Drox Mod SDK

[Shadow]

We have finally released a Mod SDK for Drox Operative. It's a fairly small download over on the Drox Operative mod page. The SDK has a lot of documentation on how to mod Drox Operative, a few example mods, and a few tools (font/model related).

Hmm... the Font & Model Tools... how does one go about actually using them correctly...? & can the Model Tool be used to create Custom Models, like say, for Mod Fighter Bay Ships...?

If you have 3d studio max 5 (up to 9) you can create new meshes and animations. Tools and documentation here:

If you have any questions regarding mesh creation, don't hesitate to ask.

A quick question.

I've tried to mod the game and add +5 light slots (30-34)

I've moved race specific slots to 35-39.


Now the race specific slots do not show.
Is the max number of SlotIndex hardcoded again?

It is very possible that there is some hardcoded stuff with the equipment, but also equipment.mnu references slots that might need to be modified.

Any chance you ever make slots softer?
