A question. How does addafterimage work in ShipAPI?

Hard to explain exactly, basically it allows you to make the ship look like it's smeared/moving fast/something like that. Can add a bunch of images of the ship sprite that move away from it in the specified direction and fade in/out over the specified duration.

So if i addafterimage at like ship.getloc.x,ship.getloc.y,ship.getVel.x(or 0),ship.getVel.y(or 0), a copy sprite will appear at that place? If not, what will happen?

Yes, exactly - but it's only of the base sprite, not the weapons, engine glows, or anything else. Not even decorative weapons.

Just wondering how can I change the amount of fleet points in a mission so I can deploy more ships. Tried opening the mission in word pad and searching for "80" because that is the current limit for the mission but can't find it.
Thanks in advance.

And can someone tell me how to make projectiles not hit missiles. Thank you

Hey all, I don't post often but I am pretty stumped with this one.
I get this when loading the game with a mod I am making. I am using jdk8 as others have suggested its jdk7 that caused this issue.
Thanks in advance!

Edit: Cant read. should have used jdk7. Thanks Snrasha!

[Snrasha]

Yes, this is a problem because you compile your mod in jdk8. You can use research on this forum and found all same solution, retrograde to JDK7.

For Joe130794, i have a idea, but maybe too bad for that and this is not very usefull.

[joe130794]

Which one? The missions fleet points or Projectiles not hitting missiles. I have flak for missiles but want my main guns to not hit missiles so it actually hit's what I want.

Recorded some gameplay with a modified ship. I changed the autofire on some of the weapons so you can see whats shooting. I want my main gun batteries to not engage fighters because they tend to miss and I don't want the heavy gun batteries to hit and be hit by missiles if anyone can help.

How do I change the number of hit points that a missile has?

I kinda figured it would be under "proj hitpoints" in weapon_data.csv (since what else would that do?) but even after reducing that value to 1, missiles are still taking multiple hits from Vulcans or surviving a a second or two from a point defense beam. Other changes I've made to weapon_data.csv are working just fine, so I know the mod itself isn't broken.

Are you sure there isn't something miss-aligned on that row? Or a missing comma? You can use OpenOffice to check your formatting easily.

Pretty sure. I use LibreOffice (an OpenOffice fork that's still alive) to do the editing in the first place. Never had a problem like that before. I've changed a few other things, so they are chargedown restricted rather than using ammo, but everything else is working fine. Here's the line for the Harpoon MRM; it should have two hit points, per the entry just before the AI hints:

Harpoon MRM,harpoon,0,200,2500,,375,,15,30,5,,,,HIGH_EXPLOSIVE,0,,0,5.9,2,0.1,0,0,0,,,300,100,12.5,2,"DO_NOT_AIM, DO_NOT_CONSERVE",11.5

Just making sure that there isn't a value I need to change somewhere else.

A quick question: what "aiHints" can we use in .system files?

Okay, so I went back and copied over the stuff that I had changed, and then changed only the projectile hit points, just to make sure that I hadn't stumbled into some oddball way of breaking the file. All behavior is just the same as vanilla, including the hit points, which should have been lowered dramatically but still seem to show base values.

Has anyone successfully changed this, or are these problems a one-off thing for me?

Works fine for me.

One shot/rack/pod missile weapons share the same projectile, so any change in the csv stats must be made for all 3 versions of the weapon.
