ADDING DESCRIPTIONS
Anything a player can buy in Vega Strike can have a text description. These are contained in the Master Part List file.
Master Parts List File
The Master Part List is a csv (comma delimited text) file which can be edited with any spreadsheet program.
NOTE: Microsoft Works has problems with the long description columns. For a free alternative, use OpenOffice.
Steps to add a new item
- Open the Master Part List file in a spreadsheet application and if you are adding a new item, add a new line. FIXME What's the meaning of this sentence?
- Fill the discription field with your description.
- To have a picture show up next to your description, preface the description with a texture (square, powers of two sides (16,64,128,256,etc)) in the following format:
@path/to/texture.png@ - Save the file as a csv file.
Example row
"file","categoryname","price","mass","volume","description" "IntaTouch","Entertainment/Aera",50,0.01,1, "@cargo/cargo-hud.png@A tactile simulator that provides an Aera with relaxing sensations."
