Gotcha, fair enough. This code is just a snippet, it's missing some vital stuff like imports, the actual class definition, etc. It would also need to be either 1) pre-complied or 2) adjusted to be compilable with the Java compiler the game comes with (called "Janino").

If you want to tackle it, I'd suggest looking at the code for hullmods the game comes with as a first step, and possibly at some very basic Java tutorials just to get an understanding for what a class definition is/what it looks like.

Will do at some point, Thanks for your help.

Can anyone tell me what this error is. I'm trying to add another weapon to my mod but seem to get this error everytime I try to start it and I can't see anything wrong with the files. it's a modified swarmer.

Sounds like you're trying to pass an enum into a function which does not take an enum paremeter. Can you post you're code for the weapon here?

This looks like an error with weapon_data.csv, actually. Looks like a "50" snuck into the hints column.

[joe130794]

Ah right, This is the weapon csv data. I think I only got round to changing the name so it recognized the other files.

Ships in my mod are very "Cowardly." They attack at maximum weapon range, and miss a lot because of that. Is there a way to make them come closer to enemies before shooting and not running away?

[Originem]

I have a question that how to get the FleetMemberAPI when a ship get captured?

[celestis]

Hi! How to deal with suicidal ship behavior? I created a frigate with a long-range missile weapon (range=3500,DO_NOT_AIM,DO_NOT_CONSERVE) and a burst pd laser, and it always tries to fight at close range and dies. Why?! How to force it to kite?

You need at least one non-missile non-PD weapon for the AI to correctly estimate the range of engagement. So a Tactical Laser maybe? Or a civilian flag.

Thanks a lot, I'll try to add laser! How weird...

Do they behave like civilian ships, or do they actually try to fight, but just prefer extreme range? If it's the latter, that's not going to be easy to work around, since it's in most cases good behavior. About the only thing that comes to mind is experimenting with aggressive officers to see if that makes a difference, and possibly adding in a single low-range weapon.

I have a question that how to get the FleetMemberAPI when a ship get captured?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, could you be more specific about the context this is in?

If you're asking to be *notified* when a ship gets captured, there's no way other than providing an alternate implementation of the FleetInteractionDialogPluginImpl.

Hmm, if a ship get captured, will it appear in reportBattleFinished's primary winner?

[Alex]

I think it will, yes.
