I can't get a proper convoy to spawn in and deliver goods to the station:


I've tried adding a Zorg convoy to deliver random weapons and ships to Zorg Zeta.


I've added this line to the ZorgGen:
      system.addScript(new ZorgConvoySpawn(sector, hyper, 1, 10, hyper.createToken(-6000, 2000), station));


Maybe I forgot to import something?

Help? 

[PCCL]

does it just straight up not spawn? Or is there like a crash or something?

[Thaago]

I'd be surprised if that doesn't crash... the add script method needs an implementation of EveryFrameScript, not a spawnpoint.

A different question: is it currently possible to change the amount of money enemy fleets give on death, or to change the amount of loot they drop? (I'm interested in drastically reducing both).

[Alex]

Just a heads up:

I had to rename the custom image that I wanted to use to one of the vanilla images, like "cargo_loading". For some reason it didn't work (crash to desktop) when I entered the custom file's name "zorg_interior". It works fine now, but it is still a little odd to me that I can't use a custom name for the file.

To clarify, I had to rename the image file in my mod from "zorg_interior" to "cargo_loading". Otherwise the game crashes to desktop when trying to dock with the station that uses the custom image.

Did you add your zorg_interior to the "illustrations" section in settings.json? That'll ensure the image is actually loaded when the game runs. If you did and it still didn't work: what does the crash log say?

A different question: is it currently possible to change the amount of money enemy fleets give on death, or to change the amount of loot they drop? (I'm interested in drastically reducing both).

Yes, but you'd have to provide a custom implementation of the FleetEncounterInteractionPlugin. The changes themselves would be pretty minor, but it's just a question of providing your adjusted implementation via a CoreCampaignPlugin and building a jar with all the right stuff. Basically, you'd want to start with the core implementation and tweak it a bit.

[Gotcha!]

Alex, is it possible to create some possibility to have certain items and ships persistent onboard a station, at least until the player buys them?

Both my mods use (quest)items that unlock higher class ships.
- When these items disappear (and they do) then players won't be able to access these higher class ships.
- Only a limited number of these ships are unlocked and traders are not delivering new ones, meaning players can lose their chance to have these specific ships.

I hereby desperately beg for a way to make items and ships a permanent presence until the player buys them.

Like:

Code

Cargo.addMothballedShip(FleetMemberType.SHIP, "hii_sajuuk_Hull", null,persistent:true);

Code

Cargo.addItems(CargoAPI.CargoItemType.RESOURCES, "hiigaran_badge_of_admiralty", 1,persistent:true);

Ah, I see. In the following:

Code

case CONTINUE_LOOT:

			visual.setVisualFade(0, 0);
			dialog.hideTextPanel();

			visual.showLoot("Salvaged", context.getLoot(), new CoreInteractionListener() {

				...

context.getLoot() returns a cargoAPI that I could edit to my hearts content before passing is to visual. (And later is the credits, same deal but with float/ints.)

When registering the edited CoreCampaignPlugin, its enough to just make a ModPlugin that calls Global.getSector().registerPlugin(new MyCampaignPlugin()), right? And with priority MOD_GENERAL the new implementation will be default rather than the old?


Sorry for so many questions, I'm just still wrapping my head around how the plugins work. Thanks for all the help!

[Alex]

Yep, you could do that. Or you could make a copy of FleetEncounterContext and adjust the scrapDisabledShipsAndGenerateLoot() method, and also edit your FleetEncounterInteractionPlugin version to call your customized FleetEncounterContext version. It's also got a computeCreditsLooted() method. Either way should be fine.

Correct.

IIRC there was a mechanic that allowed you to raise your hardflux in prior releases. Cant quite remember when last i saw it.
Would it be possible to mod this kind of mechanic, preferable as a hullmod?

[Erick Doe]

I believe this has been asked before, but I simply couldn't find it.

Is it possible to set a score of music for an individual system?

[Alex]

It's possible, but afaik it was gone via scripting. Take a look at the FluxTrackerAPI and HullModEffect.applyInCombat()

Is it possible to set a score of music for an individual system?

Not at the moment.

[Cycerin]

Gotta let us do that soon, Alex.

[MShadowy]

Okay, yeah, I'm about at the limits of my ability here.  The boolean for optionSelected keeps returning "void" no matter what boolean I end up putting in there.  Only thing that occurs to me is that I must have gone entirely in the wrong direction.  Fah, I should probably ask someone who's actually put together new interactions how they did it.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Gotcha!]

I am making a mission where the player needs to take out 3 specific ships, but I'm doing it wrong.

Taken from Dire Straits, I modified this line, just throwing extra ships in, but that doesn't work:

Code

api.defeatOnShipLoss("HSS Bullwark", "HSS Stainless", "HSS Deep Dive");

Does anyone know what I would need to do?

Edit: I did it like this, and it seems to work:

Code

api.defeatOnShipLoss("HSS Bullwark, HSS Stainless, HSS Deep Dive");

[Alex]

Gotta let us do that soon, Alex.

Not entirely sure how well that'd work. Inter-system transitions could be very common; it might make sense to instead base music on larger regions.



Also: I put together a custom interaction dialog example; you can check it out here. It doesn't require using jar files.


@MShadowy: Hmm. I don't think that's going to work. Not sure what you mean by "always void" (perhaps "null"?), but you can only get a ShipAPI object when in battle. They don't, generally, exist in the campaign. The way you would want to go about what you're doing is by creating a separate .ship file for each paintjob, and then replace the player's ship with a custom variant when they choose what they want. Copying the variant over will be a bit of a pain, since the underlying .ship is different.

[MShadowy]

"void" is what netbeans keeps telling me: "expected boolean but found 'void'" which probably means a null error, as you pointed out.

Well, thanks for the advice; time to do mass copying of .ship files I guess.
