[RELEASE] Construction Mod + Src code

Interesting release, good job :). If you are not aware I have released a similar project a couple weeks ago. I've since then greatly improved it. Where I am getting at by saying this is maybe we can compare notes or something along those lines. I would normally have sent this as a PM but for some reason I am not able to, so let me know if you're interested.

@JDMAlex
Hm... i'm little confused, how to integrate this sco into Garage mod manager? I mean i can only swap this with sixaxis tutorial...

@SimplyT3CH
yeh we can do that , but I think the project is going no were because we cannot save the objects yet(at least I haven't found a way to) I tried with the save game but the save size limit kicks in and the game refuses to load the save with the objects..
I may just publicly release the code and hope someone figures it out.


@SILENT_Pavel
So to use this you have to do some leg work here.. How to Compile Mod Manager.. you will have to add it to the menu .. Or Easy way
just rename 1_Constructor.sco to one of the example scripts that Three-Socks put in his mod menu and just remember to select it when it loads up .

Yes I am in the exact same boat. If you can't save it in-game then you are limited in options. As soon as the script is unloaded objects will disappear and not be saved. It goes without having to say, but it can't be done script-side (obviously). Just out of curiosity have you tried using a save sphere? Allowing only the area within the sphere to save? I've seen other scripts use it but I'm not too familiar with how it works.

Anyway if you have some form of IM'ing, could you please PM me how I may contact you and we can compare notes and talk in real-time instead of steering off-topic and derailing any threads here. Thank you and I look forward to talking to you.

Save sphere? no but ill look in to it , I have MSN @ jdmalex2@hotmail.ca .

could you not build a template script upon which you would put fixed parameters in that are gotten from this script to add stuff to the game?

or there are mods to add extra stuff to the game such as the stuff thats been done at the airport could you have the script show info relevant to making a mod similar to that?

in pretty much any scenario including the saves you attempted the info to add stuff to the game would have became pretty much fixed

im not following.. do you mean have pre set scripts with stuff all ready laid out like eg existing map mods? so if let say i press x i will have a secret island?

code is now public for any interested. Get on 1st page..

what i ment was build what you want using the script, then have the script tell you the parameters for what you built which you would then put into the template script and like you said run the template with the new parameters and you have whatever you built earlier on ready to play with

Im not that good.. I just started learning this C++ last december... the source will tell you the xyz of the Object (creds to EvilB for that and Three-Socks for his examp) you just gotta compile it
