If ships are to have limits they should be defined not derived. Otherwise freighters that are big and hollow would mount better weapons than gunships that have solid spines to brace weapons against. I'd agree with this. At most, a default algorithm that can be overridden could be used. I think that...

Here is a previous post of mine with the best solution for decompiling it , also quoted below. I don't remember where I got this from, but just open notepad and enter FOR %%A IN (*.tdb) DO TransData /decompile /dataFile:%%A and save it as "TDDA.bat", then put it and all of your .tdb files in the sa...

I think that once we have the next version of the wiki up with the ability to read all the .xml files and automatically generate pages for items/ship/whatnot, we should add a similar feature to the game itself. We already have the Rowena's Weapons and Armor series of roms from older versions of tran...

Since the damage dealt by a mining weapon apparently affects how much ore you get, does this mean enhancers such as the laser collimator would make the mining laser more effective at mining, or is the process of deciding how much ore you get convoluted to the point of making this idea useless?

I notice that there is a warning when you downgrade equipment. Could the same mechanism be re-purposed to give the player a heads-up that they are kitting up for mining in an empty system? 'An idle miner notices your selection: "You might wanna think twice 'bout that- there's nothin around here for...

I've noticed that we now have a 'miningEquipment' attribute for mining equipment that makes mining equipment appear in the inventory of standard Commonwealth mining stations. Unfortunately it is currently set to work in the same way as how stations offer reactor upgrades, in that every mining statio...

The new thermo weapon images are very similar to engine images. and the plasma weapon images look like an auton launcher-tube, and the energy weapons keep getting progressively taller (with the exception of ion weapons which just look really stubby, like someone accidentally cut the tip off , like ...

I agree that a modified version of the radiation effect seems like the simplest way to add these shield effects. For the actual mechanics, I think that shields should be invisible when at full health but become more opaque as they take damage. At the point before they collapse/The instant they resta...

P.S. I'll download it and try it out!

Cabbage Corp is called Cabbage Corp because Cabbage Corp was founded by a cabbage salesman. Cabbage Corp is also the leading producer of authentic cabbages in all of human space.

Cabbage Corp is now available on GitHub.

Updated the following: Cabbage Corp v0.7.3.0 (2015-05-01) -----General Changes----- Switched to ISO 8601 Updated deprecated functions. *Watched as other functions became deprecated. Organized the various modules and resources. Began plans to separate libraries from items, will likely have at least ...

For the first(ish) question, set the weapon to use some item as ammo. The weapon will now be unable to fire unless you have that item on your ship. Then set the weapon to add one unit of that item to your ship whenever it is fired (see attached code) so that you won't actually run out of the item. T...

I've always been a fan of the damage curve used in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It scales indefinitely unlike systems where you block a percentage of the damage, and you don't really have to worry about capping the damage negation.

The game seems to run smoothly for me, though I have yet to really try to stress test it with any of my mods. I haven't really noticed any glitches other than the screwed up collision box that all the stars seem to still have on the lower and left sides. System: ASUS G Series G51JX-X1 OS: Windows 7 ...

The Phobos and Deimos have a perception value of 6, which means stealth armor does nothing and they can see ships with regular armor from approximately 2.25x as far away.
