[Suggestion] Exporting ship files

• sgtdragonfire Lieutenant July 12, 2014 16:03

  I would like to be able to take,my custom ship files out of the game, sort of like the default ships folder. It would be easier to share ships, rather than copying them from a picture. Thanks.

  Like an export button when you have a ship selected? So if you were to press it, it would have your file of the saved ship you selected on your desktop?

  More like a folder, you go into it and it has your ships.

  What would be the problem to just go to the default ships folder? Or do you just want it to be a lot easier to access.

  Yeah

  Do you want it to save in the game directory(where you start the game), or do you want to press a button to actually copy the files from the default ships folder to your game directory? I ask this because I could possibly add it to my mod to do such a thing.

  Either is fine, im ok with file digging if it is easier to mod.

  I just updated my mod and added an "export ships" and an "export defenses" button on the mod menu! It sends the folder to your game directory(where you start the game) with the folder name "shipsEXPORT" or "defensesEXPORT."

  Useful! :D I keep on being hideously tempted to put a feature into the forums that can parse and render ship definitions...
