Yeah, extending MarketCMD and overriding showDefenses() sounds like your best bet. As you noted, that data only exists locally in that method...

Ok, that's what I'll do then. Thank you Alex!

How do i know if a weapon is Point Defense or Anti-Fighter?
I want to make a hullmod that blocks any non-PD non-AF weapon to be equipped while buffing the range of PD weapons.

I am looking at the WeaponAPI and i can't find it.

-edit-

I think i found, PrimaryRoleStr right?
Now to figure out how to force any that don't match it to unequip... or forbid equipping in first place...

[Ed]

I can't figure out a way to remove or disable the weapons, right now I am trying this

Code

for (WeaponAPI weapon : weapons) {        	
   String role = weapon.getSpec().getPrimaryRoleStr();
   if(role.contains("Point Defense") || role.contains("Anti Fighter")) {
       continue;
   }
   weapon.disable();// <-- this is crashing (nullpointer)
}

I get a crash with this one when i swap a PD weapon with a non-PD weapon

I know this isn't the advice you want, but I think you're going about this the wrong way. Starsector has no built-in mechanism for preventing the fitting of weapons, hullmods, or fighters, and trying force it to work that way will inevitably lead to issues that are all but impossible to resolve. A far more practical and user-friendly approach would be to discourage certain weapons by penalizing their usage somehow. I'm telling you this for the sake of your own time. I'm glad you're pushing the limits of what the engine can do with your mod, but you need to be realistic as well.

Code

weapon.disable();// <-- this is crashing (nullpointer)

My guess is that you're calling disable() in a context in which it's not supported (e.g. in the refit screen instead of during battle). Otherwise, I have no idea why disable() would throw a NPE

[Ed]

Oh so disable was combat only, i see.

Thanks for the advice Sundog, but i figured out a solution, i tested it plenty and didn't get any issues, it is similar to the one used by Sylphon RnD drone only hullmod

What you probably want to do is edit commodities.csv and increase the econUnit column, since that directly affects how many cargo units of commodities correspond to an "economy unit".

Thank you, I found the file and made the edits. I do have to make the change for every mod right? That's what I am doing right now.

On a related note, I tried to search on the forum but found no answer. I'm sure it came up last year or so though. I mostly played on randomly-generated sectors and I never see the lobsters although I get trade missions for them. Similarly I the Hazard Mining Incorporated mod is supposed to add a number of exotic resources but none of their market seems to make them whenever I generate a sector. Is there something to do to fix this?

Is it possible to make a fighter that delivers ammo to other ships?
It would have to move up to an ally, do an animation in there, the ally would get a bit of ammo restocked and then the fighter would return to the carrier. How could this be implemented?

sort of like maintenance / repair drone but for ammo, interesting idea

Probably, yeah, though it seems like a lot of effort. I'd imagine you'd have to write a bunch of scripts for the fighter AI and the actual effect. The fighter AI is where you'd take care of the landing/return/etc. I realize that's a bit vague, but in my defense, so is the question

If it is possible i wanna try, how much of the fighter behavior can be overwritten?

Is there a mod that already does something similar? I could reverse-engineer it.

[Alex]

To the best of my knowledge, 100%, but I'm not sure if anyone has tried modding in a fully-functional fighter AI, so some things may be broken, and you'll be treading on relatively unexplored ground.

so, there were/are mods where fighters were overriden in such way?

e.g. theirs weapon have negative value of damage effect (vs shield or hull , weapons or engines)
combined with ability target and attack friendly ship instead of enemy
thus as result they regenerate shield, hull and weapon/engine too ?

if i can't make them deliver ammo i might try to make repair drones

[Dwarden]

after observing mods like e.g. nexerelin to override starting choices from the other smaller mods start options

i want to ask question if there there is way to make it modular / expanding ?
so one may combine those starting options alongside (ofc only if they compatible)

variety of selection in the start options would be very nice

now if that isn't possible to do via modding then i guess i would need to repost it into suggestions
(tho i bet someone else already suggested it in past)

Hello
I made a ship, it works in sim battle, it shows up in codex variants, it is part of midline blueprints, it shows up in fleet doctrine and custom production BUT when I order its construction, the month its due to be completed report says its delivered to chosen market, but it doesnt spawn there. additionally, entire month of production capabilities is deducted from my funds, even though it should take only a couple of thousands to finish the job. the ship doesnt disappear from production list, and money is further withdrawn every consecutive month, each one reporting production complete.
I have no clue where to look for a solution? I used esteemed Vayra's tutorial, files seem ok, hull, variants, IDs too... 
thanks
