Title: Latest news on content packs?
Post by: rk on September 20, 2005, 10:11:37 am
Hi all!

I posted a couple of articles here ages ago on how to add your own system to the game and put a trader in it.  (See Poking the Source Part 1: Add a new starsystem (http://uqm.stack.nl/forum/index.php?topic=1596.0) and Poking the Source Part 2: Adding a trader  (http://uqm.stack.nl/forum/index.php?topic=1597.msg20436#msg20436)) Over a year later I've come back and looked at some of the links posted in forum messages, and I'm constantly amazed at what an awesome job the Star Control community/fanbase has done at collecting game-related information and keeping the spirit going.

I'm wondering if any progress has been made in converting game files to the XML format, and creating tools/best practices for adding new game content (new systems, plot, devices, even races).

I apologize in advance if I'm duplicating someone else's question and missed the answer.

Thanks, and keep up the great work!

-Richard

Some progress has been made (see the ChangeLog file), but XML still isn't there. Blame me.

Just updating as the links above are broken now and should read:

Poking the Source Part 1: Add a new starsystem (https://forum.uqm.stack.nl/index.php?topic=1596.0) and Poking the Source Part 2: Adding a trader (https://forum.uqm.stack.nl/index.php?topic=1597.0)

Also, curious as it's been a few years - did Content Packs arrive?
