Add newer swizzles to the ship builder

Open warp-core opened this issue 10 months ago • 4 comments

Adds swizzles 7 through 27 to the ship builder (though, I'm not entirely sure 27 is working correctly).

I haven't provided descriptions for the newly listed swizzles beyond the colour changes they make. Should they describe what factions use those swizzles, like is done for the Republic, FW, Syndicate, Merchants, and Pirates, or should they describe the actual colour changes qualitatively, like we see in the GLSL code in SpriteShader::Init4?

Must we do either? The problem with adding non-human factions is that it's technically a spoiler, and there are several people who make plugins before leaving human space. I'm not sure if this included new ships/governments, but it's worth pointing out. I think the current description that we see with the others on the code side is fine; most people using this won't know C++.


At any rate, thanks for doing this. It'll be helpful.

What is this waiting on?

I think it's waiting for the swizzle names to be updated.

I'm wondering if this should be updated with the new swizzle syntax.
