[Library] The great library of Particlandia

[kajacx]

This thread serves as a information hub for sharing work more easily. The main goal is to help mapmakers by providing them with easy-to find tools, ready-to-use PRPL units, custom ship modules, etc.

Ready-to-use PRPL units (Stand-alone light-weight PRPL scripts that can be placen into almost any map and do something cool)

Spoiler

• Bomb maker - Sucks surrounding particles and creates bombs that explode when near a ship.
• nicant's runners - Runners from CW3, but in particle fleet, moving on struct instead of digitalis.
• Good Morning's shipyard - A structure that increases nearby ships' building speed.

PRPL Libraries (Unitily function, convertors, and other functions that other scripts can use)

Spoiler

• Recursive list creator - Create recursive lists with ease, using "[" to start a list and "]" to end one.
• PRPL ship plan maker - Create ship plans dynamically in PRPL by specifying the hull and modules.

[close]

Custom ship modules (Universally usable custom ship modules)

Spoiler

• planetfall's custom modules solution - a base (template) for other custom modules.
• cpaca's custom modules - PassiveActiveParticleMaker, SprayerParticleMaker and PassiveParticleMaker
• a bomb spawner - A relatively simple module that spawns bomb which explode into particles.

Utilities scripts (Helps with mapmaking)

Spoiler

• Good morning's UID displaying script - useful when in editor and you want to manipulate units with PRPL
• Stickman's Alternate Land Editor - cool editor options for massive land updates - circles, squares, pyramids, ... with hotkeys!
• GoodMorning's Mandelbrot land script - shape the map by your favourite fractal
• Interactive PRPL console - execute PRPL commands in-game and see immideate changes on stack and variables
• planetfall's LandCopier script - Copy-paste entire sections of the map. Supports rotations and copying land between maps.

A simple bomb - A bomb that will explode when a ship comes nearby, releasing a bunch of particles.

It needs a new link that's in Particle Fleet >> Maps Makers, ShipBuilders, and Coders

Kajacx for the [(Good morning's script that displays units' and ships' ids - someone pls find the link)]
Is this one -> http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=23058

[kajacx]

I just remembered there was a program that covnerted an image to a PF map (it created a PRPL script that set the land height). Does anyone know the link?

Please find a place in the header of this script for the PRPL Syntax Highlighter. I'm making the topic non-sticky.
