Modding / Re: [0.97a] Darksynth Battle Music 1.0.1
« on: March 08, 2024, 12:31:28 PM »
Is it possible to make the first track played repeat for the whole battle rather than another random track being played after it ends?
not with this mod. it might be possible with some java wizardry, but i don't know how to do that.

Hi, is this safe to enable in 0.97 by just changing the version number ?
yes (i use it)
I have a question about B version.
If we are friend with [REDACTED].
Can we colonizes the planet or need to destroy all the of them first?
you can colonize the planets regardless of [REDACTED] presence.
even if they are hostile to you, you can still colonize if none of their fleets see you when you approach a planet.
they do not do orbital bombardments or interfere with your (newborn) colonies in any way (save for the "remnant nexus in system" colony crisis and for occasionally obliterating your orbital stations/patrol fleets if you are hostile to them). if you also have Nexerelin, you can go to Prism Freeport and talk to [REDACTED]. you can do missions for her or sell her AI cores to build reputation with [REDACTED] (you can farm fleets around Calvera for AI cores), and once you get to friendly rank with [REDACTED], they will stop killing your colony patrols & stations and will instead defend your colonies for you (they are hostile to every other faction and will attack any other-faction-fleets that enter the system such as tri-tach expeditions or hegemony inspections). you can also fight alongside them like you can with any other friendly faction.

Modding / [0.97a] Bigger Enemy Fleets 1.0
« on: February 03, 2024, 04:35:30 PM »
Features:
This mod increases the amount of ships in faction fleets, makes them have less D-mods and gives them way more officers.

Why?
Because factions should realistically be able to field vastly bigger fleets than they do in vanilla. Also, those fleets become way too easy to kill once you get 2-3 good cruisers/capitals or some wolfpack cheese, especially in a giga-modded game.

Requirements:
None

Installation:
- Extract the archive into your Starsector\mods folder
- Open the game launcher and enable the mod in the Mods section

Notes:
- The mod only changes some values in settings.json, so it should be version-agnostic and compatible with other mods.

Mods / Re: [0.96a] Missile Ship Overhaul 1.2.6
« on: January 27, 2024, 04:21:50 AM »
@TheDeviL234 and by extension @Kylin.S.508 or anyone still having a backup of version 1.0.9

If there would be an opportunity to get a link to version 1.0.9 of MSO, it would be highly appreciated.

Here you go:
MSO 1.09

Alternatively, you can use this version (1.2.6 version without 0.96a content that works with 0.95.1a Starsector):
MSO 1.2.6 (0.95.1a)

Hi, I like this MOD, torpedoes and missiles are truly romantic for space warfare in my opinion, thanks for your creation. Can you allow me to publish it to Chinese forum and translate it? I will keep the author information and the original link.
And, Due to the incomplete translation of the Starsector 0.96 , Can I simultaneously publish ver 1.0.9 to there? I am currently using this version, so you do not need to upload it again.
Although my English proficiency is extremely limited and I have to use mechanical translation, I will do my best to polish and correct when translating into Chinese.
Sincerely pay respects again. ;)
yes. btw, instead of using 1.0.9, you can use 1.2.6 that i changed here to work with 0.95.1a starsector. (it doesn't have 0.96a ships - Pulsar, Sepulcher, Pillager). haven't done much testing on it, but it should work.

I'd recommend checking out the taken names spreadsheet, as a few of these names are taken by other mods.
can you send me a link to it? i can't find it anywhere.

« on: May 31, 2023, 05:37:47 AM »
Full changelog for update 1.2.4:

- Added Pontiff midline heavy cruiser
- Renamed Vanquisher to Instigator
- Decreased flux dissipation penalty for Dual-Purpose Capacitor Banks from 20% to 10%
- Decreased flux dissipation penalty for Overclocked Targeting Processor from 15% to 10%
- Changed default variant small missile weapon groups from Linked to Alternating fire for all ships with small missile hardpoints
- Increased Zeal flux capacity from 2000 to 2500 and hull from 1500 to 1750 (now it's the same as vanilla 0.96a Vigilance)
- Reduced Achlys ordnance points from 120 to 100
- Reduced Vertex ordnance points from 200 to 180
- Adjusted Achlys and Vertex default variants to fit new OP values (both ships have 1 less hullmod)
- Reduced Carnage deployment points from 42 to 40




This version is not save-game compatible if you are updating from 1.2.3 or earlier,
unless you replace every mention of Instigator back to Vanquisher in
-MSO\data\hulls\mod_ship_instigator.ship
-MSO\data\hulls\ship_data.csv
-MSO\data\strings\descriptions.csv
-MSO\data\variants\mod_instigator_variant.variant
-MSO\data\world\factions\default_ship_roles.json
(it takes 3-5 minutes to do if you really want to update and keep your current saves)

Cool mod  ;D

fyi, Diktat Enhancement already uses Vanquisher for one of it's ships, and I think another mod might do as well. If that's of any concern.
thanks for the info, i'll rename it in the next update.
coming up with interesting names that haven't already been taken is pretty hard lol.

Mods / Re: [0.96a] Bultach Coalition v1.1.2
« on: May 27, 2023, 09:10:49 AM »
Im confused to way this mod gives a fatal: error loading {data/missions/bt_testingrange/descriptor.json} resource, not found in {/home/deck/desktop/starsector/./mods/bultach coalition,/home/deck/desktop/starsector/./mods..............................

It's the only mod active besides Lunalib, Magiclib, Graphicslib, and Lazylib.

 edit: found a fix by deleting the missions folder.

Quite strange, first time I've had this crash reported. Could be potentially fixed by just attempting another download, but deleting the folder also works, if you don't care about the mission.

i'm guessing Gift-of-Life is on linux since i'm getting the same issue. basically the mission folder name is BT_TestingRange while its reference in code is bt_testingrange. since linux is case-sensitive (unlike windows), it crashes the game. simply renaming the folder to lowercase solved the issue.

Modding / Re: Question about modifying player skills
« on: May 26, 2023, 07:26:52 PM »
So I wanted to tweak some values for player skills and went into [starfarer.api.zip\com\fs\starfarer\api\impl\campaign\skills] but changing the values listed in the skill files here (such as: [public static float NUM_OFFICERS_BONUS]) didn't effect anything in game. What am I missing?
Report to moderator    Logged

to clarify, starfarer.api.zip is the uncompiled version (source code) of starfarer.api.jar, and the game only loads the .jar.
if you want to change something in the .jar, the best way to to that is to make a mod like this:

I have a small personal mod that modifies this skills this way

Code
package tweaks;

import com.fs.starfarer.api.BaseModPlugin;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.impl.campaign.skills.*;

public class TweaksMod extends BaseModPlugin {

    @Override
    public void onApplicationLoad() {
        // Modify skills for less immediate impact but same long-term value.
        BulkTransport.CARGO_CAPACITY_THRESHOLD = 4000;
        BulkTransport.FUEL_CAPACITY_THRESHOLD = 4000;
        BulkTransport.PERSONNEL_CAPACITY_THRESHOLD = 10000;
        BulkTransport.CARGO_CAPACITY_MAX_PERCENT = 20;
        BulkTransport.FUEL_CAPACITY_MAX_PERCENT = 20;
        BulkTransport.PERSONNEL_CAPACITY_MAX_PERCENT = 20;
        MakeshiftEquipment.SUPPLY_USE_REDUCTION_MAX_PERCENT = 25;
        ContainmentProcedures.FUEL_USE_REDUCTION_MAX_PERCENT = 25;
        Sensors.SENSOR_BONUS = 100.0F;
        OfficerManagement.NUM_OFFICERS_BONUS = 3.0F;
    }

}

decompiling .class files from the .jar directly, editing them, and recompiling them back is also possible, but it's pretty advanced.


EDIT:
turned starman13's code into a mod.
download it here
and add/change what you want.

is it possible to rotate a sprite less than 90 degrees without losing detail or introducing blur? if not, then how does the game deal with ships turning in any direction?
i'm not a graphics guy and this is giving me a headache.

photoshop rotation algorithms as an example:
