just a little update

and where can i buy it , and i found a bug , when you reach the borg cub in the ship editor , it just covers the the next and back arrows of the editor

not really a bug but just dont move your mouse the custom sprite canbe bought at terra nova one of the derece platforms

well that is just nice , but still i can change the hull or the nacels

thats a different ship again keep going until you reach a ship with no picture its the one after that

oh man you should add this to the instructions so that i won`t ask like a noob

i think i posted one on vexxiang but i couldnt be bothered to post on here

no i mean inside the game where are the game instructions .

yeh i no what you meant i was saying id already made one

but it isen`t in the game

not in that one no but i will be in the full game.

can i put the editor in with that bug ? with a message saying:
warning editor may cause game play issues

well if you can save you plugins made whit the editor , then is useless because you will need to edit every time before loading a game or thing will be a little weird

not sure what you meant was that a yes or no

attention one word post : YES

ok i was gonna do that anyway just thought i should take an opinion

here is a thing to think about : if you can`t save the things made whit the game editor , but the game saves , and you made some huge modification , when you close the game all your work goes to the void , you need to make saves for the modification that will be saved alongside whit the saved games .

Your English never tires to confuse me, webxro

no i was thought it was agood thing that the mods go because you lose the buges that come with the game editor

@Shemuel : well i give me a break i am not good at english and then comes firefox and underlines my mistakes , but still .
@Josh : maybe you should give people a choice , to keep the mods or not .

i personnaly dont like the editor whenever i used it i always felt like i was cheating so im hesitant to make it so things can be saved

to add to that im not really sure there is a way to save changes because your editing the code that always loads at the start so as soon as you load the game again the edits are lost

Well, You Could Make It, When You Edit The Game, Through the edit tool, then you save it,
Its Only For that Save Game?

yes, i believe that can be done, because you can edit saved games in bm1(there was a topic for that)

you can make the modification to load whit the saved games as variables , and load them just like a plugin , i don`t have experience in flash to do this because all i done in flash was simple , but someone whit more experience can make it work , i know that theoretically this is possible.
and you can edit the saved games to all bm games not just bm I .

theoretically yes but i have limited flash capability and doing something like that to be honest is a bit out of my league

i made the editor so that it could save. that was like two years ago of course, but it would save. for it to work i believe you needed to create a new game, but once you did, the mods you did in the editor were always there. now like i said, it's been two years since i was fiddling around with the editor and BM2, but it can be done

its wierd when ever you touch the save button the entire editor freezzes

hm, it never used to do that. hold on, how much of the, ah, i have a theory. you added new ships and things right?

and if it works saving the modifications then i can edit them , the .sol editor .

here josh, let me have a look at your fla cause i suspect something and i want to see if it's true

yes i added about 13 new ships/stations
ill pm you a link to it

and changed the plugin texts in the preloader screen right? did you change the stats in the editor as well?

i havent got any stats in the editor as they were loading off the preloader screen which is probably what the problem is i need to change all the names in the code

ahah, ok, i know your problem. for the editor to work, in the scene that you have the editor, you need to paste the plugin stats at the begininnig, there is an order but it's difficult for me to explain. if you could just send me a fla, i could fix it for you., but what version of flash are you using?

im using mx

oh, crap. ok guess i'll have to try and explain. in vex's original editor, there were some frames in a scene at the beginning which contained the plugin texts. copy those frame and paste them at frames in front of your editor, but do not create a new scene for the texts. you need the texts in the order that vex has them as i believe that is also important. next, replace those texts with the ones you created n the preloader scene, but keep them in the same order as vex's.

ok ive done that

test it, see if it works now

you two work great as a team , and i am glad that bm II advances

well. it still has to work first

well this is a good thing that you helped him , everyone needs to learn , and any helping hand is welcomed

the editor no doubt will still be buggy, but it should be able to save, there might be one other thing too, but i'll wait to see if it works first

unfortunately i didn twork i try what i was talking about earlier

when you click save, arrgh, i need to see the code to be able to help, i'm sorry. see there are tings that i know to look for, but it only came about from experimenting and for me to get it to work, i would need to do it myself. afterwards, I could then tell you how to do it as I'm using CS4 and therefore can't export to MX

woops the save button works but the govt problem is still their but thats to be expected

so it does work now? good.

then remove the part that causes problems and you will have a working editor

well the entire editor cause a problem you can see this because when you try to load a plugin or go to the option screen the sam ething happens
@ darkwing my rank says lt.dommander no clt commander

i think the problem is that the not all the variables are loaded , this causes the vegas bug

actully it doesn't. i've checked photoshop and it is in fact a c and not a d there

here, just in case you don't believe me:

well, i resasterized the type and then took the mask tool and cut out the distortion, so it should be better now
