What influences derelict drop rates?

I can have 1 mod with 20 ships and 1 mod with 5 ships.

And the 1 mod with 5 ships will spawn derelict more in sectorgen.. what am I missing? The value? The default_ship_roles.json? I'm kinda confused what directly affects it so much.

Alternatively is there a way for me to exclude certain ships from derelict drops for SectorGen then?

I am trying to remove the original DeliveryBarEventCreator instance (as I have created several of my own). In my BaseModPlugin, I am attempting to view/remove the instance of DeliveryBarEventCreator.class from the BarEventManager:

if (barEventManager.hasEventCreator(DeliveryBarEventCreator.class))
            {
                log("present:"+barEventManager.hasEventCreator(DeliveryBarEventCreator.class));     //this shows true, meaning it found it
                int i = barEventManager.getCreators().indexOf(DeliveryBarEventCreator.class);     
                log("index:"+barEventManager.getCreators().indexOf(DeliveryBarEventCreator.class)); //this returns -1, meaning it isn't present
                boolean successRemove = barEventManager.getCreators().remove(DeliveryBarEventCreator.class); //this returns false, meaning it wasn't removed
                barEventManager.getCreators().remove(i); //this crashes the game since it tries to remove an item at index -1
                log("present2:"+barEventManager.hasEventCreator(DeliveryBarEventCreator.class));
            }

Any thoughts on how to go about this?

See: BaseThemeGenerator.addDerelictShip()

Basically derelicts will be picked from the ships of the factions that have a presence nearby, and from a set of default factions otherwise.

Re: excluding certain ships, I don't think so, offhand.

The list returned by getCreators() doesn't contain objects of type Class. Rather, it contains instances of the various bar event creators. So you want to iterate over that list and check whether each element is "instanceof DeliveryBarEventCreator" to find the one you're looking for.

Is there any way to change the values that gamma/beta/alpha AI cores give to the industries they are attached to? I am no modder, but I have poked my head with Notepad++ everywhere but java files to no avail; the closest I seen them change/be different was as part of a Colonies related mod.

[SafariJohn]

The script for each industry specifies the effects of AI cores on it. So, yes, you have to get into java coding to modify that.

[Yunru]

(Also note that such modification would be mutually exclusive with the likes of Industrial Evolution unless you get really complicated to make it compatible.)

Hello, I am relatively new to modding. I want to add the special colony items to a supply cache, but it doesn't work.
My code:

SectorEntityToken special_sc1 = system.addCustomEntity("specialcache1",
          "Special Supply Cache",
          "supply_cache",
          null);
   special_sc1.setCircularOrbitPointingDown(gaia9planet, 280, 300, 365);
CargoAPI specialsc1salvage = Global.getFactory().createCargo(true);
   specialsc1salvage.addCommodity(Commodities.GAMMA_CORE, 4);
   specialsc1salvage.addCommodity(Commodities.BETA_CORE, 4);
   specialsc1salvage.addCommodity(Commodities.ALPHA_CORE, 2);
   BaseSalvageSpecial.addExtraSalvage(specialsc1salvage, special_sc1.getMemoryWithoutUpdate(), -1);

The supply cache and ai cores will spawn as intended, however trying to add special colony items will always crash the game. What do I need to import and what should the code be?

I appreciate the quick responses! I tried your recommendation, which doesn't give any errors but still doesn't seem to remove the mission type. I am doing this inside the onGameLoad() method of BaseModPlugin, maybe that is occurring before all the bar events are initialized?

Code

            BarEventManager barEventManager = BarEventManager.getInstance();
            Iterator<BarEventManager.GenericBarEventCreator> baritr = barEventManager.getCreators().iterator();
            while (baritr.hasNext())
            {
                BarEventManager.GenericBarEventCreator barevent = baritr.next();
                if (barevent instanceof DeliveryBarEventCreator)
                {
                    baritr.remove();
                }
            }

Can a ship (specifically a module on a larger ship) be made non-restorable in refit screen?

specialsc1salvage.addSpecial(new SpecialItemData("id_in_special_items.csv", "parameter"), 1);

For e.g. a synchrotron, it'd be addSpecial(new SpecialItemData("synchrotron", null), 1); I think

Is there a way to get where a ship's armour grid was just hit from a damageListener? (or any way, for that matter, doesn't have to be in the listener)

I've been trying to make a limited-area armour heal that triggers in response to a high damage hit, but it just doesn't seem possible (with a damageListener) given that the source param is the ship that dealt the damage, not the projectile.

Code

Code

    public static class SDSY_TraumaResponse implements DamageListener {
/*
/ added to a ship by a builtin hullmod's advance()
*/
        @Override
        public void reportDamageApplied(Object source, CombatEntityAPI target, ApplyDamageResultAPI result) {
            log.debug("hit registered");
            if (!(source instanceof DamagingProjectileAPI)) {
                log.debug("what the hell hit me");
                log.debug(source.getClass().getName());
                return;
            }
            log.debug("projectile hit registered");

            ShipAPI ship = (ShipAPI) target;
            ArmorGridAPI grid = ship.getArmorGrid();
            DamagingProjectileAPI sourceProj = (DamagingProjectileAPI) source;

/*
/no idea if below this works, turns out it was never getting used
*/

            if (result.getDamageToPrimaryArmorCell() >= 750f) { 
                Vector2f centerCellLoc = sourceProj.getLocation();
                int[] centerCellOngrid = grid.getCellAtLocation(centerCellLoc);
                int cellX = centerCellOngrid[0];
                int cellY = centerCellOngrid[1];
                int amountToHeal = (int) Math.round(result.getDamageToPrimaryArmorCell() * 0.6);
                int[][] cellToHeal = {{cellX, cellY},{amountToHeal}};
                String traumaKey = "trauma_" + ship.getId();
                ship.getCustomData().put(traumaKey, cellToHeal);
            }
        }
    }

Is there currently any way around this or is it a "not possible at all" kinda thing?
And to turn this into an api request (if it's not doable already) - something like getImpactLoc or getPrimaryArmourCellLoc to return where the damage was applied in engine coords would be v useful in applyDamageResultAPI (or something similar). 

[spaceman256]

Code: java

specialsc1salvage.addSpecial(new SpecialItemData("id_in_special_items.csv", "parameter"), 1);

For e.g. a synchrotron, it'd be addSpecial(new SpecialItemData("synchrotron", null), 1); I think

Thank you! Everything works perfectly now.

I'm looking to change a portrait between four variants based on the in-game month, how would I go about doing so, if possible?

Can a ship (specifically a module on a larger ship) be made non-restorable in refit screen?

Aside from "it not having d-mods", I don't believe so. Let me add an "unrestorable" tag to hulls and variants.

Hmm, I don't think so, no.

You might be able to add a DamageTakenModifier or a HullDamageAboutToBeTakenListener to the target (or to the combat engine); that gets you a point parameter. Which you might save to refer to in the subsequent call to the damage listener.

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding something, but: an every frame script and PersonAPI.setPortraitSprite()?

I was thinking something less intensive, like how production only occurs once a month, but thanks!
(Also I don't know how to check the in-game month.)
