How can you set a child module to be rendered on top of weapons? For example, a block of armor that rests atop a weapon and only reveals it when it is removed, like SCY's Nemean Lion. When I clamped some station modules on my ship, they always get rendered under the weapons...

@Sundog: thank you for helping out here!

Could someone tell me if I'm missing something?

I can't think of anything likely off the top of my head, but then I'm not exactly a rules.csv guru. It might be a good idea to post the relevant rules.csv rows so people can take a look.

Here's the section of rules.csv I'm using, and here's the salvage file that's used in the event.

If you run the game in dev mode, the log will show a lot of stuff regarding which rule is picked and why, so I'd recommend looking at that.

Also where is what conditions an industry needs determined?

See: Industry.isAvailableToBuild(). Farming and Mining (and some other ones) have implementations that could be useful for reference.

I'm not sure how this is done in SCY, hmm. Possibly decorative weapons are involved? But, again, not sure.

I was hoping that wouldn't be the answer.
I have multiple mining industries, and they all share this code:

Code

	@Override
	public boolean isAvailableToBuild() {
		if (!super.isAvailableToBuild()) return false;
		
		boolean YunruIsPossible = false;
		boolean YunruCanBuild = false;
		boolean[] YunruCount = {true, false, false, false, false, false};
		int YunruCurrentCount = 0;
		
		if (getSpec().hasTag(YunruNewTags.TAG_1) == true) YunruCurrentCount = 1; // What's the highest count mine to exist?
		if (getSpec().hasTag(YunruNewTags.TAG_2) == true) YunruCurrentCount = 2;
		if (getSpec().hasTag(YunruNewTags.TAG_3) == true) YunruCurrentCount = 3;
		if (getSpec().hasTag(YunruNewTags.TAG_4) == true) YunruCurrentCount = 4;
		if (getSpec().hasTag(YunruNewTags.TAG_5) == true) YunruCurrentCount = 5;
		if (getSpec().hasTag(YunruNewTags.TAG_6) == true) YunruCurrentCount = 6;

		if (getSpec().hasTag(YunruNewTags.TAG_1) == true) {
			for (MarketConditionAPI mc : market.getConditions()) {
				String commodity = ResourceDepositsCondition.COMMODITY.get(mc.getId());
				if (commodity != null) {
					String industry = ResourceDepositsCondition.INDUSTRY.get(commodity);
					if (Industries.MINING.equals(industry)) YunruIsPossible = true;
				}
			}
		} else YunruIsPossible = true; // No need to check further mines, since the first is needed to build them and it already checked

		if (YunruIsPossible = true) {
			for (Industry ind : market.getIndustries()) {
				if (ind.getSpec().hasTag(Industries.MINING) && ind.getSpec().hasTag(YunruNewTags.TAG_1)) {
					YunruCount[1] = true; // Mine 1 exists
				}
				if (ind.getSpec().hasTag(Industries.MINING) && ind.getSpec().hasTag(YunruNewTags.TAG_2)) {
					YunruCount[2] = true; // Mine 2 exists
				}
				if (ind.getSpec().hasTag(Industries.MINING) && ind.getSpec().hasTag(YunruNewTags.TAG_3)) {
					YunruCount[3] = true; // Mine 3 exists
				}
				if (ind.getSpec().hasTag(Industries.MINING) && ind.getSpec().hasTag(YunruNewTags.TAG_4)) {
					YunruCount[4] = true; // Mine 4 exists
				}
				if (ind.getSpec().hasTag(Industries.MINING) && ind.getSpec().hasTag(YunruNewTags.TAG_5)) {
					YunruCount[5] = true; // Mine 5 exists
				}
				for (int i = 0; i < YunruCurrentCount; i++)  { // Checks all previous mines to this one
						if (YunruCount[i] != true) {
										break; // If any previous mines don't exist, can't be built
									}
									else if (i == YunruCurrentCount - 1) {
						YunruCanBuild = true;
					}
				}
			}
		}
		return YunruCanBuild;
	}

But only the first is ever available to build, and a second added through something like console commands doesn't produce anything.
What am I missing?

Have you tried reordering the weapon slots in the .ship file? Maybe if the station slot was put above all the other weapons, it'll be rendered on top.

Yeah, I tried this but no dice... I also tried looking at the lion's animation code, but I can't seem to find what I need. I'll probably just revisit it later.

EDIT: Going by what Alex said, I took a look at the lion's sprite files and what do you know, it turns out it also uses a decorative weapon with the exact same sprite and position as the armor modules. It then uses that to cover the weapons (moving both the station and the decor at once). Ingenious.

I'm making a faction planet, and I have most things set up: faction, system, planet, markets, patrols. There's one thing I can't seem to find, which is, how do I set the planet to be the faction's home planet? Specifically, if I start a new game in Nexerelin, how do I start spawned at that planet, and not out in hyperspace?

What is the best way to remove the AI of a module? I want to make shield modules manually controlled by the main ship system, but since the modules have their own AI they keep toggling their shields by themselves.

I tried making a dummyAI with no methods implemented, but i get nullpointers this way.

[Alex]

Hmm - have you tried ship.setShipAI(null) on the module? Otherwise: seeing what you did and what the exception is could help figure it out.

I just set the module shipAi null as you suggested, by the main ship system, and got the same error

Code

98852 [Thread-4] ERROR com.fs.starfarer.combat.CombatMain  - java.lang.NullPointerException

It doesn't tell me where exactly the problem is

-edit-

problem was the AiFlags being null

Code

public edshipyard_Dummy_AI() {
        AIFlages = new ShipwideAIFlags();
}

this fixed it

[Alex]

Ahh, right, never mind, that won't work. But a dummy plugin implementing ShipAIPlugin should work, I believe, as long as its getConfig() and getAIFlags() methods return not-null.

Yep made the dummy and it works now,

[Yunru]

Is there a way to alter vanilla plugins?
Specifically I want blueprint packages to give individual blueprints instead, but a new plugin means it doesn't work unless the package calls the new plugin instead (which is problematic with mods).

Failing that, is there a way to (effectively) do a search and replace on which plugin a blueprint calls?

[MajorTheRed]

A really dumb question, especially since I've been modding for a moment now...

In hull.csv, what is the "8/6/5/4%" column for?
