I have been trying to do some finishing on ShipEdit. While I have a somewhat current version with some big changes, my partner in crime Remus seems to have dropped off the face of the earth.

If someone with the neccessary skills is interested I have a VERY OLD source code to start with and some relatively current versions for layout and functionality. It would require a bit of work to learn what is what and then bring the old code up to what was intended to be a final finished item.

What put it entirely on hold was an attempt to have a built in model viewer but T' demise and a big dose real life has almost finished it out. That coupled with totaly losing touch with Remus has made it almost impossible to go any further. As I understand functionality and did all the graphics work I have that, but alas, less than minimal ability to do the coding.

I am not going to release the code for open source, but if one or two folks want to work on this with me to finish this up I will pass on what I can.

There's Dave (NuclearWessels), Karnak, MagnumMan and I and possibly others. If none of the others are interested I might be able to find time for it, but I'm stretched pretty thin as it is. I really need to get back to running debug tests of the serverkit on MySQL with MagnumMan's latest edits, but I've been tied up with other stuff lately. Probably going to do another debug run after SG6, once that is done I might be able to take a look if none of the others speak up.

Damn - ordinarily I'd love to jump on that, but I'm really swamped these days as well.

It might be a possibility for me next summer, but probably not before then.

Way Cool HE...alas I cannot code...but an Ship edit Gold would be AWESOME....maybe who ever takes it on might get some insight on FMSE also...

Heavens Eagle · « **Reply #4 on:** July 30, 2006, 12:03:39 am »

Totally different animals Crim. Haven't checked but I am not even sure I have any copies of the FMSE source.

Nuclear and Bonk, I am not looking at a huge project here, but there are many things I just cannot do on this. In addition you guys might be able to tell me some better ways to do some of the things that SE is doing. There is no hurry on this as RL has me snowed in a lot of the time. (That's Real Life for those in Rio Linda) I do need some folks that know how to code though to work with and trade ideas on at intervals. If you are interested even a little let me know.

I understand...I meant mostly seeing how remus did some things might help someone see his style and methodology...

If you do happen to find the FMSE scource...someone was looking at attempting an FMSE for OP...

Well I'm definitely interested, as long as you don't mind it being a kind of intermittent/drawn out process.

Well folks the bad news is it doesn't look like I will be needing your help (at least with ShipEdit).

The good news is that I managed to track down Remus from his hidey hole. As of tonight he has loaded up his software and is loading SFC OP with the OP4+ enhancement. Slick install there Pesty.

For now I do need you to give some feedback on any problems you can think of with functions on SE in the op shiplist. I have quite a list already. The weapons that are hidden, the new arcs and the wrong arcs.

There are also some errors on the fighterlist that I am aware of.

I'm learning C++ in college, though at the moment I only know the basics of the basics.

FMSE with Universe At War - The possibilities are endless..

welcome back Remus.

I for one hope to see a simple mission editor for OP = I lost track of many hours with EAW..

Remus · « **Reply #17 on:** August 11, 2006, 06:37:02 pm »

I hardly remember how FMSE is spelled

How much has the api changed from EAW and OP?

NuclearWessels · « **Reply #18 on:** August 11, 2006, 06:58:05 pm »

The api is very similar - there were a few extensions necessary to support the cartels, but otherwise it's pretty easy to make the transition.

Firesoul's build environment is zipped up around here somewhere, and is a very painless way to get things set back up.

I might have some notes around someplace on converting EAW scripts to OP, which would also highlight some of the key API differences, I'll see if I can dig them up.

Which reminds me.... klingon.stasis.ca is now: http://klingon.pet.dhs.org/
