Re: Excalibur Targeting ROM

Sweet, another UI mod! :D This sounds like something I would do... Orly? ;) Prolly 'cause I started by looking at your AdvLRS code to figure out how to make overlays. I found a huge and likely insurmountable problem with triggering custom events inside of <ItemType>s, as sysAddTypeRecurringTimerEve...

Re: fire a recurrring event from an item

Sorry for the thread necro but I just tried this and totally failed :(

I really wanted to avoid having to create a virtual station but it looks like that's the only way to go.

Re: Excalibur Targeting ROM

Very cool! Is it possible to make the reticle sprite rotate to orient itself with the direction that you're firing? Not sure, but it is on my list to investigate for advanced functionality additions. Creating a 40-faces aiming reticle grid image is one option, but that would be hideously annoying t...

Excalibur Targeting ROM

http://xelerus.de/index.php?s=mod&id=1230 http://xelerus.de/screenshots/1230_ExcaliburTargetingROM.png In the style of the Enhance SRS ROM and Targeting ROM, the Excalibur Targeting ROM installs software (as in, it doesn't take a device slot and uses minimal power) that adds a series of aiming retic...

Re: With 50+ images -one selected randomly?

I'm currently working on a ROM-style item that creates aiming reticles, and I'm planning on eventually making it configurable to use different series of graphics. As things are now, no matter if I use a gridded single graphic or a series, I still have to make with a lot of code to define them all. H...

Re: [PlayerShip] P1X3lShip Lives!

Hmmm... If I can make a CPU sucking 'grey ooze' out of weapons fire, I wonder what I could do with stations... :twisted:

Useless trivia tidbit: The overlay pixels are spaced exactly 1 light-second apart :shock:

Re: A possible mod option for mods that do not change gamepl

Consistency? :oops: Sorry, TWiki does look a bit free-for all in places, which I expected, it being community based. I don't really care as long as it works, right? Honestly I haven't looked for a style guide, I'll get to that ;) What's a namespace? :mrgreen: I'm good with just about any markup lang...

In 0.7 the ICS only had one weapon, a Kytryn launcher.
Uh, ok... then it hasn't changed much from 0.99x :oops:

Well this will tickle your fancy ;) Google image searching FTW! http://wiki.neurohack.com/transcendence/wiki/_media/allships.jpg Zoom in and scroll to the bottom of that image for a side-by-side comparison of the new and old ICS, as well as a glimpse into the past history of ship graphics used in th...

Re: A possible mod option for mods that do not change gamepl

Come to find out, the shield health isn't stored there... so I deleted one of the ICS's weapons instead, then compiled again. Please bear in mind that actual files names have no bearing on the results of an MD5 hash. Using a free MD5 checking utility, I got the following results: newIocrym_clean.tbd...

If I'm being obnoxious please let me know :oops: Your (George's) utility apps are notorious for not having much in the way of documentation. That's not really a gripe, just a statement of "that's the way it is". I do like a challenge. E: is my portable thumb drive, I've never had any problems runnin...

Only remnant I could find. This is a shrunken "playership" version of the original ICS, affectionately known as the flying blue wedge ;)

Re: A possible mod option for mods that do not change gamepl

I'd like to try this out using DigDug's awesomesauce Clear Iocrym Graphics mod, since it's just a graphic update but still requires overriding vanilla XMLs. I'd like to create a 'genuine' *.tbd as well as a 'hacked' version that makes a small change like reducing the command ship's shield HPs to 1 i...
