[QUOTE=Ducky3426;44031653]How about just using the gamemode folder? Why even bother using the data folder?[/QUOTE]
The reason I want to use the data folder is because even though it is easy for simple weapons it can get complex so why not try using the data folder so you can customize weapons with out dirtying up your gamemode folder plus if we ever were to release to the workshop then it would be hard to add weapons manually and the data folder is more convenient to use.
(When I say hard I mean hard and annoying truthfully) It would be more convenient and easier to make simple to intermediate weapons without modding the base gamemode files plus this would mean that every person wouldn't download much or re-download when they enter a new server. This may require some new networking to get it to run but it should work eventually. Of course there are still some minor issues to work out but I know this is possible. Also why not.

Plus what is so bad about keeping the base folder clean. Garry's Mod keeps its base clean and most games that let you mod let you keep it clean and its not like I am preventing you from making a new weapon in the gamemode folder but I am making it easier for other people that may not feel, want, or know how to modify the lua files or may not be able to reach them due to addon folder. I'm just saying that would be using the data folder to its fullest for this gamemode.
That's a good idea but files in the data folder will not be downloaded from the server if you already have them. Even if the ones from the server are different. That's rather problematic.
That is why I am using the net library instead to replace the global include there.
[editline]24th February 2014[/editline]
Also maybe we could create something similar to resource pack stuff using the data folder eventually. The only things that would change currently though would be the text displayed but it could still work with images eventually. I also have an idea of using data folders for the console to change. Who knows what we could use the data folder for in this using the net library.
I don't want to crush yer goals, but maybe we should really wait until the ships are bloody destroyable and Ziks has created more content, so that this is worth playing. It will take a long time, but I am confident that the result will be striking. Until that I don't see the point bothering about custom weapons or anything in that direction. However I am glad that we now can look forward to June :)
Yes, I know if my idea worked and was finished soon it would be utterly useless but the point of this first is to make sure that what I plan to do is feasible (nothing has proven otherwise yet) and become optimized by the time the gamemode gets advanced and released. I wouldn't want something to be clogged with problems with errors to go instead so I am testing out and debugging and prototyping the idea and then plan to optimize and debug the optimization. This idea is, in reality, bigger then you may think and is harder too. The whole point is to have a feature that does not use more then it has to. If you plan on adding a feature (which you came up with early in) would you plan on fixing the bugs and optimize it when we can't use the base game much until you would have the feature more finished or would you rather waste time when the game comes out and prolong the feature you really want. It is all about time and when we could and when I would rather have this feature in. You wouldn't waste time making a game with features that you just test a day before release would you?or prolong the features until they are working but you only started trying to get them to work a day before release? The answer is no, why would you give a feature of a game out if it doesn't work or why would you prolong a feature that you could have added and fixed up if you just spent a good amount of time before now doing it? I don't know any reason other then time (if you already have the core mechanics in) and labor (of which we have enough of) that you should do that.
Simply, I have done this to work on a feature until it is the best it can be by release.
I'm working on fixing some bugs.
perfect. cant wait for medbay and fully finished gamemode
[QUOTE=HSRco;44169283]perfect. cant wait for medbay and fully finished gamemode[/QUOTE]
Well this stuff is a while way and there is no reason to focus solely on that yet. First we have to try and fix game breaking bugs like the console bug. Then we can add that. So to fix that bug we might need to rework the console system just a little(unless the console system is just missing something or has something done incorrectly. This is highly unlikely though). So who will join the "Console Fixing Squad" until the console bug is fixed.

No, the page is not dead, we are just waiting for around June to respond because that is when the OP is done with University for a bit at least and can mess with the game-mode again.
Its June what is the status on the mod ?

Hello everyone,
It seems that Final Frontier is dead entirely, or the devs have been working on it for an entire year without saying a word to us about anything. They won't do anything it would seem.
So I recently made a FacePunch account, and i'm a decent coder. So, how would all of you like this gamemode to be continued? If you would, please let me know by agreeing with this comment. If I get at least 10 agrees, I will start working on making new patches for the gamemode for all of you to enjoy!
I will not take credit for the work the devs ever did, I will alwase give them credit, and if they ever contact me about taking my work down, I will do so imidiately.
So, if you want this gamemode continued, made better, weapons added other then the crowbar, etc, agree with this comment. If the goal of 10 AGREES is met, then I will start a thread here on FacePunch about the gamemode being continued by me and I will begin new patches on the gamemode, and uploading them to GitHub and sending through the link to that forum post.
Good Luck everyone! I hope the goal is met so I can continue this amazing project!
(ALL CREDIT TO THE MAIN DEVS FOR ALL THE HARD WORK AND EPIC GAMEMODE IS GIVEN!!!! I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS GAMEMODE!!!!)
Final Frontier is not dead, Ziks has intentions of doing this work, and he possibly already has done some work.
Edit:
If you'd like to code, go ahead, I'm sure he'll accept your pull request if you're decent enough.

I actually suggested something like this before but I think we should just all get in touch through skype or steam or something and talk out what we want to put in the gamemode till Ziks comes back. Maybe also put it in our own repo for our own uses and stuff. I don't know just watching this go nowhere is boring and the anticipation is killing me.

Sounds good man! Again though, if I get 10 agrees i'll do it. That way I know that people actually want the gamemode continued... Again, if Ziks wants the work I do taken down, I will gladly do so. I just hope he decided to respond to us again soon! :)
If it is dead RIP Final Frontier-you showed us promise of an adventure that we will keep waiting for no matter the cirumstances
Final Frontier supposedly gets a update or response from Metapyziks after Wednesday of this week. Keep updated.
I'm graduating from university on Wednesday, and will be doing my best to pick up the project again after that. I'm honestly sorry for making you all wait, and I appreciate that I should have been far more vocal in this thread.

You're absolutely welcome to expand from the gamemode if you like, but hopefully there will be no need soon enough.

Sounds awsome bro! Hope to see a patch soon then! It's great to hear from you btw! You should let the you tubers know that your not abandoning the project... Maby a vlog post on the FinalFrontierDev channel? Still nice to hear from you! :)
Does anyone else get error spam when they download the github and try to run it? That's what's stopping me from trying to add anything.

Hey,
I went ahead and made an IRC for FinalFrontier. It's #FinalFrontierDev on [url]http://esper.net[/url]. IRC Link below:
irc://irc.esper.net:5555
Users that can verify it's them will get admin rights. Such as you spartan322, as you are the one who recomended this to us!
I don't know how you would verify it's you though... I guess we will see! I'm going to be making a thread on this as well! :)

Make sure to run the following in the project's root directory after cloning to initialize the gmtools submodule:
[code]git submodule init
git submodule update[/code]
To keep you all posted; I've fixed a few bugs including a major one where consoles would become stuck on the access screen, and now piloting is pretty functional. Missiles also have a lifetime now, so you won't end up with a huge number just orbiting a ship.
I might host this again. I've lost my map file, though.
