@Zapper: in a nutshell, you need to provide a version of the skill in your mod, and make sure your mod also has a skill_data.csv that points to your implementation of the skill.

It sounds like you're editing the source files from starfarer.api.zip - those are only provided for reference, so changing them directly won't do anything.

@Alex

i have downloaded this mod https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=14502.0 and that uses one .skill file in this structure "data\characters\skills" here it points to {"type":"ALL_SHIPS_IN_FLEET", "script":"skillrework.campaign.skills.AdvancedCountermeasures$Level1f"} this gets an error "unknown scoure" when i edit it to fleetlogistics
it also usess a jar file "jars/skillreworks.jar in this arcive are the class file "jars\SkillRework\campaign\skills" that have been edited to his liking.

i have looked @ the skill_data but dont know what i sould do with it as i'm not making a new skill just over writing and existing skill.

see below the error i'm getting
P.S i am using intelliJ to make the jar file flowing a guide on this forum.

Per drone, yeah.

Thanks - that works quite well

Another question though: how do I get the instance of the statsScript associated with a ship's system?

[fortyseven]

Hi there is it possible when making a customised star system to position it randomly on the sector map?

      

Spoiler

//Star
      PlanetAPI star = system.initStar(
         "star",
         "star_yellow",
         800,
                        x
                        y   
         600);

[close]

So I would like the x and y coordinates to have random values say between -20000 to -10000 or 10000 to 20000 (I want to not have it spawn amongst the core worlds)

Is it possible to use (int)Math.random() for this? and how would you make the "or" argument?

Thank you!

Basic java, you just want to replace the numbers 800 and 600 with a randomX and randomY where

Code

int randomX;
        int randomY;
        do {
            randomX = ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(-20000, 20000);
            randomY = ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(-20000, 20000);
        } while (!(-10000 < randomX && randomX < 10000) && !(-10000 < randomY && randomY < 10000));

Hi tomatopaste, thanks for your reply! I appologise for my lack of java knowledge so you might need to help me a little more a long the way.

I tried to insert your code at x and y but I get a runtime exception due to a parsing error. This is the readout from the log file starting at the error.

I'm looking for a way to make an industry require two industry slots.
My hackjob solution is to make it unavailible if there are less than two open, and auto-place an secondary industry on build, wich causes issues I would rather not have to account for since it can be removed...

is there a better way?
Thanks

One alternative would be to still require 2 slots to start, but on build to reduce the total slots available by one. However, this means you would need to restore the reduced slot if/when the industry is removed.

Another would be to add a planetary condition (or other similar non-industry slot addition) that has the -1 reduction effect while present.

I'd have done that if it was possible to modify the total industry slots on a market, which it is not (without touching pop&infrastructure) to my knowledge.

there is, as far as I can see, no way to make something count as industry (and therefore counting towards the limit on a market) without extending baseIndustry.

but I would gladly be proven wrong

[Alex]

Another question though: how do I get the instance of the statsScript associated with a ship's system?

You can't directly - but if that script puts a reference to itself into the CombatEngineAPI.getCustomData(), you could use that.

I'd have done that if it was possible to modify the total industry slots on a market, which it is not (without touching pop&infrastructure) to my knowledge.

(This'll be possible in the next release, btw, there'll be a market stat for this.)

[SirHartley]

I have the slight fear that my entire mod will become obsolete with the next release.

Is there a way to do it for the current release, or a way to make invisible industry buildings?

[Alex]

IIRC if you override BaseIndustry.isHidden() to return true, that industry won't show up in the main list. It'd still show up in the "industry count tooltip", though - at least I think.

[SirHartley]

Yep, that worked. IndustryCount doesn't show it, but industries&Structures tooltip does.
Thanks!

Is there a way to change the sprite of a ship without having to make duplicated Hulls, variant, and CSVs files? I just want to repaint a ship so all the ships in the fleet match colors. I messed around in Eclipse and found Ship.setSprite API, but it seems that will be complicated to write UI in game in order to work for all ships.

For now, I'll try the hullmod approach. But that is rather specific to a ship and isn't a broad stroke approach in order to paint ALL ships.

[SafariJohn]

If you are okay with all ships of that class having your paint scheme, you should be able to easily make a mod to change the sprites. Just give your sprites the exact same names (and folders) as the ones you want to replace and (if you are replacing mod sprites) be sure to prefix your mod's ID with "zz" so it loads last.

If you only want your ships to have the paint scheme, then a hullmod will probably work. I've never messed around with dynamically changing sprites, so I'm not sure what you can and can't do there.
