...I don't have permission to sticky this, so i'm just going to put the link in my sig.

I added a link to this thread in the kit itself, and cross-linked the Steam Community thread with this one. This has been a while in the making - and it's already been used to make 3 mods: the Systems Coalition Remnant, the Roiders - a faction which I haven't released because spawned blocks don't seem to understand how to use factories, and the Coral mod by Arheo.

Aller Louia!
(That joke is not translatable in English, let's just say that's a bad French pun about "Hallelujah")

Edit:
Just tested it => error on load XD
It say that:

File Parsing Failed:
FormatException: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: expected ',' or '}' after property value in object at line 5 column 264 of the JSON data

The game don't have problem!
The line 1 to 8 of my blocks.lua

I have no idea where the column 264 is, the line is 165 character long! ^^'

Eh, code is easier and less time consuming

Dangit GATC, I already had to add a load of parsing stuff because of nonstandard things you did like hex block IDs and non-hex colours! Which mod is that? Can I get a look at the full file please?

Turns out the game is actually REALLY forgiving of mistakes, and a load of things which break this parser make it into the game just fine. It's probably something I do to fix those problems which makes that one break.

Also the line numbers in the original file don't line up with the actual line numbers, since a lot of stuff has to change to turn pseudo-lua into parseable JSON

The file is not "normally" available (mod not fully finished (it's the Ethereal)).
But here it is anyway ;p

BTW, is there a quick way to clear the block list? (except hitting F5?)



Edit: Could it be the lack of "lineColor="?
