Anybody want some brick fences?

I wanted fences. Badly. After poking around inside the game, it was obvious that the devs had done some work towards this already- but it wasn't a priority to finish.

1) Copy the attached file fence.go.txt to the scripts\gameobjects folder and rename it fence.go
2) Copy the attached file "commands.xml" to the game folder.Alternately, edit it such that the fence command isn't commented out.
3) I figured this would give too few bricks, so I also uncommented workshops.edb line 38.

Pretty much everything is already there, I just had to fudge around a few parameters in the fence.go file. I haven't broken anything on purpose, but I'm just poking things here, so if things go south for you, you may have to uninstall and reinstall to get the correct update. If that sounds like too big a risk, please don't attempt this.

 

Nice. How much tinkering did you have to do?

 

As far as lines of code/ characters changed, not much. 10-20 lines, maybe?
It was an excessive number of loads though. Launch game, note error. edit in notepad, relaunch game... Not my finest debugging job ever.

 

Can I have a gate, please please?

 

Ditto! We -need- something like this to keep Johnny Fish-man and Billy Bandit out of our affairs!

 

If we made an simple model for it, does ce support us importing that said model? And with open and close animation

 

DId you have any luck with the other fences? They seem to be either hardcoded or missing things and therefore wont spwn(just a guess haha) i tried having them as dynamics, as structal. Very nice work!

 

Maybe? I got as far as trying to use the loading bay door's model- but the fishmen kept coming through. I really need to understand the occupancy map.

 

I haven't spent a lot of time on them, but I did not have any luck with what little time I did have.

 

The model files for CE have a .upm extension; the animation files have a .upa extension. I can't open them in Carrara Pro and I wasn't able to find anything online about those file extensions that seemed at all related. Just guessing here, but since CE uses its own proprietary engine, possibly Gaslamp has their own modeling format.

That would be sweet if we could import our own models, though.

 

[Starts looking up what OpenCollada is.]

EDIT: Okay, that's pretty straightforward, conceptually. Exporting a model out of Daz Studio was easy too. Cool.

 

Quite a long time ago, I whipped up a model in Maya for export into Collada, which was apparently the format a buddy of mine needed so he could fool around with a 3D object in Flash.

i.e. Collada is a 3D model format. As I dimly recall, you'll need the usual wireframes and textures packed correctly in order to see anything.

 

Ohh, sweetpeas, i need to read up on that! Iv done some modeling but mostly mod things to kerbalspaceprogram. Ce is my new fav so i have began fiddling around haha. Thanks for all the info!

 

I don't suppose you guys have considered a nightly branch in addition to the experimental and stable ones?

 

What luxury! Why we used to DREAM of a femur for our rats to chew on. Why, all we had to give them was the praise of the QA staff.

 

Pah, luxury.
