What features does GSpace have in regards to the Tools?
GSpace will come with a full complement of support tools for the
system administrator:
Level Designer: Users with this tool will be able to generate
level files, which describe the world in which the users will
be playing. Where various objects will be placed etc. Depending
on the settings of the server, players may have to request the
level to be added to the levels list on the server, or users may
be able to use the upload feature and have the server automatically
activate new levels.
Ship Designer: Users with this tool will be able to make new
ships, which they will then be able to fly around. Ship design
will be much more class based, for example, you could have a class
called the "F16 fighter" then you could have your ship
inherit from this, then change only the settings that make this
ship different from the class. Unlike levels, ships will most
likely be restricted since they alter the game balance of a game.
Both of these features will allow users without a level or ship
file to automatically have it down at the beginning of a new game.
