Bug Reports & Support (modded) / OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

« on: July 05, 2022, 07:15:26 PM »

I am putting this here to help anyone getting this error "[Thread-3] ERROR com.fs.starfarer.combat.CombatMain  - java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space"
If you run too many mods, odds are you have the same mod with memory leak as me which i couldn't single-out, It will cause you to crash every ~15-20 mins consistently.
1- Open your game folder
2- Right click on VMparams and select "edit with notepad" or any other text editor
3- Add the following line after "java.exe": "-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled" make sure there is 1 and only 1 space before and after the added text.
This will force the engine to clear classes that are "no longer in use" and limit the size allocated to them preventing PemGen from leaking into memory space allocated for the game.

Modding / Adding a station to the game

« on: June 11, 2022, 02:53:43 PM »

So i want to add a new type of station to the game, one that is generated with the sector and spread across the map, such station is identical to any regular research/mining base but drops different loot, can someone give me simplified steps on how to do it ?

General Discussion / My opinion about the The character passive tree

« on: December 27, 2021, 10:22:51 AM »

Originally, after hearing that 0.95 changed the character tree i was excited, however my excitement was gone when i realized that the Tree is now less impactful, and the things i didn't like about it stayed.
1-I hate that you have to take some irrelevant skills to get what you want, it doesn't make sense that i have to take some "frigate" skills to unlock "officer" ones, i highly recommend adopting a new character skill-tree philosophy, one that has more selections and each selection path is always centered around 1 specialization, (example: you can start with weapon damage skills and these will only focus on weapons and their damage until the end of their specialization sub-tree) i also prefer a wide selection of in-depth options (some with big downsides) as they can provoke thinking.
2-The bonuses from some elite upgrades are just a waste of story points, 1% ECM bonus for an elite upgrade on a capital ship with Gunnery Implants? just why...
3-Some skills are completely broken one some ships and useless on others (example: Ranged specialization on Paragons), i don't believe that having upgrades that allows few ships to break the balance of game and be useless on others is a good thing as it pushes you to focus on that 1 broken combination until you steam-roll the game.
4-The new tree is Less impactful overall, some skills punishes you for having bigger fleet (why?) isn't the whole point of progressing a camping run is to have a bigger and stronger fleet ? why should i feel punished for it ? i feel sad for the flux skill which is just a shadow of it's former self.
My advice:
I think the game needs a Bigger skill tree, one with less bonuses per skill and distributed across many selections, the tree should contain many sub trees where each one specializes in a specific thing and only that thing, and you can start progressing with each one at the very start of your camping, higher captain level (at least ~60) and game changing super skills that can be allocated at the very end of every sub-tree which improves something and weaken something else (example: increased damage at close range but reduces it at long range).
Note, i still didn't do a gameplay run for 0.95.1a and i know that some skills got changed/replaced, however i know that most of my concerns are still in the tree so i decided to write this post.

General Discussion / A missing Faction feature

« on: December 11, 2021, 02:41:55 PM »

I don't know why, but there isn't an option to give factions a specific combat theme that loops while you fight them, it should be optional as if not passed by the author the game will just loop through different available combat-tracks, this feature can provide a unique atmosphere when you fight some Secret factions introduced by the main game or different mods.

Modding / [0.95a] small API issue

« on: August 14, 2021, 06:10:18 AM »

I noticed that if you try to retrieve "ProjectileSpecAPI" from an Instance of "WeaponSpecAPI" via ".getProjectileSpec() function" you get an instance of "com.fs.starfarer.loading.specs.h" instead of "com.fs.starfarer.api.loading.ProjectileSpecAPI", even if you try to cast it via (ProjectileSpecAPI) the game just crashes, from how the functions are worded this has to be an unintended behavior.
