Encourage Modding

[Archer6621]

I know there will be a new site eventually, but wouldn't it be awesome if people were actually supported to start tinkering with the game, in all kinds of ways? This can all at least be stimulated by adding specific sections to the new forums such as "Mods", "Texture Packs", "Skins". This game has huge modding potential, just like Minecraft did, it should be encouraged.

And don't come with the excuses like "game is in an early state, things could change". At what stage was Minecraft development when people decided to make actual mods for it? Even these days all modders face the same issue when Minecraft updates, because they (MCP) have to deobfuscate the code everytime something changes, and yet they do it. Why should this not happen for StarMade?

Mods were a pretty darn important part of Minecraft's development, tons of clever ideas were actually made into functional mods, showing off how well some of them could work. Some of those good mods or parts of them even got implemented into the game itself (smooth lighting, sandstone, etc), I could easily see this happening in StarMade as well.

If you have not been paying attention to previous posts, the reason why mods are unable to be supported at THIS time, is because of the fact that the code simply does not allow it at this time. Read up on why, then come back and make an intelligent argument. Please, for both of us, it\'d be for the best.

 

[Archer6621]

And why exactly does it not allow this? You should become intelligent yourself and learn how to support your own statements with proper arguments, because \"code doesn\'t not allow this\" without any further elaboration is a horrible argument.

Modding is MODIFYING CODE for the record, small hint there?

Now go pay attention yourself, read my post again, and understand what I am actually talking about, instead of reading one sentence and posting a reply that does not make any sense.


EDIT: That \"code doesn\'t allow this\" thing that you are talking about has to do with obfuscation. Obfuscation is like some sort of encryption and is meant to protect/secure the java binary from easily copying over stuff (especially important in early stages of development when the community is still small-ish, people could just run off with the source and start their own branch), pretty much making it closed-source.

People still can deobfuscate code and tinker with it, but it is a time consuming process as they have to find out which part of the code does what, and it has to be re-done with every new release build.

 

[Montblanc]

Modding, like if you were to so kindly point out in minecraft, is simply the addition or possible change to gameplay elements, however, it is still the addition of lines of code. No modifying, as that implies replacing lines of code. I may not have a fucking degree in programming, but I sure as hell have common sense. So you become more intelligent by reading posts by those who are actually motherfucking contributing, you git! They devs said that they\'ll fuckin\' support it, so they will! Be patient for a more stable FUCKING RELEASE, you little shit! They\'ll keep their promise! Making a goddamn game is not easy, believe or not, so if you want this so bad, make your own goddamn game!

Archer, that\'s already done, I had the same feeling when the topic of the new site came up, so there\'s also an entire main section for player-made stuff (like art, mods, stories, everything that\'s not ships/factions/servers which have other sections).

So you can paint yourself in a happy blue :D

 

[Archer6621]

Just gonna use a popular phrase here as you\'re pretty hopeless...

You went full retard, never go full retard.

Leave your common sense in a ditch somewhere far from home, and get a degree in programming, then argue with me.

 

[Archer6621]

Fantastic, it will boost things for sure, if people have a nice place to present their stuff

 

[Crusade]

Mods need to be supported.


I think the game is well known enough to allow modding without any real risk of someone running off with the source.

Modding a game is the modification/addition/removal/replacement of code in a game.

I\'m on side with Archer here.

 

[Montblanc]

God fucking damnit. If you feel like I gotta leave my common sense in a ditch somewhere, editor, go leave you fucking stupid remarks elsewhere, jackass. What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.



Shut the fuck up, keyboard warrior. No one cares about your stupid as fuck opinions. The dev\'s say their gonna support, they\'re gonna fucking support. If you want fucking mod support this early in the game, go play fucking Arma 3 you fuckhead.



tl;dr shut the fuck up, weaboo.

 

[Zyrr]

Mont, please. Go elsewhere, where we don\'t have to view you exploding in a flustered mess over something so non-provoking and trivial that I cannot comprehend the anger that followed.

 

[Archer6621]

You\'re so funny please keep going, make my day even more mate :\')

Also, a bit hypocritical to call me a keyboard warrior with that fancy reply of yours, don\'t you think? :p

 

[refirendum]

montblanc, being a navy seal and being good with weaponry and targeting does not qualify your opinion on game programming any more than a high school student whose knowledge of programming is hearsay only. you are not special regardless of your miltary ranking, regardless of your skill behind a trigger. you will decompose the same way as anyone else when you die.



also, you\'ve now immortalized condemning evidence of muder in the case that you do kill this archer person. whther you\'re actually a seal or not (idc if you are or not)

 

[MichaelSeph]

Do you really want your 4 months on star-made.org to never reach 5 months ?

Just make another uncontrolled and EULA breaking post like that. (EULA, the thing you clicked on \"I\'ve read, understood and accept the EULA\" when you registered here).

You can express your opinions without needing open insults, flaming creepypasta, death threats, etc.



This post (of mine) was not an opinion.

 

[Zodapop]

We have found ourselves a purebred specimen of Troll here, gentlemen. A fantastic example of the species. Let us examine his latest footprint. My observations are in parntheses, as well as bold print.

No one fucking cares, but apparently I do. (So, the Troll thinks of himself as \"No one\". Anonymous status or self-esteem issues? A combination of the two?)


God fucking damnit (How fiesty it is!). If you feel like I gotta leave my common sense in a ditch somewhere, editor, go leave you fucking stupid remarks elsewhere, jackass (This sentence would be less akward without the word jackass at the end). What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? (A sudden change in tone, as well as the repitition of the word \"fuck\" shows the importance of the answer.) I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals(To be perfectly honest, I don\'t know how it works, but I don\'t think Navy Seals have a system like that), and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda (One might think that you would know how to spell Al-Qaeda, then) , and I have over 300 confirmed kills (Now the Troll displays his skill at the popular game Call of Duty, in order to intimidate his target). I am trained in gorilla (Perhaps the mispelling of guerilla indicates that it is about to unleash the inner beast) warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces (The Troll again uses bluffs to intimidate his chosen prey) . You are nothing to me but just another target (So cold-blooded.) . I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words (He is going to ricochet a revolver bullet off of the goddamn dome of the sky and it will be a headshot. Mark his WORDS.) . You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA (The Troll uses \"connections\" with people of power as yet another intimidation tactic. It almost appears as if this is your average too-violent nine year old\'s fantasy...) and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot (I believe it is about to get *serious*) . The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands (The Troll certainly does know a lot of ways to kill people with its bare hands. Seven hundred. Wow, amirite?) . Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps (I estimate the value in fully-automatic rifles to be about 42,800,000 US Dollars) and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit (Kind of like Charmin does with your regular ass) . If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue (He\'s angry. Such a state is common in the species as a whole- almost ALL THE TIME) . But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it (Charmin won\'t save you now.) . You’re fucking dead, kiddo. (I believe the author left this last sentence here as an indicator that he is 100% serious. In case the point didn\'t get across.)



(Oh dear. There\'s more.)Shut the fuck up, keyboard warrior (An excellent example of the Troll\'s hypocritical attitude.). No one cares about your stupid as fuck opinions (See the beginning. It clearly states that you do, in fact, care. Also, some hyphens between stupid-as-fuck would\'ve been helpful). The dev\'s say their gonna support, they\'re gonna fucking support (Another error, this time through a misplaced apostrophe, puts in concrete terms the uncaring ignorance of the Troll). If you want fucking mod support this early in the game, go play fucking Arma 3 you fuckhead.



tl;dr shut the fuck up, weaboo. (This is the cooldown sentence. He\'s about 92 degrees Fahrenheit now.)



This has been the first in a series of annotated footprints and academic papers on the Species of the Troll.

 

[MichaelSeph]

The off topic and that incorrect wording goes on... I guess this thread will require a cleanup soon enough.

 

[Zodapop]

Probably. To rectify the situation, I will post an on-topic reply! Though, essentially my only use in this situation is saying \"This is a good idea\" (which it is), and to provide ideas for mods, of which I have plenty. Those don\'t actually serve a function besides making people go \"That seems cool\", though. So, I fully support a moddable starmade, because of the ideas I want to see happen. Woo. This functionally serves as a signature on a petition, I suppose.



(Also, I have no idea if it actually counts as an idea, because I don\'t know what in God\'s name I\'m talking about.)

 

[Lucipus_Buddha2]

lool that was epic premature implotion. He has 300 confirmed kills, he is navy, marine, and a spy! you better watch your back Archer, what if he comes and TP\'s your house! D: wonder how many times his voice would break saying all that xD

 

[Archer6621]

I\'ll just de-op him))

 

[Kael]

Honestly I believe once starmade supports modding, it will have an even bigger modding community than minecraft. Can\'t wait! :D

 

[refirendum]

Also definition of weaboo that the editor missed in his response!

Most weaboos are uneducated about their obsession of choice and are often noobs who are overly zealous, trying to impress others with their otaku knowledge. Another trait of a weaboo is their desire to \"be Japanese\".

this is the most reasonable definition on the associated definition page:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Weaboo

in no part of the original post did i see anything about japanese-ness anywhere.
