Spawn craft

[Erv00]

Hello,

I am woking on a "multiplayer" mod now, and I have run into the following problem:
I need to spawn a craft (on the launchpad or runway, maybe in the atmosphere/orbit).

I can think of 2 ways to achive this:
1. Spawn it from a .craft file (file shareing not a problem)
2. Some way to serialize a a craft with its settings and all, and transport that data, then reconstruct

I know that I can load a craft with a ProtoVessel, bat can it be serialized? Also I would like to know how to do the 1. option (for later reference)

Help is well received!

You can serialize the protovessel to a config node, then the config node to a string. You can check the code on LMP.

@Dagger Thank you. I will look into it.
