Modding / Help with Fatal: MISSILE weapons must fire missiles

« on: January 04, 2024, 07:30:59 PM »

General Discussion / My shipyard stopped building ships

« on: October 16, 2023, 06:59:09 PM »

For some reason my shipyards have stopped building ships. I've had a small order in for months and it never finishes. The shipyards are not disrupted and I've cleared the queue and resubmitted it many times. Has anyone ever had this happen and/or know why it happens?

General Discussion / Why is the sell price one credit?

« on: September 30, 2023, 07:46:00 AM »

According to the F1 information at the port, this commodity is supposed to sell for 358 but it is only selling for 1. Why is that?


{edit] It seems that if I click on the planet it is 1 credit but if I click on the orbital station it is the correct price. I never realized there was a difference.

General Discussion / Does combat readiness decrease for enemy ships too or just player ships?

« on: July 29, 2023, 05:57:57 PM »

I'm staging a series of computer vs computer fights for testing and I've never noticed the enemy ships start having malfunctions. I even made a player ship with 10 minutes of combat readiness and it ran out while the enemy ships continued to be fine. Does combat readiness decrease only affect player ships?

General Discussion / Weird, I was just asked to enter my StarSector key when startign the game

« on: April 25, 2023, 01:16:24 PM »

I've owned the game since near the beginning and I've been launching it every day for the past few months. Why would it ask for the key now? I had a Java update but that's the only thing in common with StarSector that I can think of. Luckily, I had the key.

Modding / Help wityh phasor effect please

« on: February 18, 2023, 07:49:40 PM »

Hello all. I've made a phasor effect that when applied to a limited duration beam like the phase lance or similar weapons causes the beam to 'move' from the point of aim off to the left or right up to 10 degrees. So it strafes over the target (and some of it probably misses).
It works by changing the weapon offset when it fires so the beam moves from initial position to the new offset. After it fires I reset the offset so it's ready to fire again.
The problem occurs if the battle ends before the weapons finishes firing (including the cooldown time).  Then the default aim position is offset by whatever it was last time it fired. So, the beam will always miss. My code is below. It was originally based on another mod where they had the beam sweep back and forth, but that's not exactly what I want in mine.
If anyone can see how to make sure the offsets are always reset, regardless of when the battle ends I would appreciate it. Of course if I'm totally doing this the hard way and there is an easier way that would be great too.

Note : ANGLES is an arraylist in the code but it has only one item. It was leftover from the original SCY code that had more than one intem.

Bug Reports & Support (modded) / Suddenly all of my fights are retreats

So this is strange. Suddenly every fight I accept, my ships are being pursued like I elected to run away. Even when I elect to pursue a fleet that is reluctant to fight I'm the one that is set as teh running away fleet. Has anyone else encountered this? Very confusing.

Modding / Adding inaccuracy to a beam?

« on: December 29, 2022, 03:54:50 PM »

I'd like a beam that 'rakes' across an area of space where it's aimed at instead of hitting with perfect accuracy. I tried editing the min.max spread in the csv but that's only for projectiles.

My thought now is to get the angle of the beam relative to the firing ship and move it +/- some amount every second. However, it seems all methods in BeamAPI are getters and not setters so I'm not sure how I would, programmatically, move the beams target point.
Any suggestions?

Modding / Please help with new weapon using AdvanceableListener nd BeamEffectPlugin

« on: December 24, 2022, 02:03:52 PM »

I'm trying to make a weapon that abosrbs flux over time and then , when it fires, does bonus damage equal to the flux it has absorbed.
My code is below. I have a class implementing BeamEffectPlugin and a listener class. The listener is adding teh flux to the battery but when I fire the weapon the check for this.ML.fluxBattery > 0  always fails. It knows what the listener is because if I print some other value like FLUX_PER_SECOND_CHARGE_RATE  from this.ML, it knows what that is.
I hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong here.

Modding / Is it possible to modify which proj a weapon fires during combat

« on: December 11, 2022, 06:11:46 AM »

I want to make a weapon that has two modes, call them slug and shotgun. All the differences between them are in the proj class that the weapon fires. Is it possible to bind a hotkey that changes what proj a weapon fires and be able to call it during combat?
I see in the WeaponSpecAPI there is a GetProjectileSpec() but I don't see any setter method.

Modding / How to create a hullmod that provides benefit based on hull size

« on: December 08, 2022, 03:44:44 PM »

I want to create a hull mode that reduces the fuel used by small ships. I assume I do that in applyEffectsAfterShipCreation() like many examples I've seen. However, I need a reference to the shipAPI for the ship the mod is going on, right? How do I get that?
Once I have it I think I can use ship.getMutableStats().getFuelUseMod().modifyFlat(id, -1f); to do what I want.

Thanks in advance for any help.
