Endless Sky Ship Maker [Tool]

[Couch Potato]

After finding how easy (yet time consuming) it is to make custom ships, I decided to make a tool to auto generate the ship file. Lots of planned features is coming.

Link to tool: https://krisnarocks.github.io/Endless-Sky-Ship-Maker/

Features

• Works in all major browser (except IE)
  
• User friendly UI (more UI update coming soon!)
  
• Works in mobile (little bit of UI glitch)
  
• Complete list of outfits (as of 28/11/2016)
  
• Hardpoint editor

Planned Features

• Ship pack
  
• Complete mod maker
  
• Beautify the UI
  
• Ship category <- Coming ASAP (Added)
  
• Explosion tab (Added)
  
• Hardpoint editor
  
• Hardpoint currently selected coordinate on the ship
  
• Edit existing hardpoint
  
• Equipment status
  
• Ingame ship viewer

Leave feedback here if you want. It would help me develop this tool if you do. Thank you .

Yeah... turns out someone did that first. I aim mine for simplicity and ease of use though. Its up to the user in the end.

for what it's worth, I'll include this in contest resources. I feel that, even though Legolas beat you to this, such development should be encouraged.

It is also worth noting that legolas can't be very active anymore so you could, in theory, hit him up to take over his project and keep it up to date.

Any chance to make the ship builder interface more WYSIWYG?

[Anima]

Personally, I think you're much more asthetically inclined, and you should contact Legolas about sprucing up his already functional tool either instead of or as well as yours.

No, what I mean is when you are editing, you can see where the hardpoints are and move them around. You can see how much space you have as you add or remove outfits.

Currently, one of the most time consuming parts is having to constantly start the game up, sell and buy your ship, swap outfits, etc., just to check if everything lines up and see if your ship is moving right, all the fighters or drones are in the right place, making sure your ship has enough power and isn't over heating, etc.

Uh... couldn't you just edit your save file?
You can mess around with all the hardpoints and attributes and outfits and such in there, and then paste all of that into your plugin once you are satisfied.

...oh wait oops I forgot what this thread was about, my bad

That doesn't show all the hardpoints while you're editing. Plus it doesn't show all the information that you can find in the left hand panel in the shipyard or outfitter in game.

basically the concept seems to be to take what Legolas and Wrzlprnft did and combine them, and make them prettier.

It's an idea I can get behind, and I'm sure Legolas would give you permission to use his stuff. I'm also sure Wrzlprnft would be down to collab.

We kinda need to add the endless sky map editor to that too I'm sure. We could prolly do that, and keep it all in html format.

Basically what you're asking for is a modder's version of Endless Sky.

Actually Wrzls ship builder kinda does that.
