My initial guess would be some part of your build process not working and older code still running, but not being update with your changes - something along those lines.

[Zaros426]

Thank you for the quick answer Alex!

[Yunru]

I hate myself.
I checked the weapon file, because I'd run out of anything else it could be. It was still using the Shock Repeater's projectile rather than it's own.

[Alex]

Ouch! At least you finally found it

Hey, I'm looking to create a mod where you complete some missions that cause a new faction to be created (Nova Maxios becoming the Maxios Charter again). Where should I start? Can I have the group of missions trigger after the main storyline? Thanks in advance.

I need mini help with making a hullmod

Trying to make mass of ship lower by % of its base mass, but i'm not sure how to do it.
What i have tried is this:

Code

    @Override
    public void applyEffectsAfterShipCreation(HullSize hullSize, ShipAPI ship, String id) {
            ship.setMass(ship.getMass() - (ship.getMass() * (Float) MASS_REDUCTION.get(hullSize) / 100f));
	}

But this didn't work, i've read somewhere stat changes should go into "before" function but since there is no stats.mass thing, i tried adding ShipAPI ship there and slapping line there, didn't work either. Is there some simple way to do this or do i have to it in advanceInCombat function?

Spoiler

I never coded in java before, and i'm using notepad to do this, so i can't debug at all, sorry  I did manage to make like 10 hullmods so far though so, as long as it works lol

is there a way to use VisualPanelAPI.showCustomPanel and VisualPanelAPI.showFleetMemberInfo to show both a custom panel and a fleet member info? i'm trying to show an image like so:



except with the weapons on the ship still. the way it currently works is by grabbing the fleet member's hullspec's sprite. i also get the nice background too if i was able to use showFleetMemberInfo.

the only other alternative is using Global.getFactory().createCustomPanel(), but i'm not sure if there's a way to remove custom panels at all.

[SirHartley]

so I got a FleetAssignmentAI that is supposed to make a fleet go to a planet, orbit it, run a script, then return to the player.

However, the fleet appears to get stuck in the system it is in after orbiting the planet, and does not leave.
There is no real reason that I can see.

Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Code: java

    @Override
    protected void pickNext() {
        if (fleet.getAI() == null) return;
        IndEvo_modPlugin.log("Transport Detachment AI setting up");

        if(!cargoTransferScript.finished){
            checkOrCorrectMarket();
            MarketAPI market = Global.getSector().getEconomy().getMarket(targetMarketId);

            fleet.addFloatingText("Heading to " + market.getName(), fleet.getFaction().getBaseUIColor(), 1f);

            fleet.addAssignment(FleetAssignment.GO_TO_LOCATION, market.getPrimaryEntity(), ASSIGNMENT_DURATION_FOREVER, "Delivering cargo to " + market.getName());
            fleet.addAssignment(FleetAssignment.ORBIT_PASSIVE, market.getPrimaryEntity(), ASSIGNMENT_DURATION_3_DAY, "Unloading Cargo", cargoTransferScript);
        }

        fleet.addAssignment(FleetAssignment.GO_TO_LOCATION, Global.getSector().getPlayerFleet(), ASSIGNMENT_DURATION_FOREVER, "Returning to main force", new Script() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                FleetUtils.mergeFleetWithPlayerFleet(fleet);
            }
        });
    }

Where does the code for the venting graphics hide? Or is it obfuscated?

[SafariJohn]

Obfuscated.

Hmm, this is too big a question to really handle here, I think? I'd suggest looking at some existing missions (see: the com.fs.starfarer.api.impl.campaign.missions package) and then asking more specific questions; that might be the best way to go.

is there a way to use VisualPanelAPI.showCustomPanel and VisualPanelAPI.showFleetMemberInfo to show both a custom panel and a fleet member info? i'm trying to show an image like so:

Hmm - I don't believe so, no. Your best bet would probably be to try to show the fleet member info in the custom panel on your own, without using showFleetMemberInfo().

Nothing jumps out as being wrong. I'd suggest maybe trying to debug the state the fleet is in - adding a script that prints out its current assignment and its data (time remaining etc), that kind of thing.

unfortunately there's no way to get stuff like the weapons or the background that showFleetMemberInfo provides. the easiest way would be a way to hide/remove a panel that has been created, but if there's no way then i'll just stick with displaying the ship's sprite.

Is there a way to alter how much damage the AI thinks a weapon would do?
I know the AI can't see scripted damage, but is there a way to say "this does X more damage than it's listed damage"?

so, I tried that exact same thing with a purely vanilla assignment AI, and I suspect it might actually be a vanilla problem.

I made a test mod for you to replicate this.
Only thing required is that you are in a different system than Askonia, and load into the game with the mod enabled.

it'll spawn a fleet that goes to cruor, orbits it for a day, and should then return - but actually gets stuck in-system for no discernible reason.

Hoping to get this resolved, if not now, at least in the next version

Yes, but it's a bit complicated- Use an onFireEffect to increase the projectile's damage so that it properly represents the scripted damage it deals, then reduce it back down to the original value when it actually deals damage using a listener.
