Title: [0.9.1a]STEELCLAD v1.0.25c ( 17.11.2019)

ABOUT: This mod started as a Total Conversion (made by Okim), set in it's own universe. After it was abandoned, I picked it up, and expanded upon it. Eventually, the TC aspect was dropped (purely for my convenience)
This mod adds several new factions, tons of ships and weapons.

Before the gate system was created, when the Doman of man was in it's infancy, humanity reached for the stars. Fleets of colony sleeper ships were sent into the void, their primitive hyperdrives enabling what was then considered great speeds, but the journy would last for years. Among the many colonization efforts, there was one particuarly daring - to send a fleet of colony ships across the empty space to the neighbouring arm of the Milky Way galaxy. A dozen ships were assembled, the biggest colony ships yet made, filled with enough supplies and fuel for such a long trip.
Many years after they left, gate technology was finally perfected. Humanity fully united and the spread of the Domain of Man along it's galactic arm was rapid, and soon it begun to spread even further. With it's growing size and time, wars and rebellions broke out, and The Grand Expedition Colony Fleet was forgotten, remembered only as a curiosity by some historians, and considered long lost.

Yet, the fleet survived. Trough greatly diminished, 6 ships survived the journey, but there was no unified colonization effort, for there was no real unity in the fleet. Instead, each ship was loyal to it's own national group and they split to found colonies. For centuries they built and grew, and as their borders grew so did the tensions. Border skirmishes became ever more common and full out war broke out.
That is when the exploration ship belonging to the Domain of Man came in. The wars ceased and trading with the Domain started. Negotiations for inclusion into the Domain were well under way when the gates collapsed.
The balance of power in the sector is more fragile than ever.

FACTIONS/SHIP
Spoiler
Interstellar States of America is a large, powerful and technicaly advanced faction. ISA spends a lot of its income on technology advancement. Their ships utilize the most effective shield technology in the sector. ISA and UIN recently undergone major ship refit project that installed powerful fortress shield emitters on their cruisers and capital ships. ISA are the first and currently the only faction that mastered plasma technology and phase teleportation

Russian Stellar Federation is one of the major factions having the largest territory. RSF went a different technological pass mainly rellying on heavier and bulkier ship designs with hardened armor and reinforced structure. RSF ships utilize standard shield generators that create a stable and fixed fields. Weapons arsenal mainly consist of ballistic weapons of various calibers, laser pulse and beam weapons and ion weapons. Missiles and torpedoes doesn`t differ much from those that other factions use.
(https://i.postimg.cc/cgwWfLjt/RSF.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/cgwWfLjt)

United Interstellar Nations are competing with ISA for the 1st place in a race of the most advanced factions. Many joint-research projects conducted between the two factions lead to a series of interesting technological breakthroughs for both factions. UIN have concentrated their efforts on particle manipulation and acceleration technologies resulting in a series of interesting and unique particle weapons. Recently they have upgraded their DE, CR and BB class ships with a powerful fortress shield emitters. UIN are neutral with other factions, they have trade relations with ISA and are trading technology to XLE in return of the clearance to use their numerous space docks for their needs
(https://i.postimg.cc/T5x60XM7/UIN.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/T5x60XM7)

Xing Luo Empire is a powerful and widespan faction known for it's powerful industrial base and trade network. Their ships resemble dragon-like creatures as well as ship`s name. Weapons are primarily consist of various beams and ballistic weapons
(https://i.postimg.cc/JHQWddR1/XLE.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/JHQWddR1)

A unity of former XLE and UIN colonies that rebelled against their masters and established a self sustaining and relatively economicaly stable faction. FFS or Federation of Free Systems does not possess significant forces due to being quite young and being positioned too far away from other faction`s reach. However, FFS hatred for their former masters results in some captains performing raids in UIN and XLE space regardless of distance and travel time
(https://i.postimg.cc/NyyBf4k4/FFS.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/NyyBf4k4)

Free Traders Guild is an international organisation that focuses on trading between all factions regardless of their political and diplomatic relations with each other. Countless FTG freighter fleets, privateers, bounty hunters and mercenaries can be seen freely operating in any colonised system where there is profit to be found. FTG fleets are using either specifically designed civilian-grade ships or downgraded/decommisioned military vessels provided by each faction as a part of the International Trade Agreement.

Commonwealth of Polaris, a small faction formed by various dissidents dissillusioned with the modern society. Polaris is is an isolationist society, not caring much for what happens outside their borders. In general the PNS ships are well rounded, flexible and possessing high flux efficiency, but are expensive to field and have poor fuel and cargo capacity.

You just need a .faction file and the game should structure the fleet from the ships listed there

Hmm...any command to give me a random sector?

I kn ow I can specifiy the sector like this: getSector().getEntityById("testSector");
But what if I want a random one?
And htat includes randomly generated ones..I already know how to do it with fixed sectors

Do you mean generating a random sector or getting a random sector object from all of the sectors?

You could use getEntitiesWithTag and a random number to get a random entity with a tag, or getAllLocations with a random number.

I mean random sector from all sectors in-game (fixed + randomly generated)
A random number sounds good, but it can't be any old number - I have to know the total number of sectors.


On another note, the AI now wages war by itself, I don't need to spawn war fleet myself, right?

Once you have a List of objects, you can get a random one by using Random's nextInt.
Code
list.get(random.nextInt(list.size));

I'm fairly sure the AI will only send small detachments at each other, which isn't quite the same, but is probably decent enough for a first release.

Do all ships need bounds now? That's the one obvious thing that's missing, but I didn't think that's required.

PROGRESS:
------------------------

ship_data - done
weapon_data- done
wings_data - done
variants - mostly done
factions - mostly done

*********
FleetSpawner - unknown, untested, will probably require a complete re-write. Major factions should work without it, but Rock Flies, AI and Aliens won't spawn, since they have no held systems.

SectorGen - done

economy/markets - this is a big one, since Ironclads had big changes here, and it's a *** mess. Without a extensive re-write, I don't think I can salvage it.
systems - still looking into this, but there seems to have been some changes.

new music - kinda-sorta, big limits on faction music has nuked my current plans





@pushover... hm...still need to get a list of objects(systems). That's the problem. I can't add systems I don't know (ID) into a list

i compared the drone's csv entry to a vanilla drone.  It is lacking one field - break prob, not sure if that's necessary or not.  Other than that it looks fine.  The turning values may exceed thresholds-not sure.  Also double check that the number isnt overlapping.

getAllLocations() returns a List of LocationAPI's, which is what you want, I think...

Code
List<LocationAPI> allLocations = Global.getSector().getAllLocations();
boolean randomSystemIsHyperspace = true;
LocationAPI randomSystem;
while (randomSystemIsHyperspace) { //avoid the random system being hyperspace
    randomSystem = allLocations.get(random.nextInt(allLocations.size());
    randomSystemIsHyperspace = randomSystem.isHyperspace();

Thanks. Every little bit helps.

The coding part is the hardest for me, not because it's something I can't grasp (I know some programing from college and databases), but m time is limited and to actually write GOOD code takes a lot of time and experience.


So if anyone else wants to try and tackle the economy part, he's more than welcome.
I'm afraid without that the the entire economy will be very bare-bones.

Post by: Pushover on May 01, 2017, 08:21:19 PM
Looks like there's actually a getStarSystems() call, so you could use Global.getSector().getStarSystems() with the random method to get a random star system.

Are you using an IDE for the Java code? If not, IntelliJ is a good free one for Java, really helps figure out what you need to call.

Now, is there a function to check if a system has asteroids in it?

Also, a function to check who owns the system?

Now, is there a function to check if a system has asteroids in it?
Code
StarSystemAPI system = Global.getSector().getStarSystems().get(...);
if (system.getAsteroids().size() == 0) {
//does not have asteroids
}
else {
//has asteroids
}
Also, a function to check who owns the system?
There isn't really a way to get who owns the system, because no faction technically owns a star system, only a planet/station. Seems like the way it was done before was to add the faction tag to the system via system.addTag("RSF"), and then check with system.hasTag("RSF") and similar.


I'd be happy to look at any code, it's mostly what I'm interested messing around with (along with balance/design stuff).
Title: Re: [0.8a]Ironclads revival - WIP
Post by: TrashMan on May 03, 2017, 12:28:36 AM
Thanks.


If anyone wants to lend a hand with novel ways of populating/generating system, be my guest.
I guess I could use a semi-random algorithm that checks close systems and adds a faction tag (thus, only the core system of each faction needs to be defined),
then a second pass that populates that system with markets/stations?



Also, I'm going to do this manually, I'll accept any help in making systems.
Title: Re: [0.8a]Ironclads revival - WIP
Post by: TrashMan on May 03, 2017, 06:25:26 AM
Code
StarSystemAPI system = Global.getSector().getStarSystems().get(...);
if (system.getAsteroids().size() == 0) {
//does not have asteroids
}
else {
//has asteroids
//SOME SPAWNING CODE HERE
}


Unless I'm mistaken this will run a specific code on EVERY system with an asteroid field?

If I add something like this:
Code
Random rnd = new Random();
int rng = rnd.nextInt(8);

if (rng >= 4)
 {
                    CampaignFleetAPI fleet = FleetFactory.createGenericFleet("ROCK", "Beast", 1f, 0);

                    fleet.getFleetData().sort();
                    FleetFactory.finishAndSync(fleet);

                    spawn.getContainingLocation().addEntity(fleet);
 }

This should spawn the rock bug fleet in roughly half the sectors that have asteroids?

It depends on how you are getting a StarSystemAPI. If would run the code on every system if you put it in a for each loop. The ... I put in the get() isn't valid java, I wasn't sure exactly what you were planning, and if you were trying to do something like pick a random system and check if it has asteroids, or if you had a specific system in mind. StarSystemAPI also inherits from LocationAPI, so it is also your spawn. Putting it all together, so that each time the code runs, it will spawn a rock fleet in an average of 50% of systems that have asteroids (I hope):

Code
Random rnd;
for (StarSystemAPI system : Global.getSector().getStarSystems()) {
    if (system.getAsteroids().size() == 0) {
        //does not have asteroids
    }
    else {
        //has asteroids
        if (rnd.nextInt(8) >= 4) {
            CampaignFleetAPI fleet = FleetFactory.createGenericFleet("ROCK", "Beast", 1f, 0);
            fleet.getFleetData().sort();
            FleetFactory.finishAndSync(fleet);
            system.getContainingLocation().addEntity(fleet);
        }
    }
}

Also, not sure if you want to continue this through PMs, either continuing to post here or PMs works for me.

Post by: TrashMan on May 05, 2017, 01:20:45 AM
I have been thinking of two ways to do this:

1)
- Let normal sector generation get done
- Add the fixed core systems of each faction (placed in their respective quadrants, X/Y axis)
- make a distance check from core faction sector, and assign systems in vicinity to that faction (give faction tag), within a certain radius
- add markets and stations

Make all faction systems manually


While I PROBABLY could get no1 done, with my coding skills it would be ready somewhere around the heat death of the universe. :P

I think a lot of the code still exists from what Okim made. What you are describing is pretty much exactly what Okim did. If you look in IroncladsModPlugin.java, the code currently:
1) Generates 100 systems in a 10x10 grid shape, adding a little random x and y values to make the stars not perfectly aligned to a grid.
2) Generates planets, stations, moons, etc. through Okim's SystemComposer class. A faction and a 'menace' is assigned to each system based on its x and y location. This appears to be mostly for figuring out which derelict ships to spawn. With 0.8 this may be unneeded.
3) Generates hyperspace entrances automatically through a call to autogenerateHyperspaceJumpPoints()
3) Tags planets and moons with things like "food," "arid," "ore," and/or "gas" for later. The more 'ideal' worlds (terran, water, jungle, etc) get a "colonized" tag, less 'ideal' worlds (molten, barren, etc) get an "outpost" tag.
4) Sets a number of planets for each faction to own, and then goes through and picks random "colonized" planets to become planets colonized by the faction, based on location, then does the same for "outpost" planets. Some randomly selected planets that haven't been taken already become pirate bases.
5) Adds markets/conditions to each planet that has been colonized.

I can try writing/rewriting a lot of this, but I'm not sure of how I would actually test to see if it works... I suppose I might be able to set something up to override the vanilla sector generation, but that's where my lack of experience modding comes in...

Alex has a much more complicated version of this currently running to generate the non-core worlds.

I'm not sure what code/function changes are made for 0.8a, so I'm not even sure how much of the old code is usable.
Heck, I'm not even sure the fleet spawner script will work (until I get the systems, I can't test it either way), since the move has been made to FleetSpawnerV2 or something.


As for testing, I can easily make everything I currently make available, which at this point should be everything but system generation.
I'm manually making a few planets just to test it, but I expect a LOT of bugs and typos.

Progress Report:

- made the systems, made a bunch of stuff, including new stations, new illustrations and music.

- Currently testing (already squashed about 70 bugs, half in the original Ironclads)

Don't hate me guys, but I forgot to copy over the new files on my USB.

See, over the weekends I work on my PC and for the rest of the week I'm in another town and work on my laptop.
Made a LOT of progress over the weekend, but the files are left behind on my PC.

In other words, progress is pretty much frozen until Friday. :P
But for some good news, pretty much everything that's necessary for the mod to work is done. All that's really left is fixing bugs and bad code.

Given that I still haven't manage to start up the mod (was fixing start-up errors just before I left), I can't tell you that yet.

I have to get the mod working first, balancing comes next.
That said, I haven't touched the default Ironclads values.

What are your longer term plans with regards to Ironclads? Sounded like you are planning on adding VNS (you might want to give some background on them as a faction--what's their theme, how do they fight, what do they want?). What else did you have planned?

What are your thoughts on the current balance of Ironclads? Thoughts on every faction's theme?

My comments/opinions on Ironclads before 0.7/0.8:
Title: Re: [0.8a]Ironclads revival - WIP
Post by: TrashMan on May 09, 2017, 03:22:38 AM
VNS - small faction, kinda like FFS. Balanced performance, with a mix of new high-tech, expensive ships and modified older standard designs. Not the best ships for long-range travel due to being design more for local defense.


Plans?
Not sure. Aside from adding faction music and faction portraits, just tweaks. Will probably see if I can get some more faction stuff made, like custom stations for each faction. Definitely more ship variants.
 Thinking of making a one lore change - the last Federation dreadnought survived, but horribly damaged, and can be found in RSF space. Or something similar. Basically a way for the player to get it. It's a shame for it to be only in the simulator.

Once the mod is out, if you want to make balance adjustments, I can incorporate them, or make them available as an extra option - it's simple enough to do for ships and weapons.

That said, with all the fighter changes in 0.8, I think carriers will need the most consideration.
You do make very good points. And RSF are kings...ROCKET kings. They have best rockets IIRC.

Aside form a few, all hullmods will be retunred to vanila

I think I can provide some feedback too, but I'd rather first play Ironclads on 0.8 and see how AI goes with Ironclads's ships first. It's still trigger-happy about ships without shields...

I am not sure if you are still messing with the spawnpoints but you don't need that anymore. Fleet spawning is a lot easier now, all you need to do is set the ship types and frequency of pick in the .faction files, like you can see below (taken from hegemony.faction):

.....

All you need to do is set specific ships to one or more of those categories and the game will automatically pick them based on the type and frequency, which is set by the number after the ship name. Those names in the list are the names of the ship variant, just like the names of the variant file.

I spent too much time trying to fix fleet spawning by messing around with the wrong files and wrong code, hope I can help you not do the same :)

This would be true if spawning patrols and trade fleets were all that was needed, but there are several factions without their own ports, and several factions that have a single port, but are basically a different pirate faction.

Not sure if you played Ironclads before, but the Rock Flies, Aliens, and AI factions all have no ports on account of not being human. They won't spawn given the lack of ports.

There are also the Black Widow raiders and Marauders, who had a single port, but sent out a lot of fleets to raid/salvage.

There was also the ongoing ISA RSF war with extra large fleet battles, and battles between the FFS and UIN/XLE that was part of a custom fleet spawner.

In that case yes, he may need to set custom spawnpoints.

There was also the ongoing ISA RSF war with extra large fleet battles, and battles between the FFS and UIN/XLE that was part of a custom fleet spawner.
The ship size preference of the fleets can be set in the "doctrine" part of the faction file, so you can set the main factions to prefer capital ships over frigates for example. If you are speaking of the actual fleet size in terms of number of ships that should be limited by the fleet size cap, which is not set by spawnpoints.

No I have never played Ironclads, I am not a great "total conversion mod" fan when there are dozens of other great quality mods that add the variety and quality of life improvements I usualy want :P

It is true.
The FleetSpawner generally doesn't spawn local patrol fleets, but war fleets that travel between RSF and ISA space.

I don't know how AI handles war now, do they send actual fleets into enemy territory?


That said, I don't know of a way to spawn a fleet for a faction wihout port outside of a FleetSpawner script.



Update on the progress:

- begun work on stations. If anyone wants to make a RSF/XLE/ISA/UIN station, I'd appreciate the help.
I COULD go with a generic station, but I'd rather not.

- finished the first pass of new portraits.
XLE: 24 male, 10 female
UIN: 19 male, 10 female
FFS: 19 male, 10 female
RSF - 24 male, 10 female
ISA - 24 male, 11 female
VSN - 17 male, 10 female
Pirate - 17 male, 8 female
Neutral - 13 female, 11 full helmet, 38 male
bonus - 13+1 (logh)+3(joke)


A total of 294 portraits. I'm aiming for a round 300 or so.
Title: Re: [0.8a]Ironclads revival - WIP
Post by: TrashMan on May 13, 2017, 03:50:44 PM
UPDATE:

- Overshot 300 by a big margin. Let's just say there won't be a shortage of portraits.
- Cleaned up music and the sounds.json. A big selection of nice tracks.
- Added the VNS battelstation
- Found some snazzy various unused ships in Okims files. Will make them functional. Also adding few more of mine.
- Faction-specific stations will have to wait.
- Bugfixing progressing... hullmods are messed up and throwing errors, they are up for fixing tomorrow. 08a added a bunch of new ones.

By removing the FleetSpawner script entirely, since I couldn't get it to work. No way, no how.

After a million years of fixing a million bugs and deleting half the stuff from systems (since automatic planet generation gave me errors), IT WORKS.

I'll have a playable version tomorrow, after I added a system with aliens and AI so they can actually spawn.


This is why I want to ask anyone who actually doesn't SUCK with java like me to help me out.

You should roll music and mod into one file if mod won't run without the music...

There's a good reason for that - smaller download for new version.
Come to think of it, for new version I'm probably only going to split it into three: data, graphics, sound.

Perhaps check Axle's mod (http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=12228.0), it's about changing exactly that after all.
It'd be nice if you deleted tutorial option or moved it to option 3, so it won't get clicked accidentally.

I would recommend you switch from using notepad to smth like IntelJidea. It takes a hell lot of burden from your shoulders in regards of code errors as well as coding itself. When properly set up it actually provides you with a lot of possibilities to mod. A very lot! :)

Tried to get the campaign working using the older rules.csv from the last Ironclads version. The big thing is that you absolutely will want a jar to make this work, and you need to provide a modified rules.csv. Stripping down the Ironclads rules.csv or copying from it is probably the best place to start.
Notably, there is no setStartingRep function to be used by the rules to set up your rep with each starting faction, there is no payFee to be used for requisitioning, etc.

I'm sure there are plenty of other things missing still. I can try adding the stuff in bit by bit when I can find the time.

As Okim says, an IDE would be very helpful in figuring out how to code the Java portions. Kazi has a good guide on setting it up for modding Starsector:

You can try the fix in the attachment. Don't know if both files will be needed. I couldn't test it yet.



ALSO:
With the fighter changes (fighters tied to carriers), factions don't really work as they are supposed to. The ISA is supposed to be fighter-heavy, but they have only one carrier. Methinks I'll have to make a new ISA ship or give other ships a hangar.
Their BB just became a lot more beastly with the addition of 3 fighter bays. Balance is out of whack.

You can either increase the number of fighter bays on that carrier, increase the frequency of use in the factions file or both, at least that's what I'd do but our mods may not work similarly in this case...

Tried the fix, didn't work even after modifying mod_info.json. Are you planning to append to the default mod_info, or replace it entirely?

Append.
The rules file has JUST the game start and ship selection.

I'm not sure if the second file is necessary.

The script folder should be PLUGINS, not plugin

Got the rules.csv file working for starting the game, at least. See attached.

I copied the current vanilla rules.csv file, cut out the new game starting options, and replaced them with the ones you provided. I then replaced instead of append in mod_info.json (in general, replace should be used over append with a TC IMO)
I had some trouble with setStartingRep.java compiling that I never resolved, but since you cut it out of the rules.csv, it's unneeded and I deleted it.
I had to doctor the rules a bit to fix some minor issues (extra line with a blank space in it caused a crash, aptitude points no longer exist).

However, the game fails to create the sector. There should be a planets.json (in data/config), but there is not one provided, so barnard_star_red_dwarf is not recognized.
Code
		PlanetAPI barnard_star = system.initStar("barnard", // unique id for this barnard_star 
"barnard_star_red_dwarf",  // id in planets.json
    400f,   // radius (in pixels at default zoom)
    600); // corona radius, from barnard_star edge

You have this code in Barnard.java:
Code
        system.addRingBand(p3, "misc", "rings1", 256f, 1, new Color(75, 37, 15, 179), 256f, 700, 110f);
        system.addRingBand(p3, "misc", "rings1", 256f, 0, new Color(75, 49, 26, 179), 256f, 800, 115f);
        system.addRingBand(p3, "misc", "rings1", 256f, 0, new Color(75, 49, 26, 50), 256f, 900, 115f);
        system.addRingBand(p3, "misc", "rings1", 256f, 2, new Color(75, 49, 26, 50), 256f, 1100, 115f);
        system.addRingBand(p3, "misc", "rings1", 256f, 3, new Color(75, 49, 26, 179), 256f, 1200, 115f);

Vanilla no longer seems to make this call, for example, the code has the following in Aztlan.java:
Code
			//system.addRingBand(aztlan2, "misc", "rings1", 256f, 3, Color.white, 256f, 500, 30f);
system.addRingBand(aztlan2, "misc", "rings_dust0", 256f, 3, Color.white, 256f, 500, 33f, Terrain.RING, null);
Replacing those lines gets further in the generation, but there's a lot of issues.

Next up, it looks like Vega.java references the world type of "rocky" which has been replaced by things like "rocky_metallic".
Also, you try to set up a comm relay for the Hegemony in there.

Lomonosov attempts to create a planet of type "ice" instead of "frozen". The alien base has a duplicate id with the asteroid mining station (in custom_entities.json). It also tries to spawn for the "Alien" faction, instead of "ALIENS"
After that, Lomonosov still fails on the call to autogenerateHyperspaceJumpPoints, and I'm not sure why.

Back to the drawing board, I guess.
(http://www.sharegif.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/frustratedseinfeldfacepalmgeorge-costanza.gif)

The game has been throwing perplexing errors during the entire process.
For example, I coped a core system file and just changed planet names - game complains about NOT RECOGNIZING the command to auto-generate planets. I haven't touched it or the imported functions.

Nevermind, figured it out, you were using the variable name instead of the planet's ID for the orbit of the alien station, just the error was pointing to a strange line as to where it was failing.

Onward to the next errors!

I need a modified settings.json file to access the images you have provided. (see the illustrations object as well as hab_glows)

Most of this is fairly straightforward debugging, fortunately.



I guess at this point I should either give you a diff, or just pack and send you the modified files when I get through it all.

System generation is now error free.
Note that despite this, the game still does not run. Vanilla procedural generation still runs, and crashes because the derelict faction does not exist (and I am sure it will crash for a host of other reasons).

Few things that I need your input on or you did not include:
Line 51 of Shelezyaka.java:
Code
a1.getSpec().setGlowTexture(Global.getSettings().getSpriteName("hab_glows", "stal"));
The graphic "stal", I can't find anywhere. I've replaced it with "barren" for now. If you want to add it, make the proper entry in settings.json, and then you can reference it.

Similar issue again in Grant.java:
Code
simpson.setInteractionImage("illustrations", "simpson");
"simpson" is not an image I found anywhere. Replaced with urban01 for now. Same exists with Gianopolis.java with "vella"

Code
uomoz_scrapyard.setInteractionImage("illustrations", "orbit");
orbit does not exist. Did you mean orbital? terran_orbit? Assumed orbital.

Code
SectorEntityToken centronom_nebula = Misc.addNebulaFromPNG("data/campaign/terrain/centronom_nebula.png",
centronom_nebula is missing. Commented out the lines for now. Same with Gianopolis.

Adra.java:
Code
relay.setCircularOrbitPointingDown(system.getEntityById("zagan"), 120, 5500, 220);
Needs an existing entity to orbit. Chose "unity" for now.

Kores.java:
Code
SectorEntityToken probe = DerelictThemeGenerator.addSalvageEntity(system, Entities.DERELICT_SURVEY_PROBE, Factions.DERELICT);
Derelict faction does not exist. Changed to pirate for now. Either add the derelict faction or assign a better faction to the probe.

Impalo.java
Code
PlanetAPI horizon = system.addPlanet("horizon", impalo_star, "Horizon", "rocky", 220, 160, 4300, 180);
Rocky does not exist. Replaced with rocky_ice for now.

Thule.java: Who owns the system (and the comm relay?) I gave it to pirates.

Various other common errors fixed. Most common is probably that faction names are capitalized when referred to in a string (not "isa", "ISA" is correct)

EDIT:
It seems like removing the procgen plugin in settings.json solves part of the problem, but some parts still seem to be running and causing crashes. Seems likely due to the stuff you are trying to spawn in the various files.

Almost all of those errors are the result of replace functions. :P

Aha. Procedural generation tries to put derelicts in the systems it spawns. Obviously, the way around it is to copy the derelict faction from vanilla or overwrite it with a different one, but same name.

Looks like you need to modify custom_entities.json and figure out what to do with the probe, survey ship, and mothership, since the procgen is trying to create these and crash. We will need the derelict faction or something similar, or to rewrite the procedural generation, or possibly not use it, since it creates various custom entities that you will need to redefine.

Well, found 2 ways of dealing with this.

1) Edit salvage_entity_gen_data.csv. It seems to be responsible for generating derelicts and remnants. Remove or replace them with AI/Aliens

2) Copy Derelict and Remnant faction files and entities, but basically turn them into AI/Aliens

Oh, and the Leningrad:


"Created 60 years after the Moscow, the Leningrad was the RSF's attempt at creating a ship capable of breaking trough ISA jump point blockades. It is roughly the same size as the Moscow, and borrowing much of it's design (including the entire drive section), but that is where the similarities end.

This warship has more powerful frontal shields - the strongest of any RSF ship - and optimized engines with a powerful booster, giving it surprising speed for it's mass. Both are needed, for it's role is to dive into the enemy fleet and unleash devastating broadsides.

The Leningrad is designed like the old pre-battleship dreadnoughts, with focus on as many medium-caliber guns on each side. As a result, most guns can't face forward and the firepower it can bring forward while protected by it's shield is miniscule. This is also it's greatest weakness. In order to deal damage, the Leningrad must expose itself to return fire.

But, the sheer number of energy and ballistic medium weapons it can bring to bear can break trough the strongest shields and hulls, and heavy armor ensures it can stay alive long enough to deliver the hurt.

Got the rules.csv file working for starting the game, at least. See attached.

I copied the current vanilla rules.csv file, cut out the new game starting options, and replaced them with the ones you provided. I then replaced instead of append in mod_info.json (in general, replace should be used over append with a TC IMO)
I had some trouble with setStartingRep.java compiling that I never resolved, but since you cut it out of the rules.csv, it's unneeded and I deleted it.
I had to doctor the rules a bit to fix some minor issues (extra line with a blank space in it caused a crash, aptitude points no longer exist).

I just tested your rules.csv

Was this on load? Or was this when trying to generate a new game? Just in case somehow I had not saved the csv when I attached it or something, see attached? For me, with my mod_info I get to the main screen.

Someone needs to modify a lot of the rules.csv for the dialogue for fleet greetings and such.

I love the 2 new ships your working on. I love the style of the ships in the mod too. The ISA and the russians are my favourite. Not too keen on the other factions.
Really nice style though.  ;D

Can't find where the procgen remnant/derelict spawning is defined.

I had just hoped to replace the remnant/derelict stations with AI/Alien stations, but no luck yet.


Guess I can re-name alien/AI in the files to derelict/remnant, thus having them spawn... will try making a remnant_station set to being AI faction and see how it goes.

Not making much progress with procgen...

On the flipside, I fixed all the missions, added some more and of course, more ships and weapons. I hope I can get the procgen to work soon.

Note: if you don't want remnant/derelict/etc generation to take place, the best thing to do would be to call

SectorThemeGenerator.generators.clear()

Sometime before procgen runs, i.e. in ModPlugin.onNewGame(), or even in onApplicationLoad().

That will clear the set of "generators" that are used to populate the Sector with ruins, derelict ships, etc - basically anything salvage or exploration related, except for generating the actual star systems/planets/terrain/etc.

It's defined in DerelictThemeGenerator. If you want to use it, you will need to need a derelict faction, as the faction is hardcoded. The defense encounter is in rules.csv/SalvageDefenderInteraction.java

It's all confusing.

derelict_survey_mothership seems to be a combat group defined in hte faction file, and in it is the station_derelict_survey_mothership_Standard.variant, itself defined in the stations folder

But rules csv seems to call other things

Code

Beats me.
It's a Pavillions Dv6 with 4BG memory, but trying to Load SS with mods nets me "Out of Memeory" errors. Different java version have no effect.
Editing vparam settings in ANY way prevents the game/launcher for starting.

Well, some quick questions pop up in my head:

- How are the memory settings set in the vmparams file? like "-Xms1024m -Xmx2048m"?
- Have you installed 64 bit java 7?
- If you answered yes to the previous question, have you copied the "jre" folder from the java installation directory to the Starsector root folder?
- Which file are you using to run the game? The ".exe" or the ".bat"?

Post by: TrashMan on May 24, 2017, 03:31:07 AM
The laptop has Java 1.79 active (and 1.8.1. turned off) - both 64 bit
edting vparams in any way prevents the exe from starting. Increasing memory was the first thing I tried.
No, I run it with the bundled java (which should be java 7, and should work)
I think I used the exe.

Post by: Johnny Cocas on May 24, 2017, 12:36:36 PM
well, there's your problem.
It doesn't matter if you have Java 7 64 bit installed, you still need to copy the jre file from your java installation to the Starsector folder. If you don't do that you can't use the increased memory settings that you may set in the vmparams file because the game will run in 32 bit mode anyways...

Simply rename the "jre" folder in the SS installation directory into something like "backup_jre" and copy the "jre" folder from the java installation in the programs fodler into the game root directory and all your problems should disappear.

OK, after turning the AI into the remanant (basically, the remnant variants are part of the AI faction) and the derelict into the alines (the survey ship ship class/group in the faction file actually points to the alien mothership and all the ships variants are also alien ships) the game crashes because it cannot find the "warden" variant.

There is no warden ship in any file anywhere I see.  ???

Well, that is how it works... If the variant file does not exist an error is given :P Althugh you should not be looking for a warden ship file but for a warden .variant file in the variants folder. You probably have the "warden" variant being used in the .faction file and since the file does not actually exists the game is warning you.

I mean to say variant. I know the difference between hull and variant.

Thing is I checked the derelict faction and it definitely doesn't have any ships defined that aren't present. Only Alien frigate and alien mothership (as survey ship)

The Warden is one of the vanilla Domain drones. See CoreLifecyclePluginImpl, there is a pickShipAI that gives the ship different AI if it is a Domain drone. You can maybe override it, but not exactly sure.

Total Conversion mods are only compatible with utility mods, so it almost certainly will not work. Nexerelin works with vanilla systems and such which are replaced/removed by this mod. I may be wrong though... I never played Ironclads, only saw some gameplay videos...

If you just use the ship and weapons (and the 2-3 custom hullmods included), it should work.

So I tried to make it a NOT C and simply add he factions and ship to Starsector. Unfortunately, every single mod that adds a faction I downloaded (to take a look how it does what under the hood) ALSO has a complied jar. Is that now a requirement to get a mod to work?
FFS, this isn't user-friendly at all.

afaik you don't need scripts at all.
if there is a jar, there should be source(src) laying around for looking undr the hood purposs specifically.

use EZfaction for vanilla campaign intgeration
If you wish to build your own custom Faction using EZ Faction, you only need two things:
1.  A .faction file.
2.  A folder labeled "ezfaction" in your "data" directory, with an .ezfaction file in it.  
or read nexerelin faq for nex.campaign integration.
How do I make my mod compatible with Nexerelin?
There are a few things you need to do.
(note: add needed files and csv entries in your own mod, so you don't need a new Nexerelin release before your mod becomes Nexerelin compatible)
Spoiler
1) Stop it from crashing
Spoiler
Your sector generation code should have something like this:

Code: java
import exerelin.campaign.SectorManager;
//[...]

public class MyModPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onNewGame()
    {
boolean haveNexerelin = Global.getSettings().getModManager().isModEnabled("nexerelin");
if (!haveNexerelin || SectorManager.getCorvusMode())
   new MySectorGen().generate(Global.getSector());
    }
    //[...]
}
If you don't want to use Nexerelin as a library, it may be possible (in principle) to check for Corvus mode at the new game stage, simply by checking if Corvus (or some other vanilla system/planet) exists. I haven't tested this yet however.

Be careful with any code that targets a specific planet or star system by name! Make sure you disable it in non-Corvus mode, and don't assume a given planet will always belong to its original owner.
[close]

2) Add your faction to the list
Spoiler
Open data/config/exerelinFactionConfig and make a .json file with the name of your faction. Actually, copypaste one of the existing ones, like Templars, because it’s faster that way.

Now open your new file and edit it. See this page (https://bitbucket.org/Histidine/exerelin/wiki/FactionConfig) for details on the various tags and what they do.

Then open data/config/exerelinFactionConfig/mod_factions.csv and add your faction to the list.
[close]
3) Add your faction to rules.csv
Spoiler
There are two things to do here: the start faction selection option and faction directory (the latter lets the player find your faction’s planets and stations). Copypaste and modify the entries from Nexerelin's own rules.csv; they're self-explanatory.

(NOTE: Don't include the NGCDoesFactionExist check, it's obviously redundant when called from your faction mod and will cause it to crash to desktop when not using Nexerelin.)
[close]
4) Corvus mode support
Open data/config/exerelin/corvus_capitals.csv and corvus_spawnpoints.csv and add the appropriate entries for your faction. This tells Nexerelin where to spawn the player at start, and which planet or station changes the system relay's faction when captured.
[close]

can't speak for other players, but nexerelin compatibility is the endgoal for me. total conversions are just waste of content that makee people choose between one mod or many.

Please provide feedback on balance and improvement ideas.

I know XLE and RSF have similar specials (chaff/flares), but that how the original Ironclads had it, and ATM I have no idea how to make XLE more unique.
Also, the VNS is going to loose most of it's universal slots (though the ships are going to generally have a few Hybrid slots)

Ask and you shall receive...albeit not what you asked for. I ran into a problem when booting up starsector. The following is what the error warning told me after Starsector crashed.

Fatal: Ship hull variant [stunner_wing] not found!
Check starsector.log for more info.

I had this problem with another mod. Something simply wasn't worded correctly, and this may be the problem with the "Stunner wing"...Unfortunately I don't know what it should be called normally. Can you help me please?

Odd...boots up fine for me.

Check the following:
In the hulls, the ship_data.csv (5th line) and wing_data.csv (38th line) files for the stunner

Then check the variants/FTG folder for ftg1-f-stunner_variant.


It could be corrupt

All right, I have played a little with FFS (I will never stop laughing at that XD). There is some balance issues, but those can be fiddled with. There are really only two issues I see needing to be fixed first. Keep in mind this is purely a first impressions, I haven't actually been able to do TOO much. (I am also using Console Commands to get credits, and jump to systems)

1: XLE. You already know this (I saw your post) but they don't have a planet. ISA has a LOT, so if you need I recommend taking a couple from them and giving the XLE the planets in between ISA and RF...the Russian dudes. There is a nebula just north of the Vanilla area, that is the area I am talking about.

2: Acceleration/Speed/Burn level. This...is just weird to me. I played the Battle of Titans mission for VNS, and holy heck is the player ship fast. And the Zero Flux boost is WAY OP. I recommend taking a serious look all across the board for every ship, and maybe the fighters/bombers. (They just seem a little slow, but may just be me) I also recommend taking a look at the Burn Speeds. I don't know very much about them, but I have yet to get to burn level 18...And I have a mostly Frigate/Gunship fleet, with a couple destroyers.

One last thing: These no flux/second guns are great, but a LITTLE strong when you consider that you could get a wall of fire, and still have a zero flux speed boost. I recommend giving at least 2 flux/second for non-pd guns to negate this.

Yeah, originally Ironcalds was a TC, so the ships were balanced against themselves, not against core ships. The old Ironclads also didn't generate hyperspace storms and the universe was smaller, so that's why the burn levels are smaller.

SC ships in general have way lower armor and hull values - especially for smaller and civilian ships. The armor value a common SMALL freighter has in core is equal to a cruiser in SC. I'll have to re-balance all of that. But SC ships do seem to have more guns in general.

Yeah, I got my work cut out for me....


P.s. - the Battleship in Battle of Titans - it's a fast battleship, it's supposed to be fast. The dreadnought will murder if you if it can lock you down

You can cut down a LOT of the work by simply not letting Vanilla factions in, at least for a while (or keep as a total conversion until you have more balanced values). I would honestly prefer not having  Vanilla factions right now...Though you can have an option that lets the Vanilla factions in or not, that would actually be cool.

As for the battleship: In that case it's fair enough...though slowing down when sideways is a pain, I can live with that. (Besides, gotta make stuff difficult for a ship that can legit murder an vanilla fleet, and then two Onslaughts after all! ;)...Now if only I could kill that stupid paragon...)

Well now. Didn't think I would have to do this quite so soon. I planned on doing a play through and giving you information on it every few days, and I decided to start with RSF. I used Console commands to adjust my relations with the RSF to 80 (command "adjustrelation RSF 80"). Went to get the commission twice, and got it...twice. And lost it, instantly, twice. Yeah, something is bugged with it. No real problem as I can just spawn in the needed ships, but I would prefer not to as that's a little bit of fun taken away.

This is currently the ONLY bug that I have found, so...yeah. Till I actually do stuff with my play through I will list bugs right down here...no further. NOT THAT LOW YA DINGUS! Yeah Yeah, there.
Spoiler
Bug 1: RSF commission causes relation loss. (Loss level: 50:hostile)
Bug 2: AI Fleets (Only RSF confirmed) will pursue allied fleets as if they were a player fleet.
Bug 3: (information is minimal) Destroying a SteelClad fleet causes you to get stuck in the battle finished screen.
[close]

Edit: I have the commission now. I dunno how only thing I did differently was use the "SetCommission" command, and that had the same results when I looked.

Unless you remove many weapon slots on many ships (as a major step of their overall rebalance). SteelClads will *never* balance in a environment outside of the Total Conversion they were originally designed for. Cruisers with 3 large energy hardpoints, and ample turrets etc is completely batshit insane and that is just one example of many :)

Tis a very good point fair lad, but taking those away will make the Lord of Ludicrous Firepower mad...I seriously love it though...I do hope the number of guns doesn't get nerfed too hard at the very least.

An alternative way to do it, would be to build in weapons on ships that are over-gunned, and balance the ship around that fact. That would be tricky though, and the smarter move is really to declaw them a bit as needed.

Hmm...What about replacing some of those large mounts with built in weapons for that faction? For example: replacing a large mount on the Kursk mod.3 with a built in missile weapon, and the other large mount for a ballistic weapon?

That is exactly what I meant, in an overall broad manner of speaking. Ships that have too many weapons, get some modular slots replaced with built-ins that are a bit weak or specialized and the ship balanced for that. Yea that would work fine.

If this was my project, I would probably use both methods. Some modular slots get built-ins in their place, others just get outright removed until all the ships are more or less vanilla compliant balance wise.

While I have a separate ship_data file where I normalized various values, I'm now thinking I best leave the values.

SS ships have considerably lower hull and armor values, so I guess that it itself balances out more weapons - they simply don't have the staying power. I still don't know exactly what to do in regards to balance with vanilla.

If I can get my own sectorgen going, then maybe I can do a proper TC.

Balancing via extremes is a Bad Idea in vanilla, it can sort of work in a TC where that is the standard though. And no, things like cruisers with 3 large energy slots and good number of turrets too is not going to balance out the ships poor durability. That sort of ship can instant alpha strike nuke most anything, and that isn't very fun. I know I keep bringing up that one example, but it is the most obvious one. There are lots of things like that in the mod.

I figured out why XLE isn't getting planets.

Will update the data files later.


That said, for the first balance pass I think I'll double deployment (and other) costs for SC ships.

Messing with the turret numbers means I have to edit all the hulls, all the variants (that alone would take forever, just to match up what gun I removed with what slot) and probably edit the graphics.

This was never supposed to be a not-TC, the current state of affairs is nothing more than a compromise to have the factions playable.


P.S.
I didn't yet look at weapon balance. At a glance, SC weapons seem comparable of weaker.

I would say 1.7 deployment cost for the RSF since they don't have shields, but have a lot of guns and a lot of armor. This does make them really tough, but are vulnerable to torpedoes and torp bombers. I think that'll be a fairer balance for them than a flat double deployment cost all across the board.

Doing some comparisons now

PARAGON - 18000 Hull, 1500 armor, 25000 flux, 1250 diss, 30 speed - 4 large, 6 medium, 13 small

ISA Michigan battleship - 6500 Hull, 650 armor, 12000 flux, 1200 diss, 45 speed - 4 large, 11 med, 14 small

RSF Moscow battleship - 16000 hull, 2400 armor, 7200 flux (NO SHIELDS), 720 diss, 40 speed - 4(8?) large, 11 med, 8 small

UIN Great Britain battleship - 12000 hull, 1200 armor, 6000 flux, 1200 diss, 20 speed - 2fixed +3 large, 10 med, 16 small

XLE Great Dragon battleship - 14000 hull, 1400 armor, 120000 flux, 600 diss, 40 speed - (1fixed+4) large, 7 medium 9 small

VNS Paladin (A) battleship - 10000 hull, 1100 armor, 9000 flux, 1500 diss, 50 speed - (2+2fixed) large, 12 med, 9 small


VNS Archangel Heavy Battleship (supership, 100 deployment points) - 12500 hull, 1500 armor, 12500 flux, 2000 diss, 45 speed - 5 large (system), 17 med, 21 small



Seems like the unbalance is at the destroyer/cruiser level (SC frigates barely have an average of 1000 flux, vanilla have an average of 2200)

I'd say to focus on AI a little more before working on that. Not sure about the other factions, but the RSF fleets (combat specifically) like to...not sure what to put it as, but you know when you buy stuff off the black market and a fleet follows you to scan you?
It seems the RSF AI fleets are doing that, but can't follow through since it's not a player fleet. They end up not doing anything but sticking next to each other, and it seems that they do it the instant they see each other. (can't confirm that last part, but it does seem like it to me)

All right! I have gathered enough info that I can at least start this post...Just keep in mind that I still have a lot to learn about this mod, and that 99% of this only applies to RSF as they are all I have truly played. And because I don't wish to drop a load of stuff on you all at once, I will only talk about the stuff that I feel is major, and that the player WILL end up facing. (you are only one person after all)

P.S., Red = Important, Green = Less Important



With all that said and done, let's FINALLY continue.
First, let's start with the Weapon systems, as there are two things that I REALLY want to talk about.

"Strela-6 AFM Battery"
This is actually a fairly decent missile battery...When you fire it yourself. I have been in at least 15 battles in both the game, and simulation just testing them. The only times I have seen them fire, is when they are on a AI controlled ship. And I had a Moscow with at least 4 of these darn things.

Barracuda LRM Battery
This thing is...Very Powerful. It also gets spammed way too often in my opinion. I have nothing against this weapon other than how often it fires, and how it refuses to react to flares. I recommend making it fire half as often as it does, but do more damage, and be about half the current speed. That, or make it so it is a built in weapon and can't be bought. It's very difficult to attack a ISA fleet without having 70% of your destroyers have to pull back to not destroyed when they finally have something to shoot, and have your cruisers already have heavy damage along their front. And if the cruisers don't have the Powered Armor hullmod, they would basically just be extremely big destroyers to this weapon. Only the Moscow with a Powered Armor hullmod can really shrug off more then 2 in one area, and this I feel will be a problem in the mid game to players who don't have a Battleship yet. Point defense like the 14mm gun helps, but they don't seem that accurate, and there is still a LOT of missiles coming VERY fast.

14mm Dual Machinegun
This is actually pretty good, and I think the cost of putting one on is quite accurate. However, I think it takes a bit long to reload, could use a small damage buff to help deal with fighters, and doesn't seem to track very well. I would take the tracking with a grain of salt however, as I WAS dealing with missile spam.


All right. There's the (surprisingly few) things I think need to be looked at that aren't bugs (which will be listed after this). Even despite these problems this is still a fun mod. I really hope people start giving you more information though, because I am not very good at these things. (I play more for fun)

Bug report below!
Spoiler
Bug 1: Getting an RSF commission will cause you to lose relations with that faction, causing them to be hostile.
Bug 2: RSF AI fleets will randomly pursue each other and will get stuck doing this. They will also randomly flee from each other.
Bug 3: Destroying a fleet may get you stuck in the after combat dialogue, but I have only had this happen once.
[close]

Edit: Nexerelin works btw...but...You apparently need to but in ships for the player to choose. I couldn't choose any ships to pick as all the options were greyed out.

Missing ships? For the RSF?
It is possible I forgot to add the variants for it. It's an easy fix, one just has to copy the same code block from another faction file and replace the variant with RSF variants for the variants/RSF folder


AS for the Strela battery, I'm not sure how to address that problem. Your wording implies that the player can't fire them AND that they are great when the player uses them?????

Missing ships for all the factions...SC factions I mean. It's not just the RSF. It is possible that you forgot (that is a fairly minor thing after all!).



As for the missile battery: I mean the AI don't fire it when it's on the player ship. The player can fire them just fine, I never experienced any problems with it in that manner. Here's an example: When you set it into weapon group 2 and set that group to automatically fire, then switch to control group one and fire your weapons on that group, and Strela's still won't fire. Doesn't matter if there are other weapon systems in that group. Those missiles will never fire on their own accord.

I will try to make a recording of it in the morning, but I give no promises on that. My computer doesn't like me trying to record stuff...

The AI tends to hold fire with some weapons (especially HE missiles) until the time is right. It usually won't fire unless the target is overloaded, so no not waste limited missiles

Grats on finally getting it to work, TrashMan.

My biggest complaint thus far is how absolutely worthless the Archangel's main gun turrets (the Judgement Days) are. They punch for 500 energy and 100 EMP, with 90 rounds. Sounds pretty good, except...

They explode like a flak cannon, dealing essentially no damage to most targets. At least, thats what I observe when firing at targets, the fireball of explosion is typically just a little bit away from the actual hull of the target. This is particularly evident in the Clash of Titans mission, where you can empty your entire clip of 90 x 5 rounds into the RSF ship and not even scratch its hull.

I'd probably suggest either not making it proxy fused or simply bumping up its damage and lowering shot count and fire rate.

I haven't played through the campaign yet, probably going to wait a bit before starting that up.

For the next version, I'll tweak the HPPC (Judgment Day). Shorter proximity fuse or greater AoE. And more ammo.

Seems XLE fighters, unlike those of other factions, are using normal weapons in the loadouts, instead of figher-variants.

I noticed something odd when a single XLE battlecarrier destroyed me and my AI ally, despie having a dedicated anti-air cruiser. Yeah, 3 wings of fighters, each armed with 4 ship-grade weapons. Not fun.

That said, all fragmentation weapons have been buffed

You're probably using an old version.
I just checked, the bounding box is OK and the Macros comes with "missileracks2" built-in.

I've been doing my own basic playthroughs, but its rather difficult to test the weapons balance against each other with the vanilla factions running around in campaign.

As for the missions, the only thing I've seen so far that seems a bit overdone is the Barracuda, which has the bad habit of simply deleting the first 1-4 ships that an ISA fleet comes up against. To be fair, that seems like its intended role and maybe it should stay, but some of the ISA ships simply have too many medium missile hardpoints to make it fair. The Michigan, for example, really needs some backup weaponry but insists that it is half a missile boat.

Overall, the ballistic weapons feel a bit weaker than they should, though their flux generation is essentially negligible, their impact (or rather, their overall 'feel', inclusive of projectile size and color and their firing sounds) feel a bit low compared to missiles or energy weapons.

Post by: TrashMan on September 18, 2017, 01:01:03 AM
Yeah, originally, the ballistic weapons had 0 flux and fixed ammo (no ammo generation).
I decided to bring them more in-line with vanilla and gave them slow ammo reload and some flux generation. Still balancing and I know there are weapons that are OP ATM.

Missiles also had fixed ammo. Some powerful ones still do.
Generally, single-shot torpedoes take about 50-60 seconds to reload.

So when used with nexerelin, RSF stations seem to spawn as an uninteractable tiny space station item that sorta barely works (it functions, but players cant dock with it). This seems to be related to the RSF.json for nexerelin calling custom stations "stations_rsf", an uninteractable entity. I have swapped that personally for "rsf_orbital" which seems to work as expected.

Unrelated to direct bug fixes - Is it possible at all to make a hull mod to increase ammo reload rate? Some rsf ships seem very hamstrung by reload times, and really isnt helped by ammo racks, as those dont increase the reload rate (1 clip at 120 shots per 60 seconds, with +ammo racks is 180 to start, but reloads 120 per minute still)

Some weapons also, the 76mm battlecannon and tri-beam cannon, have a reload time of zero, causing the tooltip to react weirdly. (stock issue as far as the tooltip goes, mod issue as far as balance goes)

Bit late, but try making a "random core planets" sector using nexirilian and using the "console commands" mod to give the factions planets. It'll be a lot of work in the beginning, but it's quite effective in the long one.

Tip: "setmarketowner [planetnamehere] [faction name here]", enter it, find the next planet you want that faction to have, then go back into ctrl+backspace, and then click your up arrow. So much time saved!!!!!

I'm making decent enough progress and will hopefully be adding a few new bits and pieces.

Given that a TC is just too much of a chore, I was thinking of making changes to Steelclad lore a bit to fit in better.
Basically, a long-forgotten generational colonization feet sent out from Earth just before the gate network ended up in the corner of the sector and gave birth to the factions. Placed in the north-east corner of the map (+x, +y coord), with reduced number of systems, I'm talking 1-3 per faction.

It might be a cliche explanation, but it  neatly ties up all the loose ends.

I have see thread, and i have some many remark:

1 - Do not use rar, use zip or 7zip for compile your mod, many applications cannot decompile rar, now, where the zip is often anywhere. (For my case, yeah, but you can always use .rar if you want)
2 - Never use Mediafire, this is dangerous for people and nobody want download on this site.   Use dropfile or bitbucket.
3 - Your thread is ugly, we know nothing about STEELCLAD, you say nothing, this is a mod faction? A total conversion? A utility mod?
EDIT: Look like i have wrong in that, sorry. But look like a typo.
Quote
4 - The first line is very insult for some people, and i cannot believe you do not have see them. I am not a english, i can done some typo, but when i see:
Quote
- For Nexirilien, you will need to place the faction files and the .svs provided in Nexerelin\data\config
You do not respect Nexerelin with this fault, for me.

Edit:
Quote
WHAT IT HAS:
- custom music. Lots of it
- custom portraits, lots of them.
- new interaction images
- 1 more faction compared to IC (so more than 10 total)
- a few more ships (and more to come)
- I don't know
4 - Found the description, this thing look like a troll, because nobody can see it, like this is below the changelog who have the same font....
And for your changelog, put them on a quote or code.

Fix that fastly ><

Full of ads and potentially malicious code in said ads whether they are clicked on or not. BitBucket is the best file host for this sort of stuff, period.

Some more checks and hen it's time to compile.

Though I suck at coding and I think NetBeans is trash. Even tough I added every friggin .jar to the library there's so many "javadoc not found!" even for some core stuff like sector generation...

Hi there,

I was bored over Easter so I figured I try to fix your mod up a bit. I managed to get it to run. It even creates a sector/campaign.

If you are still around and curious have a look:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/182c-nBS5DHBiavxh1qDp6SW4fQenL7F9/view?usp=sharing

To install the runnable version you start with your latest version
FYI:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14HqZCuLBdd-ZRXVyGKujNVoOVvIMNO__/view?usp=sharing
and delete everything but the graphics and the sounds folder. Then you put the content of the zip into your modfolder. Of course you can change the mod_info.json back.
Mind you this is a runnable version, not a 100% fixed version. But it should be good enough so you can continue developing.

You can use some diff tool if you would like to see all changes:
https://alternativeto.net/software/winmerge/
I added a few comments (search BUSCHER in the files) giving a bit of context. There are also quite the other files I have changed which didn't get any comments.

A few things you probably should fix:

A few notes which might help you avoid possible problems.

Wow.
Thanks for the help.

I was waiting for 0.91  to continue, as Alex was adding some more debugging help to catch some more fringe cases.

Yeah, I'll have to re-do most of the variants, since I changed the base hull and there might be an old variant file or two remaining. And I'll look into that sound. Change it to a standard sound.

Yeah, the class and jar files aren't necessary. I also had to learn myself that compiling the Java files wasn't important since Janino does the job when starting the game. Using JD GUI (https://java-decompiler.github.io/) I saw the jar contained the same files, so I ended up ignoring it altogether as they were located elsewhere as source code.
Though I assume that the compiled files help with the loading speed when booting up the game.

As for the sound as far as I could tell it is not being triggered/called by anything yet so you can feel to ignore it for now.
I do understand Soren's concern as he uses the name "istl_ballistic_crit_sm" in his mod, so since there seems to be permission you might consider changing the name to "sc_ballistic_crit_sm" or something like that.

I was playing around a bit in the campaign and I found two items which crash the game.
In the FFS.faction in knownweapons (line 260) there are "lrg-en-ffs-tribeam" and "lrg-en-ffs-turbolas" which don't have a wpn file and an entry in weapons.csv. I don't know if you want to keep or delete them. For myself I have copied them from the rsf ones for now ("lrg-en-rsf-tribeam" and "lrg-en-ffs-turbolas")

Also since I am running Linux and Linux is a bit finicky with upper and lower cases there a few paths which do not match with the file/dictionary names.

In the folder graphics/illustrations following files should get following names:

The sound file IS from his mod, I changed it.
I also caught those errors and fixed the. Those are rsf weapons, not ffs.

There's also the issue of wrong blueprint names for the vns (I re-named the bluperint pns_bp1, pns_bp2, etc.. at some point) which caused them to only use stock ships.

Aside from that other errors I discovered are missing planet decriptions (despite them existing), an oddity with FTG (at one point I merged it with the neutral, should probably split them).
Black Widows and Marauders should also not appear among the factions
Also, after I repositioned the systems, kores is not showing up anymore, even though mission involving pirate attacks on it appeared????

Well, it kinda-sorta works for 0.91

Except the damn fighter error that I cannot decypher(wings_data look OK, only ISA and VNS fleets seem to have this issue)

And this:

I suspect it might something to do with the fact Kores system does not appear on the map. I cannot figure out why. All I did was change the coordinates of all systems. Kores is the only one that doesn't show up.

Could you perhaps share your current mod devel version (funny that you just posted it as I was writing this) and relevant savegames with a bit of description? It's kind of pointless to have a look with different code bases and having to find bugs oneself.
Perhaps it makes sense to use bitbucket/github or some other kind of versioning/collaboration tool/platform as it makes helping a little easier.

For the fighters my first hunch would be to look into the variant files as I had to fix the hullmods by removing empty strings for some VNS craft. For the system I suppose you might look into its java source (ffs_kores.java) generating the system. I'd that a look at the type (third parameter) of the addCustomEntity functions. For some reason they reference pictures in the settings.json instead of entries in the custom_entitties.json. Don't ask me why the problem did not show up earlier. And no idea about your latest NullPointer.

Edit: Nevermind the Kores one. I forgot that there is of course the original custom_entities.json too. And that the type and picture are called the same by chance.

What confounds me is that every ship works when used in missions - if something was wrong with the variants, I'd expect it to show there.

The only thing come to mind is that there is an unused/old VNS variant left, I'll have to check that. But that wouldn't explain the ISA crashes, since I haven't touched the variants there.

EDIT:
I removed the RetroDrive from the ships (still exists as a shipsystem) because the AI doesn't know how to use it.

There are 2-3 superships that aren't normally usable on those images.

As far as others go, they are generally more heavily armed, but usually cost more points to bring to the field. They usually have weak hulls and armor (except the RSF, but they usually have no shields at all)
Balance is still WIP, so you can probably expect some more changes in the future.

Any feedback is appreciated.

I am hereby asking for help in 2 areas:

- coding. I'm not good at it and whatever I code write will probably be grossly inefficient. I am in need of a custom gun fire script (log chargeup sequence), AI to handle Retro Boost shipsystem and maybe script to spawn alien fleets (though I guess I should be able to manage that, I still have the old code that used to work)

- prettyfiyng systems. Right now they are kinda barebones and I'm feeling both uninspired and strapped for time.

I might put the entire code for the mod on github so anyone can help contribute.

Steelclad Nexe Patch (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jhFNMrlvT_bUQzqqdjSr16XcXU-yr48e/view?usp=sharing)

So far it works best with a random core game playing with FFS, FTG, ISA, RSF, UIN, VNS, XLE and the latest LazyLib + Nexerlin.

I'm overjoyed to see this mod back from the grave! I remember playing it in 2016 or so and I liked these 'Earth nations in space' theme.

Just a note, I vaguely remember that Okim was not super fond of sharing his mod for anything, did you got permission, or you applied a ruling like 'not claimed since 2 years, so public now'?

I'm fine with either, because I'm so much happy to have it back! Okim would probably be happy if he ever read this forum again. Hopefully  ::)

Yeah, I got his blessing, don't worry.

While the mod is functional, there are still some things left to do:
1) add AI and ALIENS roaming the map and attacking
2) balancing (especially the weapons. Ballstics need a serious revamp.)
3) prettytfying the systems
4) At 1 new ship (RSF), maybe more
5) Bugfixing.

Wow... I missed some things when going over various ships. The ship_data does not show weapons mounts, and while destroyers and cruisers in this mod have more guns on average than core ships (a destroyer can have 3-4 mediums), one ISA destroyer stood out as quite broken.
A carrier with 3 Launch bays, 2 medium ballistic, 1 medium energy, 1 medium universal, 1 large missile and 3 small... With 5000 flux cap and 500 flux dissipation....and the one attribute that sucks is it's burn speed (6). NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERF.

I'm thinking 2 launch bays, replacing 2 medium ballisitcs with small. For starters. Probably downsizing the energy slot too.

I have tried this mod in combination of Nexerelin and so far, no issue! I can only applaud that! Having Steelclad compatible with Nexerelin, that will provide a 4X / strategy game framework would be awesome!

I have yet to see a planet take over though, but there are wars at least;

Minor remarks:
ISA color has become grey
ISF color has become (or is?) very dark red, almost close to black

Perhaps these 2 minor issues come from Nexerelin overriding the default color?

The price of some ships are just too low compared to what I would expect, although some are a bit too high. For example a light carrier at 13.000 is too low, in vanilla I think it would be around 30.000.

I'll post my progress...

There is the Missouri I added. I wanted to name it the Iowa, but there is already an Iowa destroyer. Tough I can switch the names.

It's not just Nex. Since pirates are red, Rsf got a darker color. Faction colors can be edited.
I will look into prices.
As I said, balancing this will be a loong process, so any suggestions are welcome.

What are the files to edit to tweak colors?

3 remarks so far on ISA
The Connecticut Frigate has quite some punch, in theory. Except that its logistic points are even below the ones of a Dram Tanker! A Centurion has 55, how about upping it to 45?

The ISA 'Harvester' should probably get a Salvage Gantry as others ships of similar capability.

The ISA 'Crawler' is a total crap, its a very slow freighter that transport 100. It should have one redeeming quality.

appreciate the Nex campaign feedback from vorpal+5 and TrashMan mod updates! 

Naming of Iowa vs. Missouri doesn't matter much to me...I just might suggest using the naming conventions of the respective ship classes (i.e. such as:  cruisers get state names, destroyers get, well, less stately names).

...man this is the classic situation of being in a good game instance and drooling at the mod choices for the NEXT game instance...

I need feedback on the RSF.
I'm not sure how well their concept works. No shields nad very high armor seems workable on larger ships, but not so much on small ones.
Also, the concept of low flux capacity/flux dissipation coupled with high-efficiency low-flux weapons brings other problems - like other factions equipping those weapons, making them even stronger.

Welcome to the problems I've been working on forever, lol.

In all seriousness, no-shield concepts are almost impossible to balance well, short of giving them a built-in Hull Mod that makes them virtually immune to EMP.  A pack of Thunders destroys shieldless ships easily, for example, and Xyphos or a pack of Wolves with Ion Beams, well.

And then there's what happens if they cannot get into range against stuff with Beams.

Giving a Faction broken weapons to make them "work" means that other Factions, and more importantly the player, will now have broken things to use.  Not like this is the first time a mod has done that, lol.

These were problems with the original design of Ironclads that weren't ever really addressed; the original ships were incredibly squishy and it only worked at all because it was a TC. 

Frankly, to make the RSF work... here'd be my suggestions:

1.  Built-in Hull Mod that gives them Beam / EMP resistance, but won't let them install Shields at all.
2.  Give the smaller ships Systems that allow them to choose the range of engagements, whether that means a range-boost or mobility.  It's about the only way to make them at all useful, and even then, it's dicey.
3.  Don't be afraid to keep piling on Armor until they can take some real punches.  Remember, Armor's temporary; Shields are renewable resources.  Balance in favor of survival, and do testing with fleet-scale engagements (I'd modify the Random Mission so that one side spawns RSF, the other is a grab-bag, let them all go at it and see how the dynamics feel).
4.  Don't fix the problems with weapons, Hull Mods that other ships can install, etc.  These are easy crutches that will make the mod broken in a serious game where we're expecting roughly-balanced factions.

Given that a makeshift shield is trash and RSF have bad flux/disspiation, I don't see the need to block it's installment.
I'm thinking of giving them all shields, but crappy ones.
I'm already tweaking their weapon to make them less flux efficient and boosting the flux on RSF ship to compensate a bit.

The thing that makes balancing harder is that most armor-related hulmods stopped working. I have been looking at them forever but I cannot find anything wrong and it's driving me crazy. I have armor-related hulmods that work, and comparing the code, all looks OK.

Yeah, all those things may work out; that's essentially how Low Tech works. 

To make them genuinely interesting without shields, that's the hard part.  I remember really struggling with that with the Glaug; they had a self-repair mechanic that was kind of cool, but it only worked if they survived long enough to actually get to repair; the thing about this game is that once stuff gets through Armor, TTK is quite short, usually.

"Stopped working" is pretty vague; usually that means crashy-crashy, but I presume we're talking about the in-game effect not being correct. 

I presume you're compiling your code, not just leaving it loose?  If  you want, post one of the examples that's not working properly, I'll be happy to take a look.

ingame 'powered armor' 'deflectors' hull mods should bridge the gap, but they seem uninstallable at the moment. In the older versions, these were a rather strong, but somewhat costly inclusion that generally made rsf ships extremely competitive. Its hard to say what might be needed if these are working.

Most of the rsf seems to be built around the concept of surviving one engagement - the accelerated ammo feeders tend to provide a very substantial burst potential, but the mechanical limits of armor and the frankly sluggish fleet seem to counterbalance that. Additionally, rsf weapons tend to be short on magazine capacity (and thus, staying power) over other weapons, making the accelerated ammo feeders significantly reduce actual available combat time.

If the goal is to make them stand on the power of armor and reload burst windows, giving them enough speed to dictate engagements usually an answer, though speed in starfarer is generally stronger than any other stat overall. Their design is also somewhat that of a traditional slow but bulky fleet, so it doesnt really fit thematically much, but that isnt the worst thing. As mentioned though, armor tends to work better on bigger ships than smaller ones, perhaps this would only need to particularly affect the smaller ones. rsf ships using low flux weapons also tends to mean they get low flux speed boost (with skills) relatively easily, but this is still an investment just to make them 'work'.

I recall there was some work previously on alternate shield types, though I am not sure if any current mods implement them? Giving them a shield slot version of the dampener field for example would help extend armor's usefulness substantially. As mentioned, a repair system that feels functional and usable would go a long way, but I am not sure how to make that a reality. Maybe a sort of 'replacement armor plates' use limited system that repairs some large amount of armor instantly? This at least puts rsf ships in a place where they can take multiple engagements in a battle, then do a limited retreat to start a new engagement with those charges restored?

As for the weapons, making them rely on the rsf's integrated ammo feed system somehow is a bit heavy handed but possibly needed. This at least allows the flux costs to be the low overall, forcing the player to be picky about using non-rsf (and thus, flux heavy) guns on a flux limited ship. Improved magazine loading for ballistics is probably the ideal extra thing to include here, as it already mostly fits within lore. The issue of course is some other weapons (notably, the railguns) are actually pretty good on rsf ships already due to their ability to dictate space with the improved rate of fire and range.

It looks like those hullmods are uninstallable because the code checking if each hullmod is valid excludes the hullmod itself. For example, PoweredArmour.java contains the following code:
Spoiler
@Override
   public boolean isApplicableToShip(ShipAPI ship) {
      return
      ((!ship.getVariant().getHullMods().contains("PoweredArmour")) &&
      (!ship.getVariant().getHullMods().contains("EnergyAbsorbers")) &&
      (!ship.getVariant().getHullMods().contains("comp_armor")) &&
      (!ship.getVariant().getHullMods().contains("Deflectors")));
   }
[close]
I'm not sure when isApplicableToShip is called exactly, but it automatically excludes/removes the hullmod if any of the above are already on the ship. Because Powered Armour = Powered Armour, the hullmod gets kicked off the list every time it is selected. I made it installable by removing the bit of code that checks for it, which shouldn't affect anything in a bad way because the game doesn't allow hullmods to be installed twice regardless of if isApplicableToShip gets overridden. Here's an example of the change:
Spoiler
@Override
   public boolean isApplicableToShip(ShipAPI ship) {
      return
      ((!ship.getVariant().getHullMods().contains("EnergyAbsorbers")) &&
      (!ship.getVariant().getHullMods().contains("comp_armor")) &&
      (!ship.getVariant().getHullMods().contains("Deflectors")));
   }
[close]
I tested it on an RSF battleship in the simulator and now Energy Absorbers, comp armor, and Deflectors can't be installed alongside it, as intended, but Powered Armour doesn't accidentally break itself.

What about armor attachments for the smaller ships, similar to what a low tech fortress has. Look at how much shield damage a frigate takes and give the armour shields that much health.

Yes, I have both a hull repair AND an armor repair module (2 separate ones), and bigger RSF ships tend to be far more resillient if you install them, but it comes at the cost of the already poor flux

I posted all of the code in the Misc Modding Question thread a few days ago - page 308.
Basically, the hullmods show up in the list as available/installable, but when you click on them nothing happens and they do not get applied or installed.

Weird. I'm quite sure the hullmod that works also has the same check.
But if that was the problem, it's an easy fix and one less thing I have to worry about.

overburner (and burn regulator) conflicts with itself as well, similar to the armor hullmods.

@Trashman

I have played some significant hours with the ISA ships. As I said, despite having good shields, anything under battleship is made of paper. But that's not the subject of my post.

Civilian ships:
Can you please make a comparison between the stats of the  transports/tankers ships of ISA and the ones of Vanilla? Then you should see that you can safely give a +2 burn speed and sometime extra fuel capacity (for tankers) so they stay competitive. Currently they are super slow, so nobody will want them. Also some lack cargo and some lack fuel capacity. Check these two stats too.

As for military ship, the only one that I see having an issue is the Vulture carrier, you can up his burn speed to 9 so it stays competitive with Vanilla carrier.

OK, I will look into it and give some speed/cargo boosts.

Fun Fact - the Vulture and all WDW designs (blue/black ships with energy absorbers) were originally a separate faction. I just turned them into a ISA/UIN special anti-alien task force (since aliens use energy weapons)

Steelclad is a former total conversion mod called Ironclad but its modder abandon the project. This mod, as I play, it have only ships, weapon and factions. and not much balanced for vanilla game (UIN ships are too underpowered, their armor are too low and flux cap are low tho, they're relied on fortress shield system but if you activate it you can't use weapon)

Sure, I'll gladly take a look

here it is : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R8eGFREu0Ilh8bzTzxoIeM0vH6F-8BHkC90PFeeIYio/edit?usp=sharing
You can download it as .CSV file by clicking file -> download as-> comma-separated values

I use this mod with nexerelin and it worked but it maybe causing game not responding when save right after battle end or exit from market (use with autosave) (and maybe it's not the mod's exception but from the game, since my error log show nothing that look like error message)

Balancing this to match vanilla is  a nigh impossible task. Mostly due to weapon mounts and faction specifics. And yes, UIN ship could use a buff. I think the last update has some much needed improvements to their weapons.

I've generated 3 games now and for some reason the UIN always end up allied with the pirates.
This causes some problems with their markets, which get debuffs for pirate activity, which leads to bounties that you can't cash in, because the pirates are not enemies of the UIN.

Sorry if this was already reported, I've only checked the last 3 pages and the first one.

New problem, crash on startup. I guess it has something to do with the Nexerelin check:
---------------------------
Starsector 0.9.1a-RC8
---------------------------
Fatal: Error compiling [data.scripts.SteelcladModPlugin]
Cause: File 'data/scripts/SteelcladModPlugin.java', Line 44, Column 44: Imported class "exerelin.campaign.SectorManager" could not be loaded
Check starsector.log for more info.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Edit: Managed to work around it by commenting out the following lines in SteelcladModPlugin.java:

12: import exerelin.campaign.SectorManager;
43: boolean haveNexerelin = Global.getSettings().getModManager().isModEnabled("nexerelin");
44: if (!haveNexerelin || SectorManager.getCorvusMode()){
47: }

So basically the entire check for Nexerelin.

Are you playing Nexirliien (non-Corvus mode)? Then yes. Remove the factions you don't want from the config files (config and exirilienConfig folders).
Corvus mode? You'll have to edit SteelCladgen scrip from the scripts too.

This scales up to even battleships/dreadnaughts not being able to fight stations.

Balancing is very much a work in progress, tough I don't have as much issue with SS ships against vanilla ones.

You have to remember, I took over maintainance and this project has only grown. It is bigger than any other faction mod, given the number of ships, weapons, factions, etc.. Add to I that I' m a *** programmer who never worked with .java and limited time, and you realize why this is moving so slow.

Hence why I welcome any help in any shape of form (though someone that's good with java would be the most welcome)

Aside from that, any specific feedback is welcome.

Anytime I try to interact with any of the ISA planets/stations, the game crashes with a "null" error message.  I was using the Derelict Fleet custom start and as far as I know, I installed this correctly, so I'm at a loss on how to fix this.

Can you post the bototm of the starsector.log file?

This is without Nexerelin installed/enabled. 

I downloaded the Nexerelin mod and enabled it and the game loaded properly.
Title: Re: [0.9.1]STEELCLAD v1.0.6 ( 6.06.2019) - please move to MODS
Post by: 00lewnor on August 26, 2019, 03:00:46 AM
It looks like those hullmods are uninstallable because the code checking if each hullmod is valid excludes the hullmod itself. For example, PoweredArmour.java contains the following code:
Spoiler
@Override
   public boolean isApplicableToShip(ShipAPI ship) {
      return
      ((!ship.getVariant().getHullMods().contains("PoweredArmour")) &&
      (!ship.getVariant().getHullMods().contains("EnergyAbsorbers")) &&
      (!ship.getVariant().getHullMods().contains("comp_armor")) &&
      (!ship.getVariant().getHullMods().contains("Deflectors")));
   }
[close]
I'm not sure when isApplicableToShip is called exactly, but it automatically excludes/removes the hullmod if any of the above are already on the ship. Because Powered Armour = Powered Armour, the hullmod gets kicked off the list every time it is selected. I made it installable by removing the bit of code that checks for it, which shouldn't affect anything in a bad way because the game doesn't allow hullmods to be installed twice regardless of if isApplicableToShip gets overridden. Here's an example of the change:
Spoiler
@Override
   public boolean isApplicableToShip(ShipAPI ship) {
      return
      ((!ship.getVariant().getHullMods().contains("EnergyAbsorbers")) &&
      (!ship.getVariant().getHullMods().contains("comp_armor")) &&
      (!ship.getVariant().getHullMods().contains("Deflectors")));
   }
[close]
I tested it on an RSF battleship in the simulator and now Energy Absorbers, comp armor, and Deflectors can't be installed alongside it, as intended, but Powered Armour doesn't accidentally break itself.


It looks like this problem still effects overburner, burn regulator and stealth armor.

then replace

New version will come, with a lot more balancing and tweaking.

One thing I'm unsure is how to balance the RSF. They were far too fragile so I gave them weak frontal shields. I also have a very slow armor repair hullmod that I could give them.

OK, new version up.

- Big RSF rebalance pass
- more balance tweaks in general
- custom flags should now work

comes with 2 java files. Depending if you're running Nexirilien or not, just put the one you need in Steelclad/data/scripts (after re-naming to SteelCladModPlugin.java). Overwrite if necessary.

*** UPDATED *** - 31.08.2019

(https://i.postimg.cc/Jz2FJN9g/starsector-title2-alpha.png)

ABOUT: This mod started as a Total Conversion (made by Okim), set in it's own universe. After it was abandoned, I picked it up, and expanded upon it. Eventually, the TC aspect was dropped (purely for my convenience)
This mod adds several new factions, tons of ships and weapons.

LORE
Spoiler
Before the gate system was created, when the Doman of man was in it's infancy, humanity reached for the stars. Fleets of colony sleeper ships were sent into the void, their primitive hyperdrives enabling what was then considered great speeds, but the journy would last for years. Among the many colonization efforts, there was one particuarly daring - to send a fleet of colony ships across the empty space to the neighbouring arm of the Milky Way galaxy. A dozen ships were assembled, the biggest colony ships yet made, filled with enough supplies and fuel for such a long trip.
Many years after they left, gate technology was finally perfected. Humanity fully united and the spread of the Domain of Man along it's galactic arm was rapid, and soon it begun to spread even further. With it's growing size and time, wars and rebellions broke out, and The Grand Expedition Colony Fleet was forgotten, remembered only as a curiosity by some historians, and considered long lost.

Yet, the fleet survived. Trough greatly diminished, 6 ships survived the journey, but there was no unified colonization effort, for there was no real unity in the fleet. Instead, each ship was loyal to it's own national group and they split to found colonies. For centuries they built and grew, and as their borders grew so did the tensions. Border skirmishes became ever more common and full out war broke out.
That is when the exploration ship belonging to the Domain of Man came in. The wars ceased and trading with the Domain started. Negotiations for inclusion into the Domain were well under way when the gates collapsed.
The balance of power in the sector is more fragile than ever.

FACTIONS/SHIP
Spoiler
Interstellar States of America is a large, powerful and technicaly advanced faction. ISA spends a lot of its income on technology advancement. Their ships utilize the most effective shield technology in the sector. ISA and UIN recently undergone major ship refit project that installed powerful fortress shield emitters on their cruisers and capital ships. ISA are the first and currently the only faction that mastered plasma technology and phase teleportation

Russian Stellar Federation is one of the major factions having the largest territory. RSF went a different technological pass mainly rellying on heavier and bulkier ship designs with hardened armor and reinforced structure. RSF ships utilize standard shield generators that create a stable and fixed fields. Weapons arsenal mainly consist of ballistic weapons of various calibers, laser pulse and beam weapons and ion weapons. Missiles and torpedoes doesn`t differ much from those that other factions use.

United Interstellar Nations are competing with ISA for the 1st place in a race of the most advanced factions. Many joint-research projects conducted between the two factions lead to a series of interesting technological breakthroughs for both factions. UIN have concentrated their efforts on particle manipulation and acceleration technologies resulting in a series of interesting and unique particle weapons. Recently they have upgraded their DE, CR and BB class ships with a powerful fortress shield emitters. UIN are neutral with other factions, they have trade relations with ISA and are trading technology to XLE in return of the clearance to use their numerous space docks for their needs

Xing Luo Empire is a powerful and widespan faction known for it's powerful industrial base and trade network. Their ships resemble dragon-like creatures as well as ship`s name. Weapons are primarily consist of various beams and ballistic weapons
(https://i.postimg.cc/JHQWddR1/XLE.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/JHQWddR1)

A unity of former XLE and UIN colonies that rebelled against their masters and established a self sustaining and relatively economicaly stable faction. FFS or Federation of Free Systems does not possess significant forces due to being quite young and being positioned too far away from other faction`s reach. However, FFS hatred for their former masters results in some captains performing raids in UIN and XLE space regardless of distance and travel time
(https://i.postimg.cc/NyyBf4k4/FFS.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/NyyBf4k4)

Free Traders Guild is an international organisation that focuses on trading between all factions regardless of their political and diplomatic relations with each other. Countless FTG freighter fleets, privateers, bounty hunters and mercenaries can be seen freely operating in any colonised system where there is profit to be found. FTG fleets are using either specifically designed civilian-grade ships or downgraded/decommisioned military vessels provided by each faction as a part of the International Trade Agreement.

Commonwealth of Polaris, a small faction formed by various dissidents dissillusioned with the modern society. Polaris is is an isolationist society, not caring much for what happens outside their borders. In general the PNS ships are well rounded, flexible and possessing high flux efficiency, but are expensive to field and have poor fuel and cargo capacity.

Cool stuff, the ships look a lot better than advertised, must be that black background doing them a disfavor (a mighty one at that). I had a problem with the mission list, ii_almamater to be more precise, probably also with the rest of them (the ones starting with ii_ -> del ... and ... its gone).  The music has a nice variety to it, good stuff, honestly if not for the naming X3tC mars hyper i wouldn't have recognized it, LU added 2 Gigs of Sounds and i usually listen to audiobooks while playing so no wonder i guess.

This one will keep me entertained for a while (that is once i get my CH341A) i bet, so hvala toni, vozdrav.

The mission list seem to have a few mission left from Argenikis and Stellar imperium (alas, the mission list does not append, they overwrite eachother)
The fix is easy - jsut remove the last few entries from the missions_list.csv

Btw i saw some scav's out there that are not independent faction scavs with different composition in comparison to the usual scavs that are pretending not to be pirates. Did you add them as a special sub faction or do some of you main Factions employ scavs themselves ?

If you referring to FTG ships, they are something all faction can use (they are flagged in both basic_bp and FTG_bp), so they can appear everywhere.

The Free Traders Guild has been removed as a playable faction, so you won't see them if you play core worlds. They should appear in corvus mode. Making them playable is simply a matter of changing playable to true in the faction file.

And yes, I did spend a lot of time searching for good music ad portraits. Glad someone appreciates it. Narrowing down what to use was suffering.

Domo arigato.

Those hull mods are great, adding to the logistics department while proving drawbacks to combat effectiveness and vice versa. The Supply Ships, freighters, tankers and esp utility ships like the small sensor ones a are definitive step up from the vanilla and other modded ones that i know of (HMI, DME, VAYRA's, LOA, Artefact) and feel dirt cheap in regards to their pricing. As for the more combat oriented ships, no clue Im still in the phase of doing non combat oriented mission, scuttling along as i go. Playing with Ruthless Sector and Bigger-AI Fleets makes the beginning a bit more unpredictable and combat less viable, even if there is significantly more salvage to be found.

The balance is still work in progress.
For the most part you'll find that SC ships are somewhat more heavily armed, but less armored (except the RSF, who are all armor and guns, but weak or no shields)

I'll probably have to bump the price of the Prober (and boost it's sensors) and especially Copernicus. Normally, small sensors ships are trash because of the way vanilla sensor mods work (+50% sensor range, with small ships having short ranges. So a frigate with the best sensor upgrades possible might be only as good as s stock destroyer). This is why for Copernicus, I made a sensor upgrade a flat bonus (+200), since it's basically a flying sensor with no shields.

For actual transports, space ruskies have great ones (in terms of cargo efficiency, Ox is great), with the UIN and XLE having the most heavily armed ones (but slow). The Tortoise and Manta are quite capable of defending themselves.
The best SC fuel carrier would the Poseidon (FTG design)

EDIT: Doesn`t appear that you`ve set up starting relations with the GMDA mod in Nexrelin, as the GMDA start at war with most factions but the independents(and the ASP Syndicate?)(as they raid non-independent trade fleets), and all the Steelclad factions seem not to be at war with the GMDA.

Was the Free Traders Guild removed from the base mod? I've noticed that they no longer show up in the faction directory in Nex, nor do most of their better ships spawn in the faction markets. I've been trying to track down some Poseidon tankers across the sector but they seem to not want to spawn anywhere. Enabling the independents in the faction settings doesn't correct that issue either, as they just use vanilla ships instead.

The only difference is that FG faction is set as non-playable. You can change that in the FTG.faction file.
The Poseidon is both a ftg and basic blueprint, so it should spawn everywhere.

This is an interesting mod to play with when mixed into the other mod sets, since all the ships in it seem to be heavily gunned but with average shields and weaker hulls. Very aggressive playstyles can make these fun to use, too.

Why is this so many separate files?  The OP says I just need three files but there's eight of them in the google doc and I'm not sure which ones are necessary and which ones are extra. I've tried downloading twice now and I get a fatal error about not finding VNS - Oren Theme.ogg.

Which one, because there are 2? One has more files than the other. I already put one and then the other, and also later I joined the graphic with graphic2 and nothing. I downloaded again and still giving the same error. Is there how you make the mod available without separation as you use there in your game?


Can you give a screenshot of your mods folder, one of your steelclad folder and one of your nexerelin folder ?

Here are the pictures you ask me. I downloaded the new graphics folder and still giving error. I wonder what I'm doing wrong. I just read Bizarro's comment, I thought that only I was having error. So I would like a folder with the mod already mounted, to avoid mounting error.

Hmm...I must have put the full sounds.json in the files again?

Try downloading extra music, that should fix any music issues.

Ok, I'm re-uploading the graphics files. Stand by.

I'm not sure but are you trying to start steallclad with or without Nex ? Cause that one file SteelcladModPlugin_NEX should be renamed to SteelcladModPlugin and put into the scripts folder if you want to play with nex otherwise the other one _NONEX  should be renamed and put into the scripts folder

He simply doesn't know how a mod folder is build Just a basic *** up. He probably put all other folders into data, you should put up a screenshot or smthing if you still want to keep the files segregated.

You might want to rebalance the burn speeds of most ships, i.e the Dragoon cruiser from the XLE has a base burn of 5, and a Hegemony Onslaught has a base burn of 7. Also, much harder to change and a more minor inconsistency, the ships from all the Steelclad factions seem to be a ship hull class size higher(i.e. a Steelclad frigate looks the size of a vanilla or modded faction destroyer and so on), which is a bit strange.

- The entire mod has been split into 3 compressed file for ease of distribution and updates
- create Steelclad folder in mods, and unzip all 3 files inside
- Added a little something extra - an OPTIONAL extra music file. More music. Copy it to sounds/music and the sounds.json to data/config if you want.
- Added a little something more - custom player faction flags. NOW INCLUDED INTO MAIN FILE
---->>> 2 java files are included, depending if you are using Nexirilien or not. Replace SteelcladModPlugin.java in Steelclad/data/scripts with the one you want

When you extract the main archive of Steelclad you get 2 files one ends with nex and the other with no nex ... and if you play with nex you put that file into the scripts folder exchanging the file with the one that is already in the folder ... once you have done that you just need to rename it as is in the picture and then everything will be alright ... very probable

Not my young man. I renamed the files with "nex" and then "without it", and in both cases gave error. I would like to test this mod, I did everything that is written in the description and beyond what you asked me and so far still giving error. There may be something you should not have in a folder, or if you are missing a calibration, look at the new error.

Hi. There are a lot of incorrectly named files in graphics folder.
Uppercase / lowercase related errors for and instance:
graphics/illustrations station8 and station9 are lowercase instead of uppercase.

graphics/icons/cargo bp_"put faction name here"_S not found while in folder we have bp_"put faction name here"_s. If we rename it for uppercase next error shows me that i need the lowercase version as well (Basicly there is 1 file missing?)

Some upper/lowercase misspells in sounds folder ("The" instead of "the" etc.)

Edit:
Found more:
graphics/ships folders ALIENS, VNS need a lowercase copy to run.

Also after all of this I also get a Null error when i start a new game and i get through the nex start game prompts (yes i used the java file for nex mod)

Playing with Nexerelin and a couple other factions but thats about it.

Also, there wasnt a sounds.json in the sounds dl, only in the extra music one. Don't know if theres supposed to be or not

After some changes I made here the game loads, but then when I choose the character and goes to save and generate the sector gives fatal error "null". ¬¬ I'll wait when the mod is being downloaded without separate parts, because I believe that what is functional is not separate. Still vlw for the mod, attention and patience.

That was the original design by Okim. Steelclad ships are slightly bigger, but honestly I think it looks better, because vanilla ships look far too cluttered when you put weapons on them. Especially small ones.

And XLE need a good balance pass. In terms of weapons/armor/shields they are OK-ish, but I have to go over burn, cargo, crew, etc...

as for your Environment starsector basically requires JRE 7, but as you are running ubuntu with an open version of the Development kit (11) i doubt that it would create something out of the norm not that i have much exp in regards to openjdk.

I think our other friend should try doing this too.
ASSIMKO just forgot to rename the plugin file ... probably


Not my young man. I renamed the files with "nex" and then "without it", and in both cases gave error. I would like to test this mod, I did everything that is written in the description and beyond what you asked me and so far still giving error. There may be something you should not have in a folder, or if you are missing a calibration, look at the new error.

Do you have MagicLib and LazyLib?
Bump ... cannot determine simple type color ... kinda giveaway that there is smthing fundamentally wrong with his setup
"Not my young man" ... I'm as old as the ground you walk on.

hahahahaha! I'm not young, but I'm not a floor either. I'm just as old as walking forward hahahahahahaha! And yes I have MagicLib and LazyLib. but at the moment I'm going to enjoy the starsector the way it was, then I'll try the steelclad again.

ye i forgot to include how fast replicate the crash (facepalm)

load game up

2. continue
3. start random solo ship

crash

anyway i just found the fix

remove the "impalo_star" it needs to be name of system defined in planetapi :)

Code
impalo_relay.setCircularOrbit(system.getEntityById("impalo"), 100.0F, 2000.0F, 120.0F);

Pretty sure the Integrated Radiators hullmod are not supposed to vent hard flux while the shields are up, I think it only vents the 20% passive vent rate it adds. If that is working as intended, then that hullmod is incredibly overpowered.

That fixed it. Super smoothbrained moment here considering I've edited so many other mods... I think our other friend should try doing this too.
I still think you should bundle it as one file, just for when people like me have times like this! :P But thanks! Happy to have it working finally. :)

+1 for the bundle idea, I had to delve into the comments to find the solution, I thought "sounds" folder was optional as per "music is optional"
If you are truly opposed to the bundle idea then maybe use this SS for clarification for new comers

I do actually. I have two test games running, one Corvus mode, one random.
But damn, every time I try to fix one thing, something else gets borked.

All of this is due to adding missing sensors/comms/nav beacons to missing systems in Corvus mode.

So basically, it's the systems (specifically the XLE, ISA and RSF ones, as those the ones I edited). And the PNS main system.

*Sigh*

Time to test again....

Thanks for your commitment, 
I don't know if your gotten yourself an IDE yet or are editing files through some other means, but there are things you can't fix yourself without one, like Jar files, also it makes replacing/ refactoring stuff a breeze.

Got the settings all fixed up, however now there's another issue in regards to the illustrations again. For some reason, it says "shipyard5" isn't found under illustrations, despite both the image file being there and the settings saying it is also there. Not quite sure what to do in regards to this.

@TBGamer check your
\StarSector\mods\Steelclad\data\config\settings.json

for line
Code
"Shipyard5":"graphics/illustrations/Shipyard5.jpg",

most likely you got there small not capital letters

as the there code in
\StarSector\mods\Steelclad\data\scripts\world\systems\rsf_Lomonosov.java
Code
denisovkaStation.setInteractionImage("illustrations", "Shipyard5");

which requests that capital S

I'm pretty sure I double-checked the capitalization in the last update.


@morriganj:
if the errors you are getting are complaining about images, try re-downloading the graphics.7z, as I did add some new illustration images

Cheers Dwarden, the image file had a lowercase S. On checking it, I also found that "entering_hyperspace.jpg" was named "entering_hyperspace-.jpg" in the illustrations folder which I also fixed up.

Edit: Still getting the error. "Fatal: Texture [shipyard5] from category [illustrations] not found. Check starsector.log for more info."

i was getting the same error, because of the settings.json entry

inside settings.json : filename entry must match the filenames
inside settings.json : name declaration must match the script entry (aka both same capitals)

Question 1, do you have linux or mac ?
i that case the filenames must match ini

Question 2, did you check the settings.json file entry for Shipyard5 ?

good job on finding that entering_hyperspace-.jpg because in settings.json
Code
"entering_hyperspace":"graphics/illustrations/entering_hyperspace.jpg",

@tbgamer , one more question , the code in
\StarSector\mods\Steelclad\data\scripts\world\systems\rsf_Lomonosov.java
Code
denisovkaStation.setInteractionImage("illustrations", "Shipyard5");

does it have uppercase or lowercase letter "S" at the line ?

It was lowercase. I fixed it and tried to start my game up again, only to be met with another error. "Fatal: null Check starsector.log for more info." I'd include the log itself, but It'd go over the limit. I think I messed up somewhere on the installation process? What files did I have to even download and install, since there were far more than just three and the instructions aren't all that helpful in telling which ones are the needed ones.

You don't need the whole log, just the bottom.

Also, did you download the LATEST version of the mod?

EDIT: I tested a new game, works wihout isses.
Just in case, I've put my data folder in the downloads - data_LATEST.7z

I forgot to fix that. Will hotfix it later.

Also, methinks I'll have to build a jar again, just to speed up loading.

Anyway, new version up

Log for v1.0.19
- Apocalypse torpedo now deals 1000 explosive damage and 500 energy damage. New graphics
- Dedalus Carrier graphics updated
- Lexington graphics updated. Some weapon mounts have been shuffled around, but remain the same.
- a few miner weapon stat tweaks. Still got a long way to go.

You are doing great, m8.
I don't know about the speeding up part, but please always add the source files with the jar maybe as a separate DL if you are willing to share it.

Personally I'd prefer not having a jar unless you need it for generics or whatever, at least until the mod is not being updated quite so often (closer to a "finished" state). Makes it easy to modify stuff. It doesn't seem to load slowly for me either.

It's your mod so do whatever you think is right; just giving my preference.

I found a few things to fix. The energy weapon blueprint has a typo: eb instead of en. I dunno if you want them to use the weapon blueprint graphic; if you do they need to be set to bp_rsf_w.png
Code
"rsf_wpackage_bal":"graphics/icons/cargo/bp_rsf.png",
"rsf_wpackage_eb":"graphics/icons/cargo/bp_rsf.png",
"rsf_wpackage_mis":"graphics/icons/cargo/bp_rsf.png",
Same thing on these: typo and not set to weapon blueprint graphic.
Code
"isa_wpackage_eb":"graphics/icons/cargo/bp_isa.png",
"xle_wpackage_eb":"graphics/icons/cargo/bp_xle.png",
"uin_wpackage_eb":"graphics/icons/cargo/bp_uin.png",
In special_items.csv the RSF energy weapons blueprint tag (plugin params column) has incorrect capitalization, so the blueprint package doesn't give any of the weapons.
Code
RSF_en_wbp
Should be
Code
rsf_en_wbp
You're making good progress, keep it up!  :)

Thanks for brining those to my attention. Will fix it later today.

But I have to ask - balance wise, do you feel the weapons are OP? I feel like they need more flux cost.

could you make a more detailed explanation of how to add steelclad that works with nexerelin? thanks!
just so you know ive tried and figured out that (im guessing) the one that has nex at the end in the folder is the one that is for nexerelin

edit- it says im missing underground city 1.jpg but i found that in graphics so i dont know what the issue is

edit 2- i turned off all other mods and now it says that it cant find asteroids.jpg

Try re-downaloding.

Also check the folder structure, if you extracted properly.

The Nex file is default, so you don't need to override anything. NoNex is for overriding.

Been trying to do a ISA only ship run, and while I`ve been able to get a good amount of support vessels(i.e carriers, missile boats, etc) that preform well(though the Connecticut is kinda underwhelming in the firepower department), for mainline ships I havent found any that can compare to Sector vessels(atleast in frigates and destroyers, sofar), for ex. testing against a BRDY Scorpion destroyer, I havent been able to defeat it in the sims using a 'line' vessel(despite carrier and missile ships managing it, as well as other Sector vessels), mainly due to the fact ISA ships are made out of paper(i.e California has 100 armor and 1.2k Hull, died to 2 harpoons from full hp), and they have lacking shield arcs(usually 90, which leads, combined with paper thin hulls, to death in under 10 seconds to a single flanking ship). I think you need to buff the resilience of the ISA Ships.(and likely the FTG, XLU, etc, in addition to buffing burn speeds(i.e a XLU crusier shouldn`t go 1 burn slower than an Onslaught)

EDIT: Also, unsure if its a bug or not, but none of the Steelclad ships seem to have preset variants in the refit screen, unlike Sector ships.

EDIT #2: Also, Steelclad may be stopping other mods from displaying missions as no other mod(despite me having multiple mods that add missions such as the Kadur Theocracy and the SCY) displays missions in the mission screen(and Steelclad seems to affect the menu screen alot, with Steelclad music in the background and only Steelclad vessels flying the the background aswell, it might be a holdover from when you ported the mod over to 9.1)

Post by: TrashMan on October 11, 2019, 12:30:28 AM
That's some good balance feedback. Thanks, I really lack good feedback as there are so many ships that are nigh impossible for me to test in my limited time.
If you are comparing frigates vs destroyers then it's an uneven matchup from the start, but some frigates could use some armor boosting. Try something like the Indiana destroyer, it tended to perfoam well in my tests.

I actually have no idea how presets work or where tehy are defined. Will have to look into that.

Regarding the intro screen, I don't know what I can do about it. While most files get appended, some, like the one with the intro ships, seems to get overwritten. So while vanilla ships could be added to the list (it is a simple txt file after all), there's no way for me to accomodate all mods.
I think the same applies to missions.
However, there is a fix - you simply make your own mission/introships file (or edit the steelclad one) and add the mission names/ship variants from the other mods in there

This will 100% work as I tested it.

Updated.

- Buffed most frigates in terms of hull/armor.
- all sub-90° shield arcs buffed to 90
- Increased burn on some ships.
- Made some fighter/bomber wings more costly.
- a few minor tweaks to some weapon values.

Post by: az879 on October 12, 2019, 04:52:28 AM
I am glad this mod is getting updates. I have some balance suggestions:

The RSF 408mm Shrapnel cannon feels too powerful. The projectiles also causes some lag for me.
I suggest to reduce the amount of shrapnel projectiles to 15-20 and perhaps to increase the damage of the shrapnel if it it too weak.

The RSF leningrad battleship lacks the 'Ammofeeder' hullmod which is found on other RFS ships.

The RSF Moscow battleship does not have a shield. I am unsure if it is balanced. I would suggest to add a shield just like the leningrad or add the 'rsfarmorrepair' hullmod.

Post by: saqib126 on October 12, 2019, 08:04:03 AM
Good to see your heading feedback, gonna go test the frigates soon(i.e last time(before the armor buff) I tried using the California class it got massacred(didnt have a realistic chance of winning) against a basegame 'elite' lasher(4 deployment points vs 4 deployment points), hopefully it can win this time). As for comparing destroyers to frigates, I didnt mean to indicate that, the 'line' ship I was using to try and defeat a BRDY Scorpion in a 1v1 was a 'Indiana-A"(large energy destroyer), though I have managed to get the Indiana to win with a safety override plasma cannon build(still tends to die half the time lol).

EDIT: Why is the ISA neutral to AI remanants?

- 408 shrapnel cannon: reduce number of shrapnel, increased damage. Should improve performance. The stock values were (radnom*50+100) shrapnel pieces!
- I have nerfed some weapons into oblivion by mistake (the plasma beam cannon was doing only 50 damage!) so hopefully I fixed everything now

Hmmm....
You did download the sounds file right? And checked if everything is properly extracted?
It seems like your folder structure might be off.

Check the structure of other mods, Steelclads should be the same.
mods/Steelclad and inside:
data
graphics
sounds

And check each of the three to see if the files are in there. I often see poeple with issues extracting and they get something like "mods/steelclad/sounds/sounds" instead.

Do you have the library mods installed?

CrazyLib, MagicLib?
IIRC, you will need those


Can you put the links to the mods that steelclad needs to run, like: CrazyLib, MagicLib and the others ???

KKKKKKKKK. Today as I am doing some updates on the mods is 51, because I test each one individually so I can play quiet. But already with maybe more, I saw some that I want to test, and I'm waiting for the updates of: Knights Templar, The Nomads, Red, Thule Legacy, Tore Up Plenty, The Vass and ApproLight this last one that urges me today to fix the Chinese version link because I really want to play with it.

I could very well have installed it incorrectly. But I'll try to re-install it without the extra music, and if that fails without music period.

Edit: And ah yes, the custom flags folder goes into the graphics folder yes? Nevermind, found it in the faction folder in the graphics folder.

Edit2: Got it to work. Had to re-install it. LoL. All I had to do was whine about it after I tried to fix it a few times then BAM, fixed after 1 try.

Again the Oren Theme. Older download or corrupted file. Not sure which.
Could it be that it's from the ExtraMusic and that I left it references in the basic sounds.json? I will have to check, but it shouldn't be the case. Oren Theme should be part of the base music...

Just a note, it's totally fine to use DME's scripts, but if you're going to, please change the sound IDs so there isn't a resource ID conflict.

After your behavior in the Vayra's Sector thread I would like to revoke your permission to use DME's scripts in your mod. Please remove all of the code and any other resources you have copied from Dassault-Mikoyan Engineering from Steelclad.

Yeah, sure, whatever. I wasn't using the Drama Queens bladebreakers spawn code anyway (turned out to not be what I needed, so it just sits there unused). Not sure if there's anything else. I think there might be one OnHit effect. Will have to check.
Don't know when the next update is going to be tough, since I'm dealing with a lot of RL stuff atm, including job switching and moving.

Ah, modder drama over absolutely nothing. Sure feels like the doom community in here.
Also, I've noticed several typos and inconsistencies in the mod's descriptions for various things, like the PNS not always being called PNS, and rogue apostrophes. Hope it'll get fixed come next update.

That's because it was called VNS before. And re-balancing necessiated changes to some ship, which means their descriptions need updating too. I need to go over the entire descriptions file when I find time.

v1.0.25

PNS battlestation fixes, now has 3 tiers, each with 3 variants.

Hi, there is no way to upgrade to tier 3 battlestation, with the current mod.

Huh.. Alas, didn't have time to test it, might be a made a typo somewhere in the industries file. You can upgrade to tier 2, right?

Nah, its all just some friendly banter.
On the other its only half the 'immersion' when Changelogs don't contain 'honorable' mentions of Community members OP disagrees with.

I'm pretty sure English is not your first language, but you're aware that "yeah, sure, whatever" is considered rude and dismissive, right? Name-calling someone that was at some point in the past kind enough to let you use their code is also not a great look. Please try to be more polite going forward.

In any case: fair enough about RL; I'll check back here by the end of November. Beyond that, it's basically up to Soren how long he's willing to give you. My point is that the wishes of modders with regard to how their work is re-used (or not reused) will be enforced here.

That said, to everyone else: please let's not derail this thread by discussing this further.

If anyone can confirm the station upgrade problem. Like I said, I wasn't able to test it and there was no tutorial or even a mod example of how it works, so I was bumbling my way trough.

You may already know this and apologies if you do, but just in case because it took me forever to figure out all the details:

Making a station upgrade to the next tier is handled in the industries.csv file under "data\campaign". Look at the "upgrade" column. The value there must be the industry id (not the station id) of the station you are upgrading to. Its the same thing with the "downgrade" column just before it. Put the id of the industry that defines your downgrade option there.

Turbolaser?
You mean X-Ray laser batteries (they are pretty effective) or do you mean the one mega-beam?

Yeah, I knew. And I see I did specify the downgrade options for all bases, but forgot to fill in the upgrade column for Tier 2. Easily fixable.

1.025c uploaded.

Should fix the battlestation Tier 3 upgrade
Since I didn't have time to test it properly, I'm leaving older versions available for a while.
Also some optimizations and changes to some weapon scripts.

Thanks for the update, much appreciated.
Regarding autofit presets, would you mind adding them at some point in the future?
I looked at the .variant files and it pretty much requires one extra line of code:

"goalVariant": true,

Some ships have more than four variants and autofit presets only support four presets (as far as I can tell), so you would have to make some choices.
This is just a small QoL patch and I suppose there are bigger priorities, but it would be nice if you could add this.
Thanks, I really appreciate this mod and the factions in this mods always play important roles in my playthroughs.

I gave you until today (Dec 1) to remove DME scripts from your mod. You have not done so.

The scripts "OnHit_APOC.java", "OnHit_EXPL.java", "OnHit_FRAG.java", "ShieldPieceExpl_OnHit.java", "ShieldPieceFrag_OnHit.java", and "VariableHit.java" are all simple renamed versions of DME scripts. I asked you to remove them and gave you just under a month to do so. This isn't hard; all you had to do was comment them out of the projectile files that referenced them and delete the scripts. This can be done in an evening. Similar scripts are easy to write, or even to borrow out of a different mod with permission. You put out an update on the 17th, ten days after I PMed you that request, so I know you've had at least some modding time.

You're also using badly-recolored or edited versions of my sprites ("HPPC_shell.png", "vns_sm_emiya_turret_base.png" "vns_med_emiya_turret_base.png" and "vns_X_launcher_hardpoint_base.png"). That's just what I've found so far; I'll keep editing this as I find more, and I'm sure I'll find more. You've never had permission for that, unlike the scripts. Those have to go as well.

I am going to note also that there is a truly stupendous amount of commercial, pirated content in this mod - really stunning. I think everything that isn't Okim's original mod is taken from some piece of commercial work you couldn't possibly have the rights to - it's a DMCA waiting to happen. That's beyond the scope of my interest, though.

@TrashMan:

Per what I said earlier re: taking the use of the work of other modders without their permission seriously, I'm locking this thread. Please send me a PM when you're ready to put out a new update that does not include Soren's work.

I am going to note also that there is a truly stupendous amount of commercial, pirated content in this mod - really stunning. I think everything that isn't Okim's original mod is taken from some piece of commercial work you couldn't possibly have the rights to - it's a DMCA waiting to happen. That's beyond the scope of my interest, though.

If this is correct, then I would also advise you to take the opportunity to remove all such content from your mod. If I - or any of the moderators - end up having to dig through it looking for such content (such as, say, due to receiving a valid DMCA claim from one of the parties that own the content), the consequences will inevitably be the deletion of this thread and a ban.

(Edit: briefly unlocked thread to let Soren update the list of stuff used without permission.)

Edit #2: I'd like to make it very clear that this is not going to be an iterative process with second chances. Both finding the content in question and confirming that it was removed is time-consuming, and the burden of that falls on either the content author or the moderators. That's not fair to ask of people that didn't do anything wrong here. So, please make sure you get it right the first time around.

Edit #3: Another of Soren's assets:
Quote from: Soren
"vns_reaper_turret_base.png" - it's a bash, but it's using my artwork.

Edit #4: removed download link from the OP.
