Much of the code and concepts in this mod were moved to CMUtils for various reasons.
-
Oooh subsystems!
So how do they work with ship systems?
Are they completely independent?
-
Please modders, make use of this, and hopefully a lot of use. This sounds too cool to ignore. I'd love to see hullmods that instate specific drone behavior, just as one example.
-

Yep, 100% independent. Transferable across all ships.
-
Are drones affected by any skills?
Can I use this library to make custom wing AI instead of drone AI?
Are subsystems affected by system expertise?
-
Well now, this looks very interesting!
Do you have an idea of how easy/difficult the framework will be to maintain in future Starsector updates? My one hesitation would be to rig a bunch of stuff to use the framework and then an update would render all of it inoperable for an indeterminable amount of time.
Still, this is very cool and I love how its even separate from ship systems so you could conceivably synergize the dual mechanics for a pretty unique ship.
-
This looks REALLY cool! I can't wait to see what other modders are going to do with it!
Speaking of GUI modifications, is there any way to modify the weapon GUI so that it notifies you when all weapons in a given weapon group is able to fire (an OK/READY right beside the weapon group in combat HUD)? Because I have quite some trouble timing cooldowns for weapon with high delays like AM Blaster.

Player skills are not currently taken into account, I will add them once the initial proof of concept is rock steady.
Custom wing AI is currently outside the scope of this library, that would be a whole different can of worms to modularise and there would have to be sufficient motivation to do so, unless somebody else wanted to work on it.

This framework could have existed in a number of previous updates since it is uses combat api functions that have been around for a while, so unless alex decides to revamp the entire combat engine and GUI I don't see future updates breaking it.

STOKED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT: thanks for doing this

Ah nice good to know! Yeah never say never but I feel that its pretty unlikely that this would be reworked at this point.
-
This looks awesome! I've always liked drones, and the ability to have multiple systems on a ship (applying to individual weapon groups even!!) is great.
-
Just wanted to say that this is probably one of best things on this forum.

DroneLib v1.0.1
Download v1.0.1 (https://github.com/automatopaste/DroneLib/releases/download/v1.0.1/DroneLib_1.0.1.zip)
Fixed major problem with mod csv merging. A reminder that subsystem instances applied in combat via applySubsystemToShip(ShipAPI Ship, dl_Subsystem subsystem) will need to have .init(ShipAPI ship) and .aiInit() called externally.
v1.0.1
-fixed CSV merging between mods
-updated method documentation
-
Quick showcase of some shenanigans implementing subsystems with RogueSynth hullmods, which I am working on updating to 0.95a.

DroneLib v1.1.0
Download v1.1.0 (https://github.com/automatopaste/DroneLib/releases/download/v1.1.0/DroneLib_1.1.0.zip)
Important update with refinements and fixes.
v1.1.0
-added centralised subsystem hullmod queuing function to dl_SubsystemUtils
-queueSubsystemFromHullmodForShip(ShipAPI ship, Class<? extends dl_BaseSubsystem> subsystemClass)
-Queues a subsystem for a ShipAPI instance so it will be applied upon entering combat. Allows subsystems to be
cleanly added via hullmod
-fixed subsystem ai scripts running while player control active
-fixed subsystem gui showing with no subsystems installed on player ship
-added useful getter and setter methods to dl_BaseSubsystem
-methods such as setCooldown(float cooldown) apply changes only to the subsystem instance, it does not globally
change the subsystem spec data
-added default hotkey manager, if the 'hotkey' field in the csv is left blank it will use a unique default
-custom hotkeys can be defined for subsystem slots 1-6, 6th slot will be copied with more subsystems
-added static getSubsystemsOnShip(ShipAPI ship) method to dl_SubsystemCombatManager
-added overridable methods in dl_BaseSubsystem to prevent subsystem being used while venting and/or overloaded
-changed a couple of method names for clarity - unfortunately will cause crashes with any mods using old method names
-queueSubsystemFromHullmodForShip -> queueSubsystemForShip
-method does not require a hullmod
-getSystemId -> getSubsystemId
-clear up any confusion with regular shipsystems
-may have missed one or two, but nothing has been removed so the successor name should be obvious
-updated/added javadoc comments to several methods
-
Added a tutorial walkthrough for adding a subsystem imitating Maneuvering Jets to a ship via hullmod to the OP, in the tutorials section.
-
so ummm, if i may ask, if i remember correctly you said something about bringing out a mod which uses drone lib. may i ask when it might come out/how far it is developed, if you already started developing it?
-
so ummm, if i may ask, if i remember correctly you said something about bringing out a mod which uses drone lib. may i ask when it might come out/how far it is developed, if you already started developing it?
I posted clips from a mod called RogueSynth that adds random variants to ships with fun and dumb effects, it used to be a discord-only mod for 0.9.1a but I'm working on a full release.
I also have my faction mod Pearson Exotronics which has been in dev hell for months, lots of feature creep, currently not release ready while I pick over the guts of the thing regarding dronelib integration. A lot of the scripts in DL come from pearson and I have to remove all the conflicts with externalising a lot of things into the library.
Finally there is Neutrino Corp which I fully intend to overhaul, plans and tests have been made for armour mechanics using subsystems, as well as upgraded drone shipsystems, but the mod needs a complete art overhaul which will take a long time to achieve.
-
hmm, i see. so it will probably take a while, and new updates will only make it an even longer wait. if i may ask, when might RogueSynth come out if you are working towards a full release? and also i did not completely get what you meant, did you mean like there are new hullmods which do weird things? so is it like the "incredibly gullible hullmods" mod?

Just here to say I'm stoked for roguesynth cause it sounds like something I've wanted in the sector for.....yea I guess for years now lol
-
mister tomatopaste? sorry for asking but, are you still working on rogue synth?
-
I'm curious, are there any mods out there that make use of DroneLib or are planning/developing a mod to use it?
-
Can anyone provide a mirror? The download link isn't working. I get SSL encryption errors.
-
So I got error here for tomatopaste to look at (dunno if You are on unofficial starsector discord or not so I am writting here)

so what do You think about that?
-
I wonder if this can be used to alter whether a ship is a drone or crewed to begin with? Like, make droned vs crewed versions of the same fighter, with the manned version having better stats to compensate for the crew losses they'd incur.

Hello! I've found a crash with DroneLib on Starsector version 0.95.1a RC6. If there is a drone active in combat and you press Tab to open the strategic view, the game will crash with this error:

Small maitenance update
-updated to 0.95.1a
-fixed crash opening tactical map with drone subsystem and gui active
-added activation sfx id field to dl_BaseSubsystem, plays sound id when activated
-
Right now I am getting this error when playing with mod that utilizes DroneLib but even that mod author couldn't understand why crash happens when destroying ship that uses drones coz on his end everything works fine.

Hey tomatopaste! The example in the OP has a slight error:
if (ship == null || ship.isAlive()) return;
I had this idea the other day, making hullmods that replace systems, but this subsystem thing your library has is awesome, and this example is just on point! I'll start with a few vanilla stuff and see where it goes I guess ;D Thank you for the library.
-
this realy needs more attention! i wish i was better at modding, id love to make this.

Thanks for pointing that out champ :).
Note that this mod is more or less on the shelf until I publish certain top-tier faction mods that are in the works indefinitely. I'll still do bugfix/version updates but only really pay attention if it is used by anyone in the meantime.

Is this license change gonna be an issue for the dronelib code I already have integrated into Apex if I want to make further changes?

no, apex is fine since there wasn't a license when you copied it, just as long as you indicate that my source code now has the linked license applied to it

sure thing, I'll add that in there for the next version. thanks.
