Natch's 2nd Custom Weapon Request Topic!

[Natch]

Yes. But it's nearly out of beta by now, as I've had no problems with it thus far.

[TormakSaber]

Oh, with the template exporting and importing, I don't think you need blueprint files anymore, no? You can simply post the template info right in your topic?

[Natch]

That sounds like it should work. I'll give it a try.

How do I go about doing that anyways?

[th15]

Press R with the ship component selected. It'll dump the stats to your clipboard. You can then press Ctrl-V to paste that text anywhere.

Press E to insert a template into the currently selected component. It will automatically grab what's on your clipboard.

[Da_Higg]

A missile that splits into several missiles in flight.

A missile that splits into several missiles in flight.

lets see, missiles that break into small missiles mid launch

Beaten to the punch, Higg.

[Taioko]

How about a tachyon that looks like a swirl of several Tachyons bunched together while flying torwards the ship?

Or a beamer that goes through things even when they're still not blown up?

Or a driver/any other weapon that goes into an enemy ship and then circles back around?

Or, any weapon that can warp -in- to a ship.


Just trying to throw challenges out there.

can someone explain a little more to me about clipboard?

[Arcalane]

The Clipboard is a function that's been with Windows since the very very early dates. It's basically a single-string board that can be used to copy and paste information.

For example, if you highlight something and press Ctrl-C, every time you press Ctrl-V it'll be pasted wherever your cursor is. You can also use Ctrl-X to "cut" something out of something else, then paste it in elsewhere.

Every time you use Ctrl-C to copy something, it's stored on the clipboard. But the clipboard can only hold one thing at a time. If you copy over what was on it already, then you lose whatever was already on it for good.

[derekiv]

Thanks I pretty much new that but didn't know if we were talking about the same thing.

Sice we are, I have an insight: When you open microsoft powerpoint you can save multipule things to the clipboard.

[error]

Request: A weaving array of railgun-like bullets. Sort of like the Weasel, but with no sub-munitions.

If anyone has played D-Zone, it's like the Spark Fiends.

[Normandy]

Now there's a request I'd like to do. Unless you have to have piercing, then that might be a little bit harder.

Unfortunately, I won't steal your thunder, Natch.

[TheBlueEcho]

list:

Arrows (call it the robin hood gun or somthing)
The FANCY Zeus Cannon (No, none of that zeus in a can poop, I want mine to stun, beam, electrofiy and sparkle just like as if a beam of thunder was hitting the enemy. It basically a weapon thats pleasing to the eye but you can't really use.)
Somthing that I can call a magnum.

[Natch]

Okay, apparently people don't read when I ask for more detail. So, I still need more details from the following people on the following wepaons:

Tsakara I need more information on the following weapons:
-Cluster Missiles
-Nova Bombs
-Blackhole Bombs

Also, for the ricocheting bolt weapon, I need a ship to build it on. This is due to how the weapon works.

Auriak I need more information on the following weapons:
-Shockwave weapon

TheBlueEcho I need information of the following weapons:
-Arrows
-Magnum

[ChaosTheory]

Shockwave Weapon?

Like this?

Note: A shcockwave works only in the presence of air, so it won't look good in deep space . . .
