Raion Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 First of all, hi everyone! And the devs: great work! Me and my girlfriend are totally addicted to this game!!! It's been a couple of days that we're playing by lan, but we'd like to play on a bigger (and more populated, of course) server, but after looking for hours, I couldn't find a single server (apart from Freejack, but I never succeded in getting in). No one opened a public server? I'd do it myself but, being italian, our internet connections are ok to play, but no go to host more than 4 players (with lag). As a second question to devs, I'm interested in writing mods for the game, I'd like to write a mod to change the camera to a "first person cockpit" camera (along with a "command room block", possibly), but I can't seem to find the function in the docs to play with the camera. Is there something? Thank you and keep up the good work! This game is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxelware Team koonschi Posted August 17, 2014 Boxelware Team Share Posted August 17, 2014 Hi! Sadly I don't know about any public servers other than Freejack's. As a second question to devs, I'm interested in writing mods for the game, I'd like to write a mod to change the camera to a "first person cockpit" camera (along with a "command room block", possibly), but I can't seem to find the function in the docs to play with the camera. Is there something? Not yet. But I could add it, now that I know that there is someone willing to spend some time with the modding API. I could really use some feedback on that btw. For now this was only for myself. If you're interested in working with the modding API, I'd take some time to think about how to do client sided scripts or new scripted blocks.

Raion Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Well, it could be really interesting, because I want to learn a little bit of Lua (it is Lua, isn't it?) and of course writing scripts for a good game is better than learning with without a real purpose! I still need to read everything related to the creation of new scripts, but of course a full guide could be useful to understand the scripting capabilities! Thank you Koonschi!

Boxelware Team koonschi Posted August 17, 2014 Boxelware Team Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'll see what I can do concerning documentation and further scripts. I'm planning to add new scripts in new versions, for quests or events or UI elements. Scripting blocks requires a big amount of thought before adding it to the game, so you shouldn't expect that to come very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raion Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 No problem, even having the ability to set the camera, let's say, on the block on the front (the most forward) could be perfect. Creating a "control room" block would only be useful to create a sort of cockpit, but it's not necessary. If you know StarMade, in that games there's a cockpit block that can be placed everywhere on the ship - even more than one. You can then switch the camera to any of these blocks. Is it possible to script new keyboard commands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxelware Team koonschi Posted August 17, 2014 Boxelware Team Share Posted August 17, 2014 Yes, keyboard and mouse access is possible. The main problem is that you can't control the camera yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
