There are actually more, 193 to be exact, but you only get to see half of them in the supplied group set up. Look into Custom Sprites directory.

Unfortunately, due to the difference between how sb3s and sb4s are saved/loaded, we havent been able to make sb3 loading work. A converter may or may not come.

Indeed, but again - theres nothing we can do about it. Low performance is an inherent GameMaker flaw, not poor coding of BSF.

It would be nice if you could use proper punctuation, though =P

Ooh, looks like i decided to check out the BSF forums just in the best possible time.
Now you can see every weapon's default stats instead of the stupid "default"! Hooray!

I will probably even get back to trying to design the ultimate ship price calculation system I was developing a long time ago, and which got stalled because I was too lazy to empirically find out all obscure special weapon stats, like parameters of tachyo weapons and so on...

But FUCK! there are loads of new weapons! that's alot of work!
Well, at least they don't seem to have many weird parameters.

Anyway, great job on this new version, thank you!

[edit]Oh, and where's the tournament section? Am i really that blind, ir it really has disappeared?

It was archived by AD. No one had done a tournament in forever. It's in the archive section now.

*ahem*

AD never had that kind of power, although I think he did suggest the idea.

I did yes, and then you (Arc) archived it.

Hey, I wonder are we now able to adjust the center of the section to adjust rotating axis?

You stick the seciton on a rotating section and that causes the rotation origin to be different.

The current use of the beamer section to show the Tesla could lead to some confusion, I suggest replacing it with the Uber Tesla coil cannon projector phallus thing shown here. http://www.wyrdysm.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3163
That style of weapon will go nicely on my Spaceman Spiff saucer.

Shame they've all been removed and that it's hard to make a good weapon sprite for the Tesla because of the way it works.

Oh I didn't know BF is not made on custom engine. If that's the case then indeed performance side nothing can be done about it, which is a bit of a shame really.

Or we can make a sprite resembling a tesla coil. Like the ceramic discs you see at power substations.

I wanted to make spheres (and its analogues) to be spinning around the ship, serving as ablative shields.

Isn't the guy who made the sprite still around?

You can - burry a piece to serve as the axle, and parrent the floating circles off it.

Thanks! Even though it's not that performance-friendly.

[EDIT]Actually you can't! Screen is filled with error then.
