Ok, I lied - looking at the code, it filters out (D) hulls. The shade has a "- Pirates" at the end so it doesn't get picked up. Yes, it's hacky.

  Heh, cool. That explains why they show up in the Codex when I edit Pirate hulls from (D) to (P) then.

Three short ones:
I can't remember what was the function to clear out Hyperspace nebulas around a point. This will be necessary now that custom made system can be placed well within deep hyper.

The procgen also seems to ignore them when placing its own stars, leading to some pretty bad overlap. Is it possible to clear out those as well?

And the most problematic: Systems with a custom star don't seem to spawn at all. I added it to the star_gen_data.csv but the system isn't visible in the campaign. It is however present in the intel screen's planet list, but the game crashed when trying to watch it. Am I missing something there? No idea why that system won't show but it doesn't work with a vanilla star either.

Use NebulaEditor - see StarSystemGenerator.java, line 419 for use example.

If your star system is added before progren runs, it should consider them the same way it considers the vanilla systems; that's not hardcoded. I suspect the issue may be your systems being added after procgen? Not 100% sure, obviously.

I'm not sure what you were trying to do, so it's hard to say. A possibly relevant note: star_gen_data still requires a star to be defined in planets.json etc.

I know this is to stop Linux crashes, but how is it fixed? Everything seems to be in the same cases. And why is it pointing to starsector-core?

Hum, ok good, but why would my systems be added after? I add them in the SectorGeneratorPlugin like all the vanilla systems.

It was just me forgetting to un-comment the wormhole auto-generation...

[Alex]

@InventorRaccoon: hotfix! (resolves the crash)

Hum, ok good, but why would my systems be added after? I add them in the SectorGeneratorPlugin like all the vanilla systems.

That's weird. Do you have a minimal-ish mod I can try this with?

Ah, ok.

Is com.fs.starfarer.api.impl.campaign.rulecmd.newgame not actually a usable package, or is there another reason my class can't be found while in it?

Code

com.fs.starfarer.api.util.RuleException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Command [NGCGetExerelinDefaults] not found in packages:
com.fs.starfarer.api.impl.campaign.rulecmd
com.fs.starfarer.api.impl.campaign.rulecmd.salvage
com.fs.starfarer.api.impl.campaign.rulecmd.newgame

EDIT: Happening with a rule command in plain old com.fs.starfarer.api.impl.campaign.rulecmd as well.

So it's just straight up not finding *any* rule commands from a mod, or only specific ones?

It fails with any rule commands in a mod, as far as I can tell.

I added this to a mod that did not have any rules commands before:

Code: java

package com.fs.starfarer.api.impl.campaign.rulecmd;

import com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.InteractionDialogAPI;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.rules.MemoryAPI;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.util.Misc;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

public class TestRuleCmd extends BaseCommandPlugin {
    
    @Override
    public boolean execute(String ruleId, InteractionDialogAPI dialog, List<Misc.Token> params, Map<String, MemoryAPI> memoryMap) {
        return true;
    }
}

Code: csv

id,trigger,conditions,script,text,options,notes
myTestRule,OpenCommLink,TestRuleCmd,,La la la la la,,

And got the same error.

What exactly do these two lines in settings.json do?

   "officerAIMax":10,
   "baseNumOfficers":4;

[AxleMC131]

What exactly do these two lines in settings.json do?

   "officerAIMax":10,
   "baseNumOfficers":4;

Educated guess:

officerAIMax: Maximum level your officers can reach? Alternatively, could be the maximum number of officers, although seems unlikely.

baseNumOfficers: The maximum number of officers you can command at the start. Default is 4, but you can increase that with one of the Command skills (can't remember which).

[SafariJohn]

I'm pretty sure officerAIMax is the maximum number of officers an NPC fleet can have.

The officer level cap is 20, btw

Could you possibly send me a copy? Would make testing a bit easier.

Right.

what are all the tags?
Tier?
rarity?

Mostly/entirely used for drop generation. See: drop_groups.csv.

what does fighter4, fighter3, fighter2 do?

For autofit - kind of wing, and tier within that group.

num?

Internal, for sorting the spreadsheet. Not used by the game.

(Sorry this is a bit brief...)

[Inventor Raccoon]

After dabbling in station mechanics, got a couple of questions.

Firstly, any way to make it so that stations will appear in markets with modules? If you stick a variant into the .faction file, it'll appear in markets, but only as a blank base, no modules, and there isn't a way to attach modules. I don't think it works like a built-in weapon, just putting in the variant name of the module instead of a weapon name isn't accepted.

Secondly, what makes it so that stations explode on death? STATION tag? Presence of modules? It's great for large stations where all of their defenses and weapons are on modules, but on a smaller (around the size of a destroyer) station where the main section isn't invulnerable and has weapons, it makes balance trickier. You either have to make the modules very strong (so it's harder to actually make any progress in weakening the station) or risk having the entire station just blown away by two bombing runs.

You'll need to add it directly to that submarket's cargo (i.e. getCargo().getMothballedShips().addFleetMember()). If it's through the .faction file, all you'll get is the stripped hull.

I forget exactly, but if you're thinking that the base of the station could be destroyed and the modules could survive and fight on, that's going to be tricky for various reasons. For one, the station will register as disabled post-combat.
