debug tools mod

[hasty shadow]

Could we get an addon that adds debug things to vs?
Like:
Gravity gun for moving ships, without clockwork
Better seeing the center off mass
Graphs for performance of vs physics
Ship constraint tools (reattach parts of your ship if they fall off like when making multiple bearing mechanisms in clockwork)
Etc.

i think smth like ship constraint tool is impossible

other will be good tho

[hasty shadow]

I have no idea how vs makes bearing work, but I would believe there is always a data value that points to the ship that a bearing is connected to. So if you overwrite that value and update the ship I’d assume the new ship would snap into place

[wild storm]

you will need to make compat for each vs addon

clockwork doesn't have source available, making compat... hard

and in the future it also will probably be obfuscated

[hasty shadow]

So vs doesn’t have a base api for doing all the actions you’d likely do with vs?

[wild storm]

if it exists, i didn't see it

[wild storm]

though @toxic geyser

[toxic geyser]

huh

what are you saying spaceeye

ofc its possible

it has a base api for making constraints

that's what cw and etc use

[wild storm]

ok, but does it have base api for getting all constraints?

and modifying them

[toxic geyser]

that's not what the feature request is no?

should be possible do

[hasty shadow]

It’s partly, the constraint tool idea for modifying constraints between ships

[toxic geyser]

well not reattaching to cw bearngs

since cw code has to be updated to know that its attached again

[wild storm]

exactly the problem

[toxic geyser]

but we wanted an addon like this just hasn't been made the addon idea was

vs: source

aka garrys mod but vs2

but everything else is possible, its just that cw has to git gud and have good bearings

[wild storm]

ok, but there are NO general way to find and modify VS constraints?

[toxic geyser]

hmm if it isn't there yet we can add it fairly quickly

but thats not the problem for cw

[wild storm]

well, yes

[wild storm]

would be pretty nice

[toxic geyser]

well nobody had asked for it yet

[hasty shadow]

Here you go

[toxic geyser]

you gonna make addon?

[hasty shadow]

If I knew how to code

[toxic geyser]

well i meant nobody making a addon has asked to expose that api

[hasty shadow]

So can we get a vs:source addon?

[toxic geyser]

if somebody feels like making it
