Isn't that Derek Smart? Or is it Wabbajack?

I get confused...

 

Whatd you bribe him with?

 

IT WORKED?!

 

I'm still here lurking... I'll probably be dropping my existing server and moving over. A lot less griefing when with a group fo friends.

 

that could be an interesting idea. for the server we all start in our own small ship with wings and just forward thrusters and have to land on a planet possibly/hopefully in the same area to combine what parts we have just a medium cargo container on board and probably batteries.

and also the castle i'd scrap the idea of having it land on planets mostly because it'd be hard just to see and also theres the matter of will the terrain be flat enough. it would probably break when it lands. so large ships landing on planets probably are a no go. well large large ships.

and still no idea what happened to the textures when i removed blocks from the hoverbike.

 

you know. the only pieces of the hoverbike mod i really want are the wheels. we could do without everything else. because those aviation style wheels would work so much better than the vanilla wheels for aircraft using the wings mod. not just in looks but also because of size. and weight they would probably help.

 

so what i tried last night with the wheels kinda worked. I removed the icons for all but the 3 wheels which did remove the icons for those blocks in the g-menu but not the blocks themselves from the g-menu. and the other file i fiddled with had to do with the tab of the mod in the g-menu (like you click on conveyor tab in g menu it shows all the conveyor blocks) and the mods name is changed (aviation wheels) and that tab does just show the 3 wheels. also THE TEXTURES ARE STILL THERE. because i didn't screw with the cubeblocks file at all.

So partial success

 

Update 01.116 - Medical room modding support

Summary
Greetings Engineers and Happy New Year!
In this week's update we are introducing the ability to modify the medical room and also providing a few example mods for characters and medical rooms to show the new and old possibilities. For example you can disable / enable respawning on medical room, disable / enable healing and refueling, disable / enable suit changing or restrict which models you can change into for a specific medical room. This makes it possible to create scenarios where each faction’s medical room would spawn specific models for it, for example aliens vs robots. Or you will be able to create an upgraded medical room that spawns suits with more health points.
Below you can find some example mods that we have created for you.

Features
- medical room modding support
- example mod for medical room
- example mod for character suits (different attributes)

Example Mods
- KEEN SWH Alternative Suits Mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=593363544
- KEEN SWH Medical Room Mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=595306502

Fixes
- fixed crash with rotors
- fixed crash when detonating warheads
- fixed sensor range visibility is bad in Dx11
- fixed random crash when launching the game
- fixed mods not working for planets

 

magnus I think I know how you broke your aviation wheels. at least if it's the same as what I did. I deleted the ammo, ammomagazines and blueprints files which broke it restored them which fixed it. also now i cut out everything but the wheels and the textures work (the bumper is still in there at the moment only because i'm not sure where to delete exactly). i think what i was doing wrong before was HOW i was deleting stuff. this time i just deleted the sections (structures to structures etc) without messing with any of the spacing stuff. it shouldn't matter but it did. I really think sanchin really put the mod together in a weird way. the original hoverbike.

 

SUCCESS! now just the three wheels showing up in g-menu and textures working. i deleted all but the wheel models and most of the textures. so it updated on workshop in a few seconds.

 

Got the server bookmarked. Only 10 slots, so I'll log on when one opens up.

 

that wheeled desert aircraft carrier in the homeworld prequel coming out in two weeks would be awesome for the server. not exactly that but use it as a concept. because that thin seems bigger then would actually be needed.






there are 2 main disadvantages i see to the helicarrier designs. they are balance of the carrier (left, right, forward, back) if it's thrown off a little bit it could crash the ship. Of course if the power drops (damaged reactors, batteries or just run out of fuel/battery charge) on the helicarrier the ship would probably get wrecked when it crashes where wheeled carrier if it loses power it loses power but won't wreck.

only real disadvantage to the wheeled carrier is you can't go over all terrain. so i suppose it is more of a world limited vehicle.

 

so, wheels, with limited thrusters (hydrogen?) for short vertical hops, or perhaps even ascent to orbit.
