Modding / Re: [Hotfix] [0.96a] Symbiotic Void Creatures 0.1.2-alpha

« on: September 14, 2023, 04:32:47 AM »

I'd love to hear your thoughts on balance/difficulty of the mod. I think it's hard to hit the right spot and I tend to make my content way too weak.

I will also note that, if you want to use my mirroring code, but don't want to add yet another dependency, the actual code is very simple and I'm not going to complain if you just incorporate it directly. (Especially not given that the original mirroring code I based mine off of was, in fact, your work to start with.)

Thanks for your offer, much appreciated!
I had that code implemented when the mod was still called Biomancy Genetic Engineering years ago but I could never fix the ship selection view on the left hand side of refit screen not being mirrored. Sadly it also didn't work for fleet preview on campaign layer.
I don't know if your modifications fixed that or not. If yes, I'd love to include the mirroring code since it would save me a ton of vram used.

Also, I never actually wrote that code myself, I found it in radioactive code dump and modified it back in the day. I just want to add this to make sure I don't take credit for something I didn't actually make ^^ (Coding isn't exactly my strong suit)

Thanks for letting me know, I think I forgot to delete some annotations by my proof reader.
I will fix it when I return to modding from my AC6/gaming break

hey,
i think this is a issue in your mod?

You are not on the latest version of the mod, this bug is fixed already. To make it easy, download this and replace the .jar in the jar folder of the mod:

There's an NPE when entering wierd custom systems without stars (like the tradeposts from Epta Consortium, or a certain location in the Galatia questline) with the Mobile Algae Farm hullmod.

This bug is fixed in latest version. Please re-download the mod

Mods / Re: [0.96a] Orbital Manipulation and Maintenance (updated August 23)

« on: August 17, 2023, 02:46:57 AM »

I uploaded a hotfix that is save compatible with the initial release of 0.8a. Fixed an NPE involving algae farms.

Now, enjoying the update, but I just wanted to ask if the faction description will be added, since on my end, it's still has the placeholder text if no description is present.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll fix that in a later update. Currently focused on something else.

why does the ship say critical malfunctions for the drones that are in the loadout menu? like they dont work

That is normal. The whole drone weapon swapping involves some minor hacking. Unfortunately I wasn't able to suppress that critical malfuncion floating text. You can just ignore it.

+1 praying for addition to Nexerelin

The mod actually started as a Nex only faction. You can play as or against Freitag Corporation if you wish.
Or am I misunderstanding your post and you mean something else?

Just to be clear, I'm taking a break from OMM to continue work on BGE remake aka Symbiotic Void Creatures but I will always try to kepp the mod free of bugs and game-breaking crashes. Please let me know if you find any

Modding Resources / Re: [0.96a] GraphicsLib 1.7.0

« on: June 01, 2023, 11:34:34 AM »

I'd like to exclude ships with a certain hullmod from graphicslib extra ship damage and destruction effects like smoke, burning wreckage and such, though burning wreckage can stay if it's possible for the smoke to be recoloured for these specific ships.
I'm also not a coder so a more in-depth answer (perhaps with code I can just add to my hullmod?) would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance

General Discussion / Re: Buying Story Points for Credits?

« on: May 18, 2023, 09:48:11 AM »

I would not mind that, or even some SP uses changed to use credits instead, or at least credits being another direct payment type accepted, to cut down on the mundane spam in the History tag.

Could be a questline to obtain the ability to pay credits instead of SP in certain situations. I'd like that

Quick update
- Fixed an NPE that happened when Freitag ships get their shields reduced to 10° (Shield Shunt for example)
- Shield Drones are much more effective in stats and behaviour. Consequently Euphausia and Nathantia have had their shields reduced to 10°
- Sand Hopper got its jump system back (it can jump a short distance over ships)
- fixed the faction blueprint to actually include blueprints
- changed around a lot of drone weapon slots for less missile spamability and more ballistic weapon opportunities
- includes first draft of a new ship (Koura frigate, not in campaign yet)
- removed the targeting laser until it's fixed

Is it it's own market?

Yes. Also you can take a commission there and get access to military market with enough rep.

Huh, didn't know that was a vanilla thing. Do you know what other ships have it?

The Ox used to have it. Got changed at some point to a very similar hullmod.

Bug Reports & Support (modded) / Description of monofilament tow cable

« on: May 15, 2023, 06:34:02 AM »

The text formating in the description of the hullmod is broken.
Probably very low on the priority list since no vanilla ship uses Monofilament Tow Cable anymore but I thought I should still report it.
No idea why it looks like this, description in hull_mods.csv looks fine


Screenshot of the same bug in Junkyard Dogs to show it is not specific to OMM
