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

Ok, got it! Thanks

This is a really dumb question, but how can I add a mod to the forum?) The Mods seems to be locked for adding a new topic.

@Alex

@celestis: Hmm, this is weird. The ship system related error went away when you set "totalConversion":true? Looking at the code, that seems... unlikely. Did update the mod_info documentation, btw.

Yep, I'm surprised too. But looking through the callstack was of no help. I only added "totalConversion" and that's all. Thanks for updating docs!

Alright, found the reason myself.

Code

	"totalConversion":"true",

The documentation says that

totalConversion  - If set to "true", then no other mods can be loaded alongside it.

But it seems to be a bit more, since it helped. I guess it prevented something from vanilla jar to be loaded, though I'm not sure.
It would be great if the corresponding description is updated.

Another question:
I try to make a total conversion mod by overriding several files in mod info.
Here's what I have:

Code

	"replace":[
		"data/campaign/sim_opponents.csv",
		"data/config/title_screen_variants.csv",
		#"data/shipsystems/ship_systems.csv",
		"data/missions/mission_list.csv",
		"data/hulls/ship_data.csv",
		"data/hulls/wing_data.csv",
		"data/weapons/weapon_data.csv",
		"data/world/factions/factions.csv",
	],

If ship_systems is commented as above, I get an error:

Where the hell is that onslaught? It is not mentioned in any of my files.
Well, I tried to override the systems file too. Even more mysterious:

Of course, my file is not empty, so it should contain systems)
All works if I do not override files, but I really need a total conversion. Any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks a lot! I guessed something like that) But what will happen if "minimum" fleet exceeds the maxFleetPoints limit?

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

In faction JSON files fleets are composed of records with 2 numbers:

Code

	"fleetCompositions":{
		"scout":{
			"displayName":"Scout",
			"maxFleetPoints":11,
			"daysWorthOfSupplies":[30, 50],
			"lyWorthOfFuel":[40, 60],
			"extraCrewPercent":[80, 80],
			"marinesPercent":[20, 20],
			"ships":{
				"tempest_Attack":[1, 1],
				"wasp_wing":[1, 1],
			},
		},

So, I wonder, what does each number stand for?

Code

"tempest_Attack":[1, 1],

Bug Reports & Support / Re: Beam-armed ship always held in reserve

« on: May 13, 2014, 10:17:18 AM »

Yes, you were right - this was because the weapons were less than 30% ship OPs. I just never saw this rule. Anyway, I suppose for missions this mechanism should be disabled, since nobody will add a ship to a mission in order for it to stay in reserve. Thanks!

Modding / Is there any way to make beams generate hard flux?

« on: May 13, 2014, 02:26:53 AM »

Hello!
This is quite a duplicate of http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=3345.0, but I was warned about necro-posting, so decided to create another thread.
The question is: is it possible to make some beam weapons generate hard flux on target ship? I don't mean changing vanilla game, but just a possibility for modding.

In the referenced thread, Alex said:

I'll see about adding the ability to do hard flux damage to beam weapons via mods.

But it was in 2012 So I just wanted to raise the question again.
Thanks

Bug Reports & Support / Beam-armed ship always held in reserve

« on: May 12, 2014, 09:23:34 PM »

If an enemy ship has only beam weapons installed, it is always held in reserve in missions. Adding a single non-beam weapon makes it behave correctly.
Possible workaround described here: http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=7975.0

Modding / Re: Beam-armed ship always in reserve

« on: May 12, 2014, 11:53:58 AM »

If anyone is looking for other workaround, I found possibly easier way:
a HIDDEN mount SYSTEM slot can be added to the hull with some non-beam weapon assigned to it in variant. Since it is SYSTEM, the weapon is never used, but this somehow releases the ship into combat.

Modding / Beam-armed ship always in reserve

« on: May 12, 2014, 11:10:28 AM »

Hello! I'm making a mod and have a custom beam-only armed ship variant. The problem is that in the mission with this ship on enemy side it is always held in reserve. No matter if they are 10 vs one player vessel, they just don't appear.
If I change the single slot into something 'projectile', everything becomes okay and it is used properly.
What's the reason, am I doing something wrong? Or maybe it's a known issue?
Thank you
