1 from that, because 0 stands for no block.

Thanks that actually does help. Will be looking forward to getting the full API for modding, but I'm goofing around with stuff now. Still somewhat new to starmade.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is a rather crappy suggestion.
