Alright gents, this is the final BETA: ftp://www.dynaverse.net/sfc3/Utilities/sfc3_hardpoint_placer_v1.9.5.rar

A help file has been included and can be accessed in-program via the Help->Help menu item. Please test thoroughly as this is most likely the last version before the final Java based release which will be v1.9.9... v2.0 will be in C# and will use the .NET platform.

Update: TI HardPoint images have been given a facelift as you'll notice in this pic:

The above is still in Java. I've rewritten some of the GF file reading code to look and act more professional. Believe me, I originally was going about it in a ridiculous, redundant manner not realizing the power of INI file formats which the GF file follows. Code has definitely shrunk in size.

Gentlemen, I am getting more and more weary of C# the more I code in it. I've gotten alot of the code for the HP Placer translated into C#, but, believe it or not, the experience is lower in quality than the version written in Java. The hps and crosshairs leave a nasty graphics trail when moved under C#. I may just continue programming in Java and just find a utility that can convert the executable .JAR files to .EXE format for less confusion.

Alright, got it converted to exe... seems to work alright.

Now, since I don't want to up and release this and have it not work as I've made some changes to it since last beta. 'm calling on ya'll to evaluate the last version of my HardPoint placer.

You can download it here -> http://hosted.filefront.com/greenvalv/
(It's the first file: SFCIII HardPoint Placer v1.9.9)

Try to break it; I mean it. Also evaluate the help file which can be accessed in the program via Help->Help... Tell me if it needs something added or reworded.

I have been alittle fuzzy on this, only read half heartedly as I don't play SFCIII. What is the end result of the hardpoint placements? Is it for the shipedit, changes them in the game UI??

Greenvalv · « **Reply #124 on:** May 21, 2009, 04:35:44 pm »

Yeah, right now it's just a HP placer... what you edit is how the hardpoints are seen when you view a ship in the vessel library, refit a ship, or for the in-battle tactical layout. You'll have to manually add the hardpoint in the specs if you want a new one to show up in-game. When the ship editor is done (one of these millenia), you'll be able to add hardpoints via the utility.

hit the filefront download link. didn't work for me, tried it under IE and Opera (just in case Opera had a conflict, which it seems to have with somethings)

Yeah, FileFront is having a server transition problem atm. Mostly sporadic uptime...

Greenvalv · « **Reply #129 on:** May 27, 2009, 11:44:05 am »

Hey, peoples, reports please... I'd like to get this thing out. How's the help file, is it alright/understandable?

Greenvalv · « **Reply #130 on:** June 03, 2009, 05:00:59 pm »

what is this other thing I have seen in this tread that mods the Default core I would love to have a tool like that

Greenvalv · « **Reply #132 on:** June 06, 2009, 09:06:32 am »

Still working on it... tough complex little thing.

GQMarkDawg · « **Reply #133 on:** June 06, 2009, 09:28:52 am »

That thing would speed up making a mod 10 fold you know that.

Greenvalv · « **Reply #134 on:** June 13, 2009, 10:37:35 pm »

UPDATE: I've just finished rewriting the DefaultCore reader/writer. Eliminates alot of trailing whitespace; saves a whopping 4 KBs of space!!
