Not clones of weapons, but clones of their spec so it can be changed. I think it's been used to, for example, make the fire points move / fire angles change to create beams that sweep, that sort of thing.

WeaponAPI.ensureClonedSpec() is the method that makes a copy of the spec in combat.

So if I wanted a hullmod that implements spec changes such as

Code

weapon.getSpec().getAIHints().remove(WeaponAPI.AIHints.PD_ONLY);

I would need to use

Code

WeaponAPI.ensureClonedSpec()

and my previous line under

Code

public void advanceInCombat(ShipAPI ship, float amount) {

and that should create spec clones of weapons that meet the conditions only on ships with the hullmod and as soon as combat is over they revert to their default spec?

I just finished up writing and testing this:

Code

public void advanceInCombat(ShipAPI ship, float amount) {

        if (!ship.isAlive()) return;

        List weapons = ship.getAllWeapons();
        Iterator iter = weapons.iterator();
        while (iter.hasNext()) {
            WeaponAPI weapon = (WeaponAPI) iter.next();

            // Not Missile check
            boolean notMissile = weapon.getType() != WeaponAPI.WeaponType.MISSILE;

            // PD tag checkers
            boolean pdAlsoOrig = weapon.getSpec().getAIHints().contains(WeaponAPI.AIHints.PD_ALSO);
            boolean pdAlsoCon = weapon.hasAIHint(WeaponAPI.AIHints.PD_ALSO);
            boolean antiFtrOrig = weapon.getSpec().getAIHints().contains(WeaponAPI.AIHints.ANTI_FTR);
            boolean antiFtrCon = weapon.hasAIHint(WeaponAPI.AIHints.ANTI_FTR);
            boolean pdOnlyOrig = weapon.getSpec().getAIHints().contains(WeaponAPI.AIHints.PD_ONLY);
            boolean pdOnlyCon = weapon.hasAIHint(WeaponAPI.AIHints.PD_ONLY);

            // PD Tag Amalgamation
            boolean posCheck = (pdAlsoOrig || pdAlsoCon || antiFtrOrig || antiFtrCon || pdOnlyOrig || pdOnlyCon);

            if (notMissile && posCheck) {

                weapon.ensureClonedSpec(); {
                    weapon.getSpec().getAIHints().add(WeaponAPI.AIHints.PD);
                    weapon.getSpec().getAIHints().remove(WeaponAPI.AIHints.PD_ALSO);
                    weapon.getSpec().getAIHints().remove(WeaponAPI.AIHints.PD_ONLY);
                    weapon.getSpec().getAIHints().remove(WeaponAPI.AIHints.ANTI_FTR);
                    weapon.getSpec().addTag("pd_up");
                }
            }
        }

It seems to do what I want it to do; setting the PD tag on any weapon that has the PD_ALSO, PD_ONLY or ANTI_FTR whilst removing these tags and as soon as the hullmod is removed it reverts back to normal, can anyone spot any potentially disastrous issues in the above code?

This looks good to me! Nice!

(*not to say that I might not be missing something looking it over)

[Ruddygreat]

Just wondering, would you be willing to say where / how the little armour grid readout in the bottom left of the UI is rendered?
Asking in particular because I've made a little thing that renders the player's (and their target's) armour grid over the ships & I've never been entirely happy with the way it's just a square (even though it's technically accurate for the full grid), I'll put an example screenshot below.

[Alex]

IIRC it uses the ship sprite as a stencil to only render the grid that overlaps the sprite, if that's what you're asking. As in, using GL_STENCIL_TEST etc.

[Ruddygreat]

huh, will need to look into that more, I've done some messing with the stencil test but not much, ty!

[bananana]

is it possible to move individual barrel of a weapon via script?
like when it fires in alternating mode and barrels recoil one by one
but without firing, just move it directly via everyframe script?

[jujuteux]

What application do you use to make your .bin files for musics?
i've been losing my mind trying to find one that isn't long since dead, doesn't work or even supports .bin files
i even just tried opening a .bin file, putting the .ogg files in there and saving but that doesn't work either for starsector

i'm making a hullmod that makes the game play a music during combat but it doesn't work except for playUISound, which won't pause when the game is paused

here's an excerpt of code:

Code

    boolean ranOnce = false;
    boolean startnext = false;
    float fastcounter = 0;
    List<Beat> beatList; //timecode, size

    @Override
    public void advanceInCombat(ShipAPI ship, float amount) {
        Global.getLogger(this.getClass()).info("corburn spam");
        Global.getSoundPlayer().playSound("system_corrupt_burn_drive_activate", 1f, 1f, ship.getLocation(), ship.getVelocity());
        if(Global.getCombatEngine().getTotalElapsedTime(false) < 5f){
            return;
        }
        if(startnext){//runs once, starts at false until ranOnce check ran
            Global.setSoundPlayer(Global.getSoundPlayer());
            Global.getLogger(this.getClass()).info("cara2");
            Global.getSoundPlayer().playSound("caramelldansen", 1f, 1f, ship.getLocation(), ship.getVelocity());
            Global.getSoundPlayer().pauseMusic();
            startnext = false;

        }
        if(!ranOnce){//runs once, starts at false
            Global.getLogger(this.getClass()).info("cara1");
            Global.getSoundPlayer().playSound("caramelldansen", 1f, 1f, ship.getLocation(), ship.getVelocity());
            ranOnce = true;
            startnext = true;
        }

        startCounter += amount;

        if(isFuntime(startCounter)){
            counter += amount;

            if(counter>0.4f){
                counter -= 0.4f;
                Global.getLogger(this.getClass()).info("corrburn loop");
                Global.getSoundPlayer().playSound("system_corrupt_burn_drive_activate", 1f, 1f, ship.getLocation(), ship.getVelocity());

                ship.getSpriteAPI().setColor(Color.getHSBColor((float) Math.random(), 1f, 1f));

                createRipple(ship, 1f);

            }
        }

for some unknown reason, the game won't play that first everyframe spam, the startnext check nor the ranOnce
but will happily run the "corrburn loop" done every 0.4s (no it's not a clipping issue i think, that sound is like 5s long)

here's what the log looks like (with some excerpts for ease of read

i thought it was the sound player wanting to get some air at first as the combat starts, so i gave it a 5s delay before starting, but it did precisely nothing extra, it's like the thread waits for the hullmod to play a sound to somehow wipe it off the face of the earth until it decides only the loop is allowed
(it does the same if i swap that other sound with the music)

Been mucking about with a timer script in java, but can't seem to get it to work when applying it to a hullmod. Has anyone had any luck in setting up a simple timer to pull a float from?

[Ruddygreat]

is there a reliable way to determine what fighters have been spawned through FighterLaunchBayAPI.setExtraDeployments() & which ones were just spawned normally?
I've tried checking the index of the fighters in the wing but that just updates automatically (and also currently launching / returning fighters don't get included in the list), so I'm kinda stumped

I'd use the vanilla intervalUtil class, with the min & max time set to the same value.
though you'll also encounter some wierd behaviour here since there's only once instance of every hullmod running at a time, the timer will advance faster the more ships have it

Vanilla implementations solve this by putting the interval into the ship's customData, though I generally prefer to use an advanceableListener attached to the ship (in applyAfterShipCreation) to entirely replace the hullmod's advance() method.

I don't think so, sorry! It's a single sprite and the game slices it up into pieces and moves them independently and none of that is exposed.

If you check fighter.getFighterTimeBeforeRefit() and it's not some astronomically high value chances are it's an extra deployment. Unless the system that spawned it gives those deployments an astronomically high uptime.

ty, that does work!
though that still doesn't count fighters that are in the launch / landing animation, guessing that's because they technically aren't part of the wing yet or somethng?
Specifically concerned with the launch / landing because I want to have a visual effect immediately apply to the additional fighters when they're launched (and an extra thing when they get recalled)
(also also, would there be a way to have them all immediately launch, instead of the slight delay that setFastReplacements still incurs?)

[Lukas04]

How would you cast the return value from "getSavedOptionList" in OptionsPanelAPI in to a non obfuscated equivelance?
I only found the "Option" (from com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.rules) class but that doesnt seem to be connected to the returned value.

The launched ones should be part of the wing; returning fighters stop being part of the wing when they start to return, i.e. well before the landing animation.

I don't think there's any way to have them all launch right away.

There's com.fs.starfarer.ui.newui.OptionPanel.Option

What're you trying to do, exactly? Perhaps I can extend the API to make it possible in a more straightforward way.

We were looking in to if it would be possible to add "pages" to the dialog options in market screens, as different mods tend to add so many that it runs out of space, so the idea was to get the market dialog through the campaign ui, copy all options, and paste them across different pages if there are enough.

Il look in to what you mentioned.

(Small context note - the fact that the options are "overflowing" on the base market menu is one of the most common complaints I've seen in recent months, Lukas has been discussing how to fix it, and adding "pages" that can be toggled with a "Next Page" dialogue option was the most realistic approach we landed on.)
