Well, LT does have a bunch of people who intend to mod-in multiplayer when the game comes out. Don't lose hope. :angel: :ghost:

Another little idea that I thought would be cool... A game that allows you to import your ship creations made in outside modeling programs... Of course they would have to be reduced to 3D skins before import... You would create all the weapon mounts and the game would have all the weapons to fit by node on the ship mounts... Just a thought... :)

The game will be moddable once it's released, meaning that you can add mods to the game like you can in skyrim, fallout, minecraft, etc.

Maybe possible, not sure about that. But it will be possible to share in-game created ships with other people.

modding doesnt require source code access ;)

the source from the X2/X3 games isnt available but there are still a ton of mods :P

and which purpose?
josh isnt ready to give us stuff and its completely fine that he doesnt give us access as long as the game isnt done.


you also dont have to yell.
one questionmark is suffecient :P

outside modeling programs already produce meshes, no need for reducing :P

some bumpmapping would be in order, though, depending on the poly count.

Well, hang on -- how do you define a ship in LT?

If they're procedurally generated and rendered, won't "a ship" just be a relatively small collection of appropriate numbers that are inputs to the display and functionality code?

In which case, sharing ships is easy; just spit out those values to a file, and include a function to create a ship template based on reading in a previously created file.

And if Josh writes the ship editor code to allow importing of textures, what else is needed to design and share ships in vanilla LT v1.0?
