Mods / Re: [0.95.1a] Supply Forging 1.5

There's one here that does that. Although it may be a little OP.

Mods / Re: [0.95.1a] Gundam UC Mod v0.3.0 0080 Expansion update!

Don't sweat it. Hope it's not too serious.

With the information that it's the overcloak system, I've changed it to maneuverjets and haven't gotten the error again.

I was playing a simulation piloting the Alex and fighting against the Pegasus. An Illegal Argument Exception took place. I think one of the enemy gundam fighter squadrons, either the guntanks or the guntank with legs activated its ship system and it ran into overload (or maybe past it? I've never heard the warning sound that fast before).

Error log is as follows:

General Discussion / Re: Best low fuel bounty hunting fleet

« on: November 06, 2021, 03:59:51 PM »

One other thing you can do if you want to do 2-3 bounties per run is to increase the max number of available bounties the game can have at one time. I usually increase it to 20, sometimes 30+ if I don't feel like traveling back from the fringes. Bounties have a habit of clustering with one another in star clusters. Making less travel, but also heightening the danger sometimes.

The file you need to change to up the number of bounties is in <Starsector install folder>\starsector-core\data\config\settings.json
In settings.json find the line that says

   "maxPersonBounties":5,

That '5' at the end is the one that you need to change.

------------------------------

Alternatively, you can get the skill that increases the amount of fuel you salvage and add another tanker.

On the topic of your fleet composition, I never really found that much use for the onslaught. Most of my damage comes from cruisers and destroyers. Monitors can plug the hole of line holders.

General Discussion / Re: The best fighters against stations

« on: September 09, 2021, 07:30:29 PM »

I don't bring fighters I use for fleet combat for station killing. It's just a big waste of supplies and crew for little gain. With ships you can tell them to form up on your flag ship and kinda control which side of the station they're shooting at. Fighters and bombers just dive right in and get slaughtered. That station range bonus just cuts down so much.

But in mods that have fighter frigates though, I fin that those do better.

Wasn't the last tournament won by someone going mass beams? A complete clean sweep winning all 9 fights + the fact that the fleet was fighting modded factions as well.

Is the twitch vids lagging for anyone else? It's just constant stop and go when the video is playing.

A quick way of finding out the most relevant specs is to hit the [windows key + r] and the type in

dxdiag

If it is your first time typing it in it will take a little bit to configure itself, but the information like memory, processor, OS (and in one case pagefile) should be there.

General Discussion / Re: Is there a mod that modifies the officer's maximum level?

« on: March 21, 2020, 11:12:46 PM »

To clarify, raising it above 29 won't cause the game to crash, but the officers will still level up after the skills bar is full, and you will never spend those upgrade points.

Go windowed mode instead of full screen if you can.

The lower the resolution the more FPS you can get.

Turning off sound gives a tangible amount of frames.

In previous versions upping the memory available for the java program was a possibility, although I think this is helps more for loads of mod/memory usage instead of faster performance.

The falcon P basically dominated the 7th fleet building tournament. 4 medium missile slots on a very fast chassis is nothing to sneeze at.

General Discussion / Re: Is there a way to turn off weapon maximum distances?

« on: October 27, 2019, 11:39:05 AM »

I don't think it is possible to turn of weapon ranges entirely, but it is very easy to give every weapon in the game more range than the map size. You may have to contend with a bit more lag since the firing calculations for every ship would be up the wazoo, and ship behaviour may be erratic as well.

Nevertheless, the change is quick and easy.

Here it is:

The vanilla weapon data is held in a single file; weapons.csv.

A csv file is a comma seperated file that can be opened with (recommended) spreadsheet software, or even (not recommended) a simple text editor.

I am on mobile but the file ahould be found in starsector/starsector core/data/weapons/weapons.csv.

Make a copy of this file before working with it.

In this file there will be a column named range. Simply add a few zeroes to the end of the numbers in that column to give weapons a practically infinite range.

Do keep in mind for projectile weapons, the speed of the projectile is seperate. Meaning that (nearly) instantaneous weapons like beams will be dominant if you make this change. And ballistic or projectile weapons will take a back seat if you don't change the projectile speed (also found in the same file near the far right side).

Keep in mind that you may also have to change the projectile life time for missiles if you don't want them running out of fuel halfway. The range for missiles only determines how far the ai will shoot it from. Not whether it would reach the targeted ship.

Edit: Mobile spelling.

+ backup addition.

Edit 2:

On second thought, maybe haphazardly increasing the range on weapons isn't a good idea. The game has to keep track of projectiles, and if projectiles last forever off screen, the memory overhead is going to be immense. I'd recommender maybe increasing ranges to the 8000-1000 range instead of any magnitutdes bigger than that. It won't reach from end to end of the map. But it will reach up to the middle.

Anyways. Give these values a test and increase if you want.

If you have the piloting chops, you could always go with the fabian approach. Deploy your own super loadout ship with whatever chaff you need to keep the opposing fleet from swarming you, and just take out several ships before retreating and doing it again, until the opposing fleet is weak enough for your own fleet to fully deploy and smash them.

Modding / Re: How to change sector gen configs?

« on: August 30, 2019, 11:44:34 PM »

So after adjusting the min and max orbits only in those files the game CTD with a Json error.  Nother other changes were made but it loads up fine with the orginal file put back in place or the original values.  Any idea why this would be the case?  Are you doing this with only the base game and no other mods like Nex?  Apologies for the chain of questions, I'm loving the added difficulty of Nex plus lots of other factions over vanilla but I would love to increase the number of planets and colonization options for the factions significantly for even more challenge.

Hey sorry about missing the update to the thread.

I am doing this with a bunch of mods loaded in. Almost all of them. Too many to count.

Off the top of my head, one thing that could be happening is that the UTF settings are changed. Or in simpler terms, the format has changed. When openoffice opens an csv file, it will ask in what encoding it should open it up with. And it will do so with the selection box highlighted. A slight mouse wheel roll will change it, and while it shows everything in place, the application cannot read it, probably due to some header information it is expecting but not seeing.

Some things to clarify the situation: Have you tried just changing on value and seeing if it crashes? Or are you using the crashing file and swapping it with the original only?

Some other things that might be happening: Because it is a CSV file (comma-separated-file) the spreadsheet program you are using might be asking you (or not asking you) whether you want to save it as an excel file. This is obviously a big no-no. Changing file formats that applications read rarely ends well.

Another thing you can try is to open it up in a plain text file (like notepad) and compare your modified csv file to the original one to see if there are any notable changes.

Hope this helps. If all else fails, I could send you the csv file with the changes you need and see if that works.
