CSS - CustomShipSets

!!! WARNING !!!
This mod got obselete by the base game ability to create faction styles / sets.
As I have hinted earlier that the API looks like this was the developers plan all along and I just rushed to implement in some sorts. The code provided in here might help others so I let the code stand here. But I will not support this mod any further.

This mod expands the procedural ship creation to be able to load ship sets from the workshop whenever a ship or station for a faction gets spawned.

It is still in development and some features are still missing.

Features done:
- Customizable Ship Sets
- Expandable through modding
- NPC factions get procedurally selected sets
- Volume scaling of ships
- Asynchronous loading
- Caching of block plans
- Station templates

Features missing:
- Material changing
- Color changing
- Fighter templates
- Turret placement
- Turret templates
- Station Extension replacement

How to use:
Right now I have only prepared a single ship set and the process of providing new sets needs to be improved. The mod works by using the ships in your local steam folder that you have subscribed to via the workshop. To have a new ship set have a look at the Nova Corp ship set I have provided.

Dedicated Servers:
As dependencies directly to ships or collections is not possible with the mod dependancy system you will have to prepare your dedicated servers manually. All the ships/collections you subscribed to are downloaded to "Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\445220". You can upload the whole content of the folder "445220" to the same location on your dedicated server. The mods will then be able to find the workshop ships.

Known Issues:
Stations like mines or shipyards spawn with appendiges. These are created by the respective scripts for these stations and are independant of the basic plan creation. I need to come up with an easy solution to that like a marker in the name of stations. I don't want to rewrite the whole station spawn mechanics and in case my mod fails the vanilla system should be able to take place.

Permissions:
Do with the mod and all it's files as you see fit. I have very limited spare time to work on this mod and if the files contained can help you develop a better version, please go ahead and make use of it.
