Plasma Cannons

[Duggan]

Duggan I have tested the Apache this morning and have been able to manually land it on a regular station quite easily.

The texturing is not quite 100% complete but you could tidy this up in something like Gimp or even paint quite quickly.

PM me if you want a copy

Thank you kind sir, that would be most appreciated.

Is there an oxp out there where I can buy Plasma Cannons that automatically fire on a hostiles (if they are in range. much like the ones on the caddies and wonderworm) to buy and install as my and starboard and stern weapons.

Well actually you can, but not buy them. You can copy the code for a caddy that deals with the port and starboard turrets,
paste it into your ships plist, then adjust the dimensions for placement to your ship.It's not as easy as it sounds.
I'm utterly hopeless with the aft laser on my caddy so I added 3 turrets there. Took quite a bit of messing about to get it right.
If your going to try it, work on a copy of the code AND back up the original.
Use something like Notepad++, The windows notpad stuffs up the code.

And as already said, it is kinda cheating.
But messing about with the a copy of the code is a good way to learn about it.
Gave a greater appreciation for all the guys that create the code for the game.

Is there a step by step guide of how to do this for idiots like me anywhere
