Scripting BC demo
« on: July 08, 2012, 04:44:03 PM »
Is it possible to script/mod (add ships) using the BC demo?

Will I still require the foundation plugin etc? I need a hobby while Im at school and scripting ALWAYS is fun for me so if I can dload the bc demo and script it (and add in new ships =)) I'd be a happy man.

So if I went into the pyc. files of the demo I wouldn't be able to change them?

Do you mean scripting missions, similar to the Singler Player campaign?  if so, there are some very good sample scripts and instructions in the SDK.

No I mean scripting the dwnloaded demo of the game. Can I alter hardpoints, add  new ships etc. to the demo that we can dload on BC files?

Unfortunately no.

I and other members much more skilled in scripting than I have tried to through the years and have had very limited success.

Unless you can figure a "workaround" so to speak, you're out of luck.

translation: what anew was asking was "can the demo be modded like regular BC, and moed just said "nope"
I bet someone would have to meddle with the EXE, and that's a no-no
