Hard-coded FTL Modding
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 2:08 pm
So, I thought I would start with a few questions about hard-coded modding...
1. More or less than 5 Zoltan shields, do you think it's possible?
2. Custom crew related things, such as making one crew member the 'Captain' and giving him special stats. Removing health bars in the UI, changing crew box color etc.?
3. UI toggle in-game, so you can view your ship in all its glory.
Those were just my first ideas. So, how many people want to come here and tell me it's impossible?
Because, well... I've already done all three.
As you can see, the captain image is different than the other two and there are no health bars.
Difference between the captain here and a regular crew member below.
150 health compared to...
... 100
20 Zoltan shields after each jump. You can see I took a point of damage and the UI still shows 5 shields ( The UI is a bit broken when I give it more than 7 Zoltan shields )
Toggling the UI off...
...and mind controlling my own crew just for fun.
I don't really know where I'm going with this, the only thing that is not buggy at the moment are the crew changes ( the 'Captain', no healthbars, UI is still a tiny bit broken ). Zoltan shields are worse for the UI. Toggling off the UI makes it cause bugs elsewhere at the moment... and the mind control is useless. I don't really imagine wanting to mind control your own crew and make them turn against you.
Any ideas, suggestions etc. would be welcome. Just know I don't have all the time in the world, and this stuff does take time, so any updates or changes could be slow.
No links, obviously, this is more of a test right now than a real mod.
