No on both counts, I'm afraid - crew/marines are hardcoded as the only ones in a few different places. Sorry!

[Histidine]

Ah, ouch. Could it be changed to read the personnel tag in commodities.csv?

Two new questions:

• How do I get a fleet's immediate movement waypoint (e.g. "I want to go to another star system, so I am currently headed for jump point X")? Is NavigationModulePlugin.getClickToMoveLocation() what I should be using?
• A user reported a graphical glitch in my mod's use of FleetMemberPickerDialog; see the white square in
  
  At a guess, what might cause such a thing?

Probably not, honestly, not unless there's a vanilla use case. It'd be too much of a pain to do and make sure that it works (and that it continues to work) otherwise. There are many loose ends where I'm not *quite* sure whether they would "just work" or would need to be changed, and it's a lot of stuff to look through.

Hmm. So the ultimate course target is SectorAPI.getUIData().getCourseTarget(). The intermediate one... <digs in> doesn't look like it's exposed. Let me add these to CampaignUIAPI:
   SectorEntityToken getCurrentCourseTarget();
   SectorEntityToken getNextStepForCourse(SectorEntityToken courseTarget);
   void layInCourseForNextStep(SectorEntityToken courseTarget);
   String getNameForCourseTarget(SectorEntityToken entity, boolean isEndpoint);
   float getLastLegDistance(SectorEntityToken courseTarget);
   
In the meantime, I think playerFleet.getInteractionTarget() should do the job. NavigationModulePlugin is ... ahh, I totally misinterpreted the question, thought it was about the course widget. Aha. Actually, getInteractionTarget() should work there, too, but it may not always point to that, i.e. if the fleet gets distracted chasing an enemy. getClickToMoveLocation() is just going to be some point along the path, which gets adjusted depending on how fast the fleet wants to go etc (and is iirc capped out at 10,000 units away from the fleet), it's not always going to be the destination.

A user reported a graphical glitch in my mod's use of FleetMemberPickerDialog; see the white square in
...
At a guess, what might cause such a thing?

Probably the icon rendering not being tested with icons that large - it does some stuff clearing out the destination alpha buffer and this likely means that the quads it's doing this with start overlapping for neighboring icons past a certain size and cause a bit of a mess. I *think* I may have tweaked this in the dev version? Not 100% sure.

Is there any way to add restricted hullmods (such as the missile autoforge) to ships that aren't meant to have them by the use of console commands? Or, would I have to actually add them to the ship files themselves in order to do it? I've already tried manually adding the blueprint for certain restricted modspecs into my inventory and learning them that way, but they still won't allow me to actually put them on a ship

[SirHartley]

I am facing a rather problematic situation - I got a class that just won't load:

Code

java.lang.RuntimeException: Problem loading class [com.fs.starfarer.api.impl.campaign.econ.conditions.deconomics_edict_conscription]
	at com.fs.starfarer.loading.scripts.ScriptStore.Ó00000(Unknown Source)
	at com.fs.starfarer.loading.newsuper.getNewPluginInstance(Unknown Source)
	at com.fs.starfarer.campaign.econ.MarketCondition.readResolve(Unknown Source)
	at com.fs.starfarer.campaign.econ.MarketCondition.<init>(Unknown Source)
	at com.fs.starfarer.campaign.econ.Market.addCondition(Unknown Source)
	at com.fs.starfarer.campaign.econ.Market.addCondition(Unknown Source)

All entries seem fine and the other 7 conditions I made load without issue.
This happens regardless of what the content of the class is.

Do you have any pointers for me?

You'd have to either edit the variant file or set the hullmod to not be hidden (via hull_mods.csv), but the latter might have some unintended consequences such as other ships starting to use it. Not 100% sure.

Do you have any pointers for me?

Post more of the error - there should be another stack trace, I believe? - and the contents of the class

My guess would be the maybe it doesn't have a default constructor?

[SirHartley]

Oh my god there is a second stack trace
problem solved - thank you so much

[Morrokain]

Are there hardcoded/seeded (by hull id specifically) derelicts in vanilla, and if so, what class in the API handles that and can it be easily modified?

If that part is obfuscated from the API, can I by chance alternatively get a list of the hull ids that can be seeded?

(I've removed all the vanilla references to hull ids in favor of a unique TC prefix for each of my ids (to prevent any mod merging from causing crashes or other weirdness) and replaced each hull instance that is necessary with an overriding csv line which removes its tags for blueprints/faction use and adds hints to remove them from the codex and prevent them from spawning in markets.)

Trying to cover all my bases for the full TC experience before working on additional tweaks to the "lite version"

[Alex]

Other than MiscellaneousThemeGenerator spawning XIV Legions, hmm. There's a derelict shuttle on the station near Asharu (see: Corvus.java), and I *think* that might be it. Nothing else comes to mind, at least.

Oh! The game will also spawn a nebula_Standard whenever it can't find a ship that it's trying to spawn.

Thanks! The only thing that may be a problem there for me is the legion. The shuttle is unchanged in the TC (I'm like 90% sure anyway) and the nebula which will change with the next release shouldn't ideally come up if I'm doing things correctly.

I'll take a look at the theme generator class and see about different solutions. I feel that not changing the id may inevitably interfere with other mods, so I will likely have to do something.

[Histidine]

How do I get the list of freelance administrators the player has hired?

[SafariJohn]

CharacterDataAPI has getAdmins()

[SirHartley]

I'm trying to selectively disable the storage parts of a Submarket - as in, can't store ships in a commodity-only-Submarket.
Could you point me in the right direction? I'm not finding anything in BaseSubmarketPlugin...

never mind, I can't read.
thanks

[Timid]

What's the fastest way to grab the player's selected skill for quests and such?

[ArneHD]

Does anyone here know how to get a hold of Java 7? I've set up Netbeans IDE, but I've only been able to find JDE 14/13.

Thanks for your help.
