Thank you. That was exactly it! Little tampering with .class files and everything works like a charm.

[Paralityk]

Sorry for double post but it's for another question so I hope it's fine.
Where do I change weapon size? It's not specified in weapon_data.

[Alex]

In the .wpn file under data/weapons.

[jamplier]

Is there any way to make a ui sound (like Global.getSoundPlayer().playUISound()) loop? I'm currently using intervals (IntervalUtil(float,float)), but it's messy as heck.

[Alex]

There's no explicit support for UI loops, but you can get around it by calling the regular playLoop() method and passing in a stereo sound.

As a side note, all stereo sounds play as-is, while mono sounds will be converted into stereo based on their location relative to the listener. So, for example, if one had a stereo sound for say weapon fire or an explosion, that would be bad.

[jamplier]

Ah, that's cool, didn't know that. If I can figure things out, maybe there'll be another mod available out there in a day or two
 Thank you for your help!

Is there a way to change relationship-modifiers?

I feel I shouldn't get a relationship-hit for piracy when my transponder's off, (which would limit me to solo-action 'targets of opportunity'), and I'd rather not have to resort to dev commands every time that happens.

There is, but it requires some Java knowledge. On a high level, you'd want to register a plugin to handle reputation adjustment actions, check to see if the action matches your criteria (i.e. fighting a fleet, transponder off) and then handle the action appropriately.

actually to make my post relevant to the op how moddable is the metagame structure? I don't have a clue how to java but since you're working on the campaign-level game loop now, would it be hard for a modder to mod an rts-style campaign into the game that includes over-world out-of-combat gameplay? I find Homeworld fascinating but always a near-miss because of the way it's a string of pre-ordained missions and lacks over-world in-between to contextualize the combat and I would love to see starsector bridge that gap

That's an awfully general question for this thread. Overall, though, I think the campaign is pretty moddable.

Shhoot. If I have to start from scratch that's probably a bit out of my depth.

But, if anyone happens to know of a similar mod, I could probably reverse-engineer it..?

[Paralityk]

I have already asked this question in mod thread but sadly no one knows the answer or my question was simply ignored . My problem regards mod ApproLight. Which file do I have to edit to make Originem stay in the station for the whole month not only on 7th?

[Alex]

It's probably a case of "no-one knows". Might be worth asking in that mod's thread.

How do you stop your faction's fleets from flying with their transponder off?

My fleets just fly around with transponders off and have no "leader" ship, and no commanders.

I've been trying to fix Citadel's star, Blaze; in the Citadel system. It's currently hollow like in previous versions of Starsector, but emits the corona as normal.

Which files do I need to modify or create to make it impassible?

Also, how do I make a planet orbit further from the centre of the star system? Citadel's Gateway is within the corona edges and its really burning up every fleet going to and fro (burn goods, burn!).

Here's the planet's API I think:

//GATEWAY
       
        PlanetAPI gateway = system.addPlanet("gateway", blaze, "Gateway", "arid", 0, 100, 1000, 381);
        gateway.setCustomDescriptionId("citadel_gateway");
        gateway.setFaction("citadeldefenders");

Also, it has an abandoned station orbiting it, do I have to change that as well? Here's its data:

//ABANDONDED STATION
       
        SectorEntityToken neutralStation = system.addOrbitalStation("citadel_abandoned_station", system.getEntityById("Gateway"), 155, 200, 53, "Abandoned Orbital Customs", "neutral");
        neutralStation.getMemory().set("$abandonedStation", true);
        MarketAPI market = Global.getFactory().createMarket("citadel_abandoned_station_market", neutralStation.getName(), 0);
        market.setPrimaryEntity(neutralStation);
        market.setFactionId(neutralStation.getFaction().getId());
        market.addCondition(Conditions.ABANDONED_STATION);
        market.addSubmarket(Submarkets.SUBMARKET_STORAGE);
        ((StoragePlugin) market.getSubmarket(Submarkets.SUBMARKET_STORAGE).getPlugin()).setPlayerPaidToUnlock(true);
        neutralStation.setMarket(market);
        neutralStation.setCustomDescriptionId("citadel_gateway_station");
        neutralStation.setInteractionImage("illustrations", "abandoned_station");

All of the above data is from Citadel.java.

Thanks for listening!

[Originem]

What's the meaning of :
"specialWeaponGlowWidth":15,
"specialWeaponGlowHeight":20,   

And, there are how many steps to deal damage? If the damage dealt at a Vector2f, how to calculate all the damage it takes?

I just need the gorram super (and separate) version of the tow cable and I will only get errors and a nervous breakdown if I were to strain myself with it since I suck at java and recently already went through a massive nervous breakdown and I prefer (for my own mental well-being) that somebody please help me to iron it out so it doesn't crash or something. I need that kryptonian tow cable!
