This thread is intended for everything Battlecape mod-related.
In a couple of months, when the dev tier backers will get access, this will undoubtedly happen!
I was already able to change some configurations in the Prototype. Check out my video:
Obviously offical mod-support will take a long time. In the meanwhile, this thread also gives the developers the opportunity to tell us what is okay to mod and what they don’t like to see.
Nice! I really hope we get modding included in the game at some point! I can’t play a game for longer then a few hours before I try to take it apart and screw around with the inner workings.
It’s a great example of how tweaking a few parameters can give a very different experience. Atmospheric color/density/etc in particular can really change the mood and general appearance of a planet.
Nice to see that kind of thread
It’s not huge, but it’s certainly a step forward
About what the devs want or don’t want to see, I guesss that as long as you don’t reverse-engineer the code and distribute it, that will be fine. Some other companies sometimes accept this kind of tinkering, like Mojang for Minecraft, but it’s a bit of another story
I enabled the clouds for the mars like planet, when I viewed the planet from a distance the clouds in the day/night line look weird. In high orbit they also look bad.
Personally I think, clouds would offer more to many people than they can handle. I just had some thrilling flights (as a passenger) where many clouds was involved. Surely, the pilots did not see anything when they passed the fantastic looking structures. Great, but thrilling experience when there are a lot of invisible bumpers in the air that shake the plane.
From that perspective something like an “electronic cloud guidance support system” should be a must if clouds are in. Of course, the tactical fun would be to jam the ecgss of your opponent and play blind man’s buff…
@TARS
Meanwhile are there some other mods you tried? Would be interesting to see some different atmospheric effects, like a high density atmosphere and its effects to ships at higher speeds.
Or the rings of the planet. Is it possible to change the density of debris/asteroids and the occurence of different sizes?
