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 eddited 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.
  • 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."
