Alex, thank you so much for renderOrderMod, that is a huge thing for us! I honestly thought it would never happen and was content with WEAPONS_FRONT_TO_BACK and WEAPONS_BACK_TO_FRONT but with the latest addition too? That is great, giving full manual control when we want to do something really complex, but also having those two recently added hints as well when we need some control but just want to sledgehammer fix it easily when full manual level of control is more than is needed.

[Alex]

Awesome, glad to hear this sounds like it'll be useful!

[Blothorn]

Is there documentation on the AIFlags? (Right now I am specifically wondering whether I should be setting OK_TO_CANCEL_SYSTEM_USE_TO_VENT in a custom system/system AI for a toggle system.)

[Alex]

Is there documentation on the AIFlags?

There is not However iirc that flag is respected.

1. Is there any way not to bundle the sound effect(s) in mod (and not to write down sounds.json) if using/referring to only vanilla sounds? 'cause what worked in 0.8.1a doesn't work in 0.9. Specifically:

Code

Global.getSoundPlayer().playSound("ui_char_increase_skill", 1f, 1f, new Vector2f(), new Vector2f());

or

Code

Global.getSoundPlayer().playUISound("ui_char_increase_skill_new", 1f, 1f);

now require me to pack vanilla sound in my mod.
2. Also

Code

for (FactionAPI factionAPI :Global.getSector().getAllFactions()) {
				CampaignFleetAPI fleet = FleetFactory.createGenericFleet(factionAPI.getId(), "nothing", 1.5f, 20 ); // (int)((float)Math.random()*500f+500f)
...

fails dramatically with

Code

ERROR com.fs.starfarer.combat.CombatMain  - java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at com.fs.starfarer.campaign.Faction.pickShip(Unknown Source)

	at com.fs.starfarer.api.impl.campaign.fleets.FleetFactory.createGenericFleet(FleetFactory.java:361)
	

Moreover, pickShipAndAddToFleet and pickShip are hardcoded and not exposed and can't be debugged futher (at least with my current skills).
That also worked in 0.8.1a.
Any help is highly appreciated, thank you!

pickShip() crashes if it can't find a ship for a particular role it wants. I suspect it wouldn't work in general for the "fake" factions like neutral and poor.

Hmm - that doesn't seem right; it's really hard for me to see how that might happen. The game calls Global.getSoundPlayer().playSound() and Global.getSoundPlayer().playUISound() in numerous places, and that works - and functionally, that's equivalent from those getting called from a mod. I suspect something else is probably going wrong here.

Here is a plain test case, mod tries to play sound right after game loaded:

Code

public class Es_ModPlugin extends BaseModPlugin
{
...
public void onGameLoad(boolean newGame){
		Global.getSoundPlayer().playUISound("colony_industry_shutdown", 1f, 1f);

Without explicit description in sounds.json yields:

That issue aside,
Is there a way to add some (short) text to "onmouseover-ship's-stats-systems-weapons" overlay (like in fleet, market and recovery menus) https://imgur.com/a/tFbWmnl?

[Snrasha]

shield.setInnerRotationRate(shield.getRingRotationRate());


Hello, this method do not seems to work, or i use it badly. (I tried to give on the below shield, the same rotation)

Thank.


Also, the rotation become weird and sometime seems "glitch"

The sound id is ui_shutdown_industry, not colony_industry_shutdown. When I change it to ui_shutdown_industry in a test mod, it works fine.

There isn't, no - that bit of the UI is not set up to be configurable.

shield.setInnerRotationRate(shield.getRingRotationRate());

Hello, this method do not seems to work, or i use it badly. (I tried to give on the below shield, the same rotation)

Are you calling shield.setRadius()? That would reset the rotation rates.

Also, the rotation become weird and sometime seems "glitch"

I'm not sure what you mean so I can't really suggest anything.

[Snrasha]

Well, thank, same if this thing do not work same with the fix, strangely. Maybe because this is a omni shield? (This is a bubble where i need to change the radius many times too ><)

Thank you. I will just keep my shield like that, so ^^.

[Alex]

(This is a bubble where i need to change the radius many times too ><)

If you call setRadius(), that should be fine if you call setInnerRotationRate() and setRingRotationRate() afterwards. It's ok to do this continually.

True, but a bit "boring" to need to reput also each frame, the sprite of the shield, who is reset just after a setRadius. But maybe because the shield do not save it, so maybe this is not very important. And i will do what you say ^^.

[Asauski]

Is there any way to get the current target of point defense weapons?

[xenoargh]

Yes; if the weapon is not under player control, get the AI instance, then call getTargetShip(); if that returns null, then the target is a CombatEntityAPI, and (unfortunately) you'll have to determine that by using getTarget() and then finding the CombatEntityAPI closest to that point (which is quite expensive).
