MASTER PART LIST

The Master Part List file contains general information on all Ships and Installations, Upgrades, Cargo items and Weapons in VegaStrike.

The Master Part List is a csv (comma delimited text) file which can be eddited with any spreadsheet program.

NOTE: Microsoft Works has problems with the long description columns. For a free alternative, use OpenOffice.

file = Name of item
categoryname = Category of item, eg starships/Merchant/Heavy or upgrades/Weapons
price = Cost of purchase
mass = Mass of item
volume = How much cargo or upgrade space the item takes up
description = Description of the item, including a link to a picture of the item.

Open the Master Part List file in a spreadsheet application and if you are adding a new item, add a new line.
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.

"VirtuArea","Entertainment/Aera",50,0.01,1,
"@cargo/cargo-hud.png@A wall hanging that projects the illusion of open space."

categoryname = Entertainment/Aera
