WeaponAPI.getShip() returns the ship the weapon is mounted on.

but i need the weapon that fired it, not the ship
and once ship dies all getWeapon return null...

[etherealblade]

Is it possible to add your own custom music track that only plays when you enter a specific system?

[dmaiski]

1. is there some way to use phase skimm blurr effect in a script without using phase skim?

2. is htere some way to make a ships shileld non-coliding, so it dose not interact with attacks?

[xenoargh]

I don't think no. 1 can be done atm, but no. 2 can be done by forcing the shield to zero-size.

Is it just me or does it seem like missiles don't get custom explosion sounds from a proximity fuse? It just plays the normal impact sound from the core game no matter what sound I specify.

Copying my AOE missiles I see... 

At the moment, it looks like all missile or projectile impacts are coded to use only the default weapon impact sounds. If I recall correctly, that gives a choice of kinetic, high explosive, energy, or beam impact sounds to choose from. You could potentially add impact sounds to each category in the sounds.json file, but then everything else in the category would use them too. What you'd need to do is create a separate projectile impact class (like KINETIC2) and give that class its own set of impact sounds. At the moment, I don't think this is possible, but if you figure out a way, let me know.

[xenoargh]

Just use playSound()?

[dmaiski]

I don't think no. 1 can be done atm, but no. 2 can be done by forcing the shield to zero-size.

how? when i do it from ship files it causes bug

Hi,

       I get an error 15085 [Thread-6] ERROR com.fs.starfarer.combat.String  - org.json.JSONException: JSONObject["displayName"] not found.
I think I've nailed it down to my faction file. However I simply don't understand what's going on. I've looked all over the place for an answer to this. I'll post my faction file, if anyone's willing to look at it, maybe I'm just not looking in the correct place, or I'm overlooking something.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated

[dmaiski]

its unhappy with one of your "displayNAME" stats, try systematicaly deleting anything that uses that one at a time till it stops giving you the error. then you found your bug

[maximilianyuen]

just to quick check if anyone can help narrow down where should I look at to fix this error....

I checked all the "id" parts in my code in .ship/.wpn/.system/.proj which got this line

{
   "id":"eonex_main",  # this id must match what's in the spreadsheet

which is the only place i know could lead to this error....

I'm confused as to where do I edit the general price of things. I'm trying to duplicate some ships and weapons on vanilla for testing purposes and I know what I need to edit in terms of graphics and stats, but when it comes to pricing and availability I have no idea where to look. I've seen the " base value" entry in the weapons CSV but I don't think that's it. In fact, what is that? The values there are nowhere near the ones I see in stations and the CSV thread is outdated.

Another question I have is what the AI takes into account before engagement. What values does it look at for it to decide if it will run or engage? The total fleet deployment value?

[dmaiski]

@maximilianyuen
same method as above, delete parts of your code 1 by 1 till the error stops, last thing you deleted was causing the error
(also complain to alex for better error logs)

its unhappy with one of your "displayNAME" stats, try systematicaly deleting anything that uses that one at a time till it stops giving you the error. then you found your bug

@Cyan Leader
the .cvs files  like ship/wing/weapon_data.cvs
theres a column labled base value... its the fourth column

Oh nvm, I made a mistake when I was going through the files. What about my second question, any ideas? It's basically: what would I have to do in order to have a huge fleet and still have every AI opponent be aggressive to it.

Unfortunately, that didn't work. I tried that several times, even copying lines from the hegemony faction file. I also did the displayName of the faction aswell. Am I missing something here?

[Runoved]

Thanks again for answering my previous question. I need your advice again.
I created a ship whose main weapon is a slow but powerful built-in long-range laser. And testing has shown that it is quite effective when controlled by the player. But when it is run by AI, strange happens. He just flies in circles around the enemy using only his PD weapons. At the same time from the main weapon he shoots an average of two - three times per battle. What could be the problem? May need to specify some additional tips for AI in the properties of the ship or weapons?
Or may need to somehow adjust the performance ship or weapons so AI understood how to use them?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
