The way you're doing it, you'll want to have your class be declared like this:

public class Calcari implements SectorGeneratorPlugin

That solved it, thank you!

And what'd you know, the other modded system I had a look at for reference also had that, and I simply missed it...

Hello! I've been having some trouble with adding a campaign system to my mod and saw this post about getting them to work without compiling anything with using vanilla systems as a base. I copied the Yma system as a starting point and took a look at the Periphery mod as Great Wound suggested to the original poster of that thread, with a data/world/generators.csv and all, but whenever I try to generate a sector, the game crashes and I get this popup.

I had a quick look and compared the modded system to mine and added "import com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.SectorGeneratorPlugin;" in the same place, assuming that said plugin not being imported was the problem, but apparently I get the issue regardless of whether or not it's there? Sorry if this is a kinda obvious issue, I'm admittedly not very knowledgeable about programming.

Hello! Can you do it without including random core worlds?

I think that would need javascript stuff and I'm not really sure how to do that yet sadly, sorry! Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out soon though...

Modding / Re: Misc modding questions that are too minor to warrant their own thread

« on: April 25, 2023, 03:58:48 PM »

you'll need at least an entry in default_ship_roles.json as well (look at vanilla for an example), without them the game doesn't know when to spawn the ship so it simply won't.

Thanks, that worked!

Some mods I looked at for reference had different groups in there (patrol sizes?), gonna have to look into those more!
Initially I just put the hull on the list instead of a variant and was wondering why the game kept crashing :p

Hey, I'm sure this has been asked before (though I had a quick look and couldn't find it), but how do I make a ship available to use in NPC fleets?

I just got started on trying to make a ship pack mod cause I decided to try kitbashing and found it quite fun, but the first ship I made refuses to appear in my faction's fleets even though I had it prioritized. It doesn't work even if it's the only non-default blueprint I got and it doesn't work if I use console commands to learn all blueprints to ensure that all weapons its variants use can be produced by my faction. I used the ship editor and made sure all variants have goalVariant set to true but the ship still refused to appear in the 'typical heavy patrol' window, no matter how often I pressed 'regenerate'.

I tried setting the rarity in the csv to 1, leaving it blank or setting it to a different number as well.

I love unique/special ships! I'm glad unique bounties, derelicts and bosses are common in mods because they're the main thing to interest me mid-late game.

General Discussion / Re: Favorites

« on: January 03, 2023, 06:32:38 AM »

That's a hard choice! Perhaps Xhan Empire becuase it has a good amount of ships with a really nice and unique aesthetic that stands out but in a way that still fits the game's artstyle, I guess. Like it looks very distinct but the shading and vibes still make it blend in properly instead of being too glossy and anime-y, I guess.

My favourite individual ship is probably The Infernal Machine from Underworld, especially with the cannon upgrade. It is slow, has a massive amount of burst damage and can be really tanky. It is a perfect match for me as a manually piloted ship. The Infernus is ok but it's just a weaker Infernal Machine and doesnt have quite the same devastating opening barrage.

Dwarf Fortress was already quite well-known before its Steam release.

I don't really get why people can't just accept that Starsector will be on Steam when Alex feels it's ready. He's made the decision that he feels this is the best way, and I don't think any amount of nudging and *hint hint*s will change that. Nor should they.

WAs reading reddit, when someone posted something to the effect of "There is no good games made in java". Starsector was the 3rd top voted example just below runescape.

Wasn't minecraft also made in java? Anyone making such a claim doesn't know what games were made in java, I guess. Which means they don't know what they're talking about.

Gonna miss the Decimator, I have no idea how the Vanguard was supposed to replace it but oh well. Perhaps it could be readded alongside the Finch at a later date if more ships get removed, like with prv?
