Mod Requests from Novice

[TurinTurambar]

I am not a modder; self-employed and don't have the time to invest, but I really love what some of you have done for SE:IV with mods!
If anyone could work this concept into a SE:SF mod, it would be GREAT!...
How about a database sub-program that keeps track of what systems/planets/bases you've visited and what facilities/supplies/components were available when it was Last visited? Or maybe just a screen to type system notes like in SE_IV? The thing gets huge, and it's easy to forget where the nearest help is while you're venting life-support after a nasty ambush!

Well, we can't write any plugins that you can actually activate from within the game; we'd need the source code and only Aaron has that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

So unfortunately anything you want to get into or out of the actual game data would be typed by the player...

I'm hoping Aaron puts in the ability to write plugins into SE5, since some of us around here ARE avid programmers who would love to create a space empire game ourselves but just don't have the time or motivation to do the whole thing... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
