I fixed it with absolutely genius legit moves

What character encoding standards does Starsector support?  I know it supports the basic ASCII set, but what about fancier stuff like UTF-8?

[NikoTheGuyDude]

What kind of scenarios could generate this type of error?

For context, this occurs when a modular ship of mine has their core get destroyed (80% chance of break, 3 min pieces, 7 max). I have a hullmod on some of its modules that cause modules with a matching ID in their tags to explode, however the core doesnt have this hullmod, and it only seems to happen when the core dies.

EDIT: forgot... to fuckin,,,, assign bounds to a module. .

On that note, how about this one, too? it seems equally esoteric. Happened a few seconds after I went into the variant refit screen for my left heavy combat module on my satellite.

Is there a way for a shipsystem to automatically regenerate ammo for ballistic/ammo weapons constantly while it is activated? I know that there is missile auto forge for missiles but there doesn’t seem to be code connected to it so I’m not sure what to do here.

How do you check if DevMode is on or not?

Global.getSettings().isDevMode()



I am having trouble with playing custom music when I create a custom dialog directly in the campaign. I copied the way Sword of Eventide does it. I thought it was because the system I was in has custom music, but now I am not sure. Is there some surefire way to play music for a dialog?

Is the amount of resources required/consumed when surveying and colonizing adjustable? If so where can I find them in the API?

Does anybody know why the ship is duplicating when fighter/wings are deployed?

Take a look at the .fnt files! It's "ASCII plus a bit", basically.

If the ship is null, the bounds are null, or the ship sprite is null. Sounds like the same "didn't specify bounds" issue.

(Side note: attaching stack trace screenshots is not the most convenient thing. I know sometimes there's characters in there that the forum can't handle, but it seems ok most of the time.)

How do you check if DevMode is on or not?

Quickest way would be to try some devMode command to see if it works. Like Ctrl-Z in the campaign to turn off sensors and reveal everything, or something along those lines.

I'd suggest trying this in a system that doesn't have custom music to figure out if that's the issue or not. The way SOE does it should work, generally, though - unless some other script is also constantly running and calling the same methods, fighting it for control of the music player.

A bunch of static values in SurveyPluginImpl.

Need a bit more info

Could be something like a ship system that launches drones but is set to the ship's variant, or something like that, but it's hard to say just from this.

Re-post for Alex since nobody seems to have an answer in modding:

How do i go about adding a character to a station? typically, when you visit a station and pull up a comm listing of various contacts, you see all the individuals you can interact with. How would i add a custom individual to this list and instigate a conversation with them?

Thanks.

"Great" news, if I put a debugger breakpoint right after I set the custom music, it plays the music until I let the code move on and play the ability sound, after which it goes silent again. When the dialog closes the custom music resumes instead of the campaign music. Pretty sketchy that debugging changes the sound player's behavior.

I'll see if I can trigger my custom music after the ability sound plays - that seems to be what is cutting it off.


EDIT:

Moved starting code to the ability's activateImpl() method after the dialog is opened, which got the music to start. I got it to quit properly too by changing the end code to:

Code: java

Global.getSoundPlayer().pauseCustomMusic();
Global.getSoundPlayer().setSuspendDefaultMusicPlayback(false);

instead of

Code: java

Global.getSoundPlayer().setSuspendDefaultMusicPlayback(false);
Global.getSoundPlayer().restartCurrentMusic();

because it was playing the default encounter music for a second or else it kept playing the custom music or else...

Only complaint left is that it restarts the campaign music instead of resuming it, but that is minor.

See: CoreLifecyclePluginImpl.createInitialPeople() for some code that does that. Basically, need to create a person, add them to the market, and add them to the comm directory. The "important people" stuff is optional.

Solved!!

little bit tweak on collision radius that's unexpected though
