Hi, quick modding question:

I'm trying to write a small mod, that changes the offices level up skill picks. I have written my own OfficerLevelupPlugin implementation and it works fine. The problem is, that I want my mod to be compatible with the Starsector+ mod, which uses its own OfficerLevelupPlugin implementation. Is there any way to handle this conflict? Is there any way to force the game to load a specific implementation of OfficerLevelupPlugin regardless of the content of the settings.json file?

[Pushover]

Found the culprit. The sim_opponents didn't copy properly.

EDIT: Spoke too son. Nope.

Could it be the tutorial? There's an instance in RogueMinerMiscFleetManager.java when it creates the miner guard fleet. I wouldn't think that it would load, though.

[Mongreal]

Thanks Alex, I'll keep trying different things until that work.
Actually, I'm wondering if the weapon that will use such a script should be burst firing or just a regular one.
Seems like the burst mecanism may be usefull to determine if we're firing in the same spooling up sequence, but that may also be the thing that prevent the script from working.

I've tried variation of that :

Spoiler

Code

cooldown = weapon.getCooldown();
        if (weapon.isFiring() && cooldown >= minCooldown) {
            firerate = 1 / cooldown;
            nextFirerate = firerate + increment;
            nextCooldown = 1 / nextFirerate;
            weapon.setRemainingCooldownTo(nextCooldown);
        }

[close]

Dunno if isFiring() is better than getChargeLevel() >= 1f, but I don't see any change ingame.


Edit : Found something that seems to work better, by using intervals :

Spoiler

Code

charge = weapon.getChargeLevel();
        if (charge >= 0.9f) {
            if (!hasFired){
                fireInterval.advance(amount);
                if (fireInterval.intervalElapsed()) {
                    fireInterval.setInterval(0f, 1f);
                    hasFired = true;}
            }
            if (hasFired = true) {
                spoolUpInterval.advance(amount);
                if (!spoolUpInterval.intervalElapsed()) {
                        cooldown = weapon.getCooldown();
                        if (cooldown >= minCooldown) {
                            firerate = 1 / cooldown;
                            nextFirerate = firerate + (increment * spoolUpInterval.getElapsed());
                            nextCooldown = 1 / nextFirerate;
                            weapon.setRemainingCooldownTo(nextCooldown);
                        }
                    spoolUpInterval.advance(amount);
                } else if (spoolUpInterval.intervalElapsed() && charge >= 0.5f) {
                    cooldown = minCooldown;
                }
            }
        }

With that bit of code, the weapon is actually spooling up, but there is some unpredictible "cut" in the firing sequence. Also, the spool up ramp seems pretty long, looks like the firerate increase only once every three seconds or more. Any ideas on how to reduce that ramp, and why does the gun can randomly stop firing (with resuming it's spool up sequence or starting another one from 0)


Small update (but I'm still stuck !) :
I was tried to clean up my code, and end up with something that should work... If I manage to calculate if the weapon fired when the cooldown of the last shoot ended (so, the player/AI keep firing with that weapon), or if the delay was at least frame longer (meaning that during the same amount of time (here, cooldown of the last shoot elasped + 1 frame), the fire button wasn't pressed) and I can't find how to get that.
The cleaned code for the firerate (should work better with getCooldownRemaining, doesn't require a interval to ramp up or down, juste a +/- in front of the value that have to increment/decrement the firerate. Also check if we were already at the max/min firerate/cooldown, and spooling up/down ramps are more easy to work with) :

Spoiler

Code

cooldown = weapon.getCooldownRemaining();
            nextFirerate = 0f;
            firerate = 1 / cooldown;
            if (firedLastInterval) {
                if (cooldown > minCooldown) {
                    nextFirerate = firerate + modifier;     //* spoolingInterval.getElapsed())
                } else {
                    weapon.setRemainingCooldownTo(minCooldown);
                }
            } else if (!firedLastInterval) {
                if (cooldown < maxCooldown) {
                    nextFirerate = firerate - modifier;     //* spoolingInterval.getElapsed())
                } else {
                    weapon.setRemainingCooldownTo(maxCooldown);
                }
            }
            if (nextFirerate != 0f) {
                nextCooldown = 1 / nextFirerate;
                weapon.setRemainingCooldownTo(nextCooldown);
            }

If you can upload the mod somewhere and send me a link, I can take a quick look.

Well, I just f**** up massively, since I compressed the entire mod and put it on a USB to continue work on the mod on my laptop (I travel around) and now I can't find it.
Meaning, that until I get back home (not before Firday) I can't do s***.


But I do have SOME files on the USB, so I might at least do something.
Come to think of it, given the changes to sensors, will this work?

Code

package data.hullmods;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import com.fs.starfarer.api.combat.BaseHullMod;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.combat.MutableShipStatsAPI;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.combat.ShipAPI.HullSize;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.combat.ShipAPI;

public class AmplifiedSensors2 extends BaseHullMod {

	private static Map mag = new HashMap();
	static {
		mag.put(HullSize.FIGHTER, 50f);
		mag.put(HullSize.FRIGATE, 75f);
		mag.put(HullSize.DESTROYER, 100f);
		mag.put(HullSize.CRUISER, 125f);
		mag.put(HullSize.CAPITAL_SHIP, 150f);
	}
	
	public String getDescriptionParam(int index, HullSize hullSize) {
		if (index == 0) return "" + ((Float) mag.get(HullSize.FRIGATE)).intValue();
		if (index == 1) return "" + ((Float) mag.get(HullSize.DESTROYER)).intValue();
		if (index == 2) return "" + ((Float) mag.get(HullSize.CRUISER)).intValue();
		if (index == 3) return "" + ((Float) mag.get(HullSize.CAPITAL_SHIP)).intValue();
		return null;
	}
	
	
	public void applyEffectsBeforeShipCreation(HullSize hullSize, MutableShipStatsAPI stats, String id) {

		stats.getSightRadiusMod().modifyPercent(id, (Float) mag.get(hullSize));
		stats.getAutofireAimAccuracy().modifyPercent(id, 25f);
		stats.getSensorStrength().modifyPercent(id, 1000f);
	}

Where would I look to tweak the size of a given factions mods?

I'm not a fan of there being something like 6-7 Independent stations, but only one proper military station, and a subpar one at that.

[Cosmitz]

LE: Nevermind.  Game doesn't crash at load when parsing the ship_data.csv if it cannot find the ship system attached to it. It crashes within the game when it has to.

[Tartiflette]

Is there a way to ensure a tidally locked planet has the right facing to the star? I have a texture with clear day and night sides, but the planet always seems to be generated with a random angle.

I'd say your best bet is to run a script post-procgen and do the tidal-locking there (i.e. set rotation to 0, set the angle to whatever is necessary, attach a custom script that would keep this up-to-date with the orbital position, etc).

[Cosmitz]

I'm making a shipsystem, all fine and dandy, adds flux dissipation and a flat hard flux dissipation. The script. https://pastebin.com/GXTKrN7A

However... I'd like to force a vent at the end of the ship system. Maybe even with a forced short overload of 2-3 seconds. However, my knowledge of java is disasterous. I'd assume something like this?

public ShipSystemStatsScript.StatusData getStatusData(int index, ShipSystemStatsScript.State state, float effectLevel) {
      if (state == ShipSystemStatsScript.State.OUT) somethingsomething.FluxTrackerAPI().forceOverload(0) ?

I just don't know. Will prolly hit the books tomorrow.

[TrashMan]

Would still want an answer to my previous question, and I have more:

- I just took a glance at stations, can they have more than 3 sections? Anything specific I have to watch out for when making new stations?

- say I wanted to spaw a powerful alien fleet after 300 days or when a player reaches lvl10. What is the code for those conditional checks?

Is there any possibility to play in slow motion / bullet time? I know what you people think about that, probably, but really, I would really enjoy that. I would even be prepare for a paypal donate if it happened, really!

[Tartiflette]

If you have some really basic Java knowledge, you can take the Fleet Building Tounament's mission and reverse engineer the slow-mo key function.

[Deshara]

so in my question to rebalance some of the vanilla weapons, I've come upon a thing; I want to remove the rocket pod's shot spread, or at least its set-in-stone shot spread. Where is that behavior located? I see nothing in the weapons data that would indicate it
EDIT: never mind got an answer in the discord, barrel angle offset in the annihilator weapon file

[Histidine]

Is there a difference between the SECTOR and ENSURE_DELIVERY message priorities?

Do tariffs have any impact on NPC trade?

Does killing trade fleets actually affect trade flows in any way in 0.8?

- say I wanted to spaw a powerful alien fleet after 300 days or when a player reaches lvl10. What is the code for those conditional checks?
[...]
But how would I check player level and current day?

Player level: Global.getSector().getPlayerPerson().getStats().getLevel();
Current day: You can get the day/month/year displayed (e.g. 31 Jan 208) with a CampaignClockAPI (Global.getSector().getClock()), but for actually getting ingame time since start of game I don't know how to other than manually using advance() in a script added at the start of the game

[Alex]

Is there a difference between the SECTOR and ENSURE_DELIVERY message priorities?

Yes, SECTOR will expire after about a month of being undeliverable, while ENSURE_DELIVERY will stick around for 10k days before being discarded.

Also SECTOR is capped to 100 light-years - a holdover from when that was more than big enough to cover anything.

Do tariffs have any impact on NPC trade?

IIRC it does not.

Does killing trade fleets actually affect trade flows in any way in 0.8?

It does, but it's pretty obscure. Losses of trade fleets increase the "weight" of a market-market connection, making all trade along it flow with more difficulty.
