before the trolls come to feed, I'm aware of SMEDIT. I'm also well aware of what it does and vaguely how we are supposed to use it. what many are not aware of is what it cant do.
it cant edit game scripts. it cannot specifically define files of types to scripts of code. basically it cant do anything that isn't involving a blueprint. it does fine doing what it is supposed to, and that is edit blueprint files. but it cant do very much beyond that.
I'm asking specifically about the block editor thing? It's that obscure and generally unused or unknown part of the current launcher, look at it under modding if you want to find out what it is.
What can it do? well, It can do quite a lot actually. It can create custom textured ( but currently can not create new shaped) blocks and even make recopies for them, and set how they spawn or appear in the world. OK that's fine, but what about sound support. Can I for example set a sound file to play when interacting with a new block? or could I perhaps maybe set one to loop play like the current core block does? well sorry, no it currently cant do that. but that is now what I'm asking why not? what I really want is the editor to really create new items for the game make this editor do more. so how about it will it ever be able to be the make everything box, we really want starmade to be?
