It's javascript, not java:they're two different programming languages!

Bravo - considering you seem to have spent a significant portion of your time on the BB stranded in nice (but remote) parts of the world that's a remarkable achievement.Cmdr. Maegil wrote:Oh, vana gloria! The previous comment was my one thousandth post on our Friendliest Board!

Hey, thanks a lot. I'll give it a go. It'll be nice to actually be able to see the ship in space. Fatleaf sent me something similar once, but I must have done something to it, because after I used it the first time I couldn't get it to work for me again. Probably forgot how he told me to set up the script.Killer Wolf wrote:i like the two-tone look.
what's that dark line on the red of the "arm", just about central in the top pic? i can't tell if it's some stray polys that might need cleaning or just a bit of overpainting.
as for spawning, i use a simple script when i'm testing :-
in your shipdata, include "testship" in your ship's roles and when you launch one will be spawned in the near vicinity. you can of course change the shipwilllaunch command to the shipwillexitwitchspace one, (change the 1.0 at the end of the addsystemships bit to 0.1 or so) if you want to see it in flight and follow it around to check details etcCode: Select all

proper scripting can be more complex, obviously, but this will get a ship into the game so you can check the look and placement of exhausts etc.
