hello once more all you kind people. i am hear with questions again
    1) is there a way to edit the 'hazard rating' of a 'market condition' conditionally? or to otherwise change the 'hazard' of a 'market condition' with code?
    2) is there a way to edit the code that runs when you click the 'hazard pay' button on the market screen?
    3) is there a way to edit the code that runs when you click the 'free port' button on the market screen?
    4) is there a way to change the text and descriptions for the 'free port' and 'hazard pay' buttons on the market screen? ether conditionally or overall?
thank you all again for reading and maybe answering my question. hope you all have a good day =)

Hi,

1) extremely simple: market.getHazard().modify...;
2) no (trust me, I really, really tried, but it's entirely private static methods)
3) no (freeport code is obfuscated)
4) no (most colony UI code is obfuscated)

Is there a way to get the entity that the player is hovering their mouse over in the campaign?
Specificly without it being a course target.

Doesn't look like it. Just added:
SectorAPI.getMousedOverEntity()

Boom! Campaign ability targeting has been added! (I kid, sortof)

I have a custom faction with custom music. The music does not play ingame. However, if I Alt + Tab or otherwise unfocus the game tab, the music does play. The music only doesn't play if the game window is in focus. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

For context, it used to work fine. I adjusted the music tracks in Audacity and now they do not play ingame, only tabbed out.

[Lukas04]

Actually unrelated to my previous question, how do you get the Mouse Position in Campaign Coordinates?
I want something to happen when the mouse intersects with the radius of a Ring Terrain.

Super weird! Do you have an older version of the track to try with? What you've described makes me wonder if the change to the track isn't just a red herring, and if the issue isn't some change that happened on your system, instead.

SectorAPI.getViewport().convertScreenXToWorldX() and convertScreenYToWorldY().

Edit: this may not work when UI scaling is set to anything other than 100% - it takes as input coordinates from mouse input events - InputEventAPI - not the raw mouse coordinate values. So if using raw mouse coordinates, you'd need to adjust them by the screen scale multiplier, which you can get from SettingsAPI.getScreenScaleMult().

How do I create a beam weapon that does not interact with fighters? In other words, I want it to pass over fighters and only affect ships.

[Alex]

In the .wpn file, set:
"collisionClass":"<class>",
"collisionClassByFighter":"<class>", # when *fired* by a fighter

Where <class> is one of:
HITS_SHIPS_AND_ASTEROIDS
HITS_SHIPS_ONLY_FF
HITS_SHIPS_ONLY_NO_FF

Whichever one of those is desired. "FF" means "friendly fire".

I'm trying to make a planet that receives only very little light from its local star; however, I can't seem to find a way to visually make the planet completely dark on the campaign layer. What would be the best method to go about this?

[Lukas04]

Anyway to make an icon appear on the Hyperspace-Starscape map without a system being in that location?

Hmm, I'm not sure that you can. Possibly calling SectorEntityToken.setLightSource() on it every frame might do the trick? But it also might not work since the game will be doing this too, using the primary star, so it depends on the order of these calls within the frame. I've added a few ways to override this a couple of weeks ago - MemFlags.LIGHT_SOURCE_OVERRIDE and MemFlags.LIGHT_SOURCE_COLOR_OVERRIDE - but these aren't in the currently-out version.

Anyway to make an icon appear on the Hyperspace-Starscape map without a system being in that location?

I don't think so, the only things that shows are 1) stars, 2) the faked up "nebulas" around the stars, and 3) slipstreams, in dev. Oh, and the constellation/other labels. Hmm. No way to piggyback on any of that comes to mind.

Not really a modding question but this kind of a request thread and it's related to modding, so...

Thoughts on adding RAM to the log file in this section?

Code

Starting Starsector 0.96a-RC10 launcher
Running in E:\Starsector\starsector-core
OS: Windows 8.1 6.3
Java version: 1.7.0_79 (64-bit)

The max JVM RAM is a useful thing to know when debugging modded saves. 2GB allocated + 30 mods enabled, hmmmmmm. It is often clear when something is a OOM crash because it says it, but not _always_ (and VRAM crashes don't have any crash message at all).

LazyWizard determines it like so:
https://github.com/LazyWizard/console-commands/blob/master/src/main/kotlin/org/lazywizard/console/ext/SystemInfoExtRAM.kt

GPU doesn't come up as much when troubleshooting (on the Discord anyway) and is more fiddly to get, but if it's a pain point: https://github.com/LazyWizard/console-commands/blob/master/src/main/kotlin/org/lazywizard/console/ext/SystemInfoExtGPU.kt

Also, shameless self-promotion for where I'd use one or both; my logfile viewer: https://chipper.pages.dev/

Is the raider behavior of pirates and luddic path hardcoded? How would I go about making a faction do raids on systems like pirates do?

Is the salvager behavior of independents hardcoded? How would I go about making a faction send out exploration fleets like independents do?
