How can I access a ships hullmods through ShipSkillEffect? I want to nullify a specific hullmod via a skill effect,

[Ragni]

Can confirm this. No rule commands are found no matter where I put them (even if I do the "ruleCommandPackages" in settings.json). I'll see if I can send you copy for testing.

*edit - sent via pm

Alright, fixed it - turns out it was using the wrong classloader.

Thanks- that's awesome! Any chance I could get a copy of the fixed build for modding purposes? (can't do too much on my end until I can make it to the main menu)

I think that I am encountering the same problem.
Being very new to modding SS (and modding at all), this was very confusing.

I described my approach here and what problem i encounter: http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=12526.msg212459#msg212459

Is it possible to make a modular ship and keep it mobile (yes, it's for the Omega). Looked at the rest of the modular structures and so far I've seen that they're all immobile. Would there be a way to implement thrusters to modular structures? Also, would there be a way to keep said ship in a faction without appearing in the faction's market?

Yes, but you'll want to wait for 8.1. It adds a lot of functionality to modules.

How do I adjust reputations by custom rules?

Using 0.81 dev version, can't find out how to use AdjustRep with custom best/worst/limits/amount.

Is here a way to just turn off damage decal and glow rendering? For performance reasons; and i don't care about individual pockmarks on every ship in a large battle. TMI.

Earlier in the thread (hundreds of pages back/years ago) someone suggested pointing the damagedecal lines in hull_styles to a blank image. I haven't tried that yet but was wondering about just turning it off entirely.

I tried deleted all the damagedecal lines in hullstyles that are there, but there apparently it falls back to some default; since ships still keep getting the damagedecals/glow.

What am I looking at here?

@TrashMan

I don't know if this would cause that error, but you've got a bunch of situational values that aren't necessary.

You're making a rotary (or at least frame-animated) weapon, no? In which case, you don't actually need either the "...GunSprite" or "...GlowSprite" values. And by that I don't mean you can leave them blank: I mean you should get rid of them entirely. The same with "visualRecoil" and "RENDER_BARREL_BELOW" in renderHints.

All those values apply to different forms of weapon animation, and I have a hunch that if you try to define all of them (even with a null or zero value) for a single weapon, the game doesn't understand what form of animation you're trying to use. I could be completely wrong about that.  


However, what I think almost certainly will cause a crash is your turret/hardpoint offsets and angle offsets. Bear in mind that for each gun, the regular "offset" is a pair of coordinates (x, y) but the "angle offset" is only a single value. In other words, in those arrays there should be two integers for each gun location in "offsets" and only one in "angleOffsets".

Chances are the "index out of bounds" error here is because you're defining a single gun location in the translational offset, but then defining two in the angle offset, hence the error.

[TrashMan]

Yup, hat did it. Now I get errors for another weapon

"pd6" should go in the "tags" column, not "hints".

[Alex]

Is here a way to just turn off damage decal and glow rendering? For performance reasons; and i don't care about individual pockmarks on every ship in a large battle.

There's no way to turn it off entirely, but for performance, if you go to settings.json and change:

"forceNoVBO":true,

To false, that *may* speed it up, by making the game render damage decals using a more advanced/faster graphics card feature. It's forced off by default because it's not entirely stable - I get random crashes maybe once every 4 hours or so when it's set to false - but it could just be some combination of factors specific to my computer. Still, be warned that that *could* happen for you as well, if you give it a shot. There were also some issues on OS X - waaay back - where this was ungodly slow, as in seconds-per-frame - but I'd hope that particular driver issue has been sorted by now, as it's been years.

with the new sprite rendering order (closest to the spine above) how do I change the order weapons are rendered? can it be done?

[Alex]

@TrashMan: maybe a missing comma somewhere there or something? Don't know. That error is definitely from the game trying to interpret "pd6" as a hint, though.

with the new sprite rendering order (closest to the spine above) how do I change the order weapons are rendered? can it be done?

Hardpoints are rendered before turrets.

Within that, smaller weapons are rendered below larger ones.

Within that, missile weapons get rendered before non-missile.

After that - if all the preceding criteria are the same - distance-to-center (first on horizontal axis, then on vertical) is used as a tie-breaker.

Quick question:
Some mods are listed 0.8, and some 0,8.1 is it okay to use 0.8 ver. mod on 0.8.1 game?
