-- something interesting that I found would be that I maybe found Strings that refer -
-- to the XMLShema and Read from it with these Strings that I found, and also ones that refer to the carcasses.xml file
-- Maybe someday I'll be able to change a few of those Strings to unlock some potential without breaking the exe. but that is for another day.



If its any interest, here are some Strings for the XML Files

-- intersting thing I found: remember the interface folder & both Carcass,Module folders where those 32,64,128 folders are? -
-- apparently this game WAS supposed to suport 256 pics too, not important but hey.

-- more engine functions
StoredVariable

maneurability
steering_power
sensor_resolution
sensor_length
threat
engine_sound
engine_start_sound
ShipCarcass::GetBaseName


at this point there weren't any more interesting Functions/Stuffs which I could grab. if you want you can search yourself too, use Hex-Editor MX for easy lookings.
Im sure this will help someone if they are looking for some specific one.

@Neo Genesis: I still have to Test it, Didn't got to do it until now.

Not quite Finished with the Balance testing, but its Seems OK.

I would like to get maybe some Ideas from you about Player Basebuilding, im currently Working on that and I plan to Include maaaaany features for this.
But I could need some Suggestions and Ideas for this, definitely.

I even might have an Playable test Build available next Week or so, It all comes down to how long It takes to Test this out myself to see if it causes any Long-time Problems.

I think its gonna be Epic

Wait are you saying you could actually make it so we can build Stations & Defence Turrets ? That's Incredible

@ArtekXDPL: Thanks ^^
@Neo Genesis: Sadly im not able to test anything right now

Uhm... I think its gonna take a bit longer than one Week, simply because my Graphics card died yesterday.

I know, the timing is awful.

I had a spare one and I replaced it with that one, but the one I currently have is extremely weak(GT520) compared to my old one (GTX560)... gonna have to buy a new one, SW3 has like 10 fps when I start it up, even in the Menu...

Just wanted to inform you guys, its gonna take a bit longer.

Thats exactly what I had in mind. I have the script already finished that creates an Base for the Player, and the variables that saves the Position & stuff of it.

I have many things on my ToDo list for this.

Thats OK Nothing wrong with waiting a little longer for your Masterpiece

Oh yeah If things are working out again maybe you can replace the Matarice with this . its something i whipped up some time ago . Interchanged the Missile & Heavy Gun Slots that are at the side bec. most heavy guns can't hit fighters when put there

Awesome . So about the base what was the Ideal HP you put for them Small , Med , Large & just curious since you can have your own base , Do you mean its possible to create units & control Fleets ?
