Ah - this is working as intended, yeah. removeEntity() is a low-level method and just removes an entity from the playing field. Anything else that you also want to happen needs to be done directly (and may not have the API exposed, depending on what it is.)

yeah, it doesn't look like anything related to that is exposed to the API (the closest thing sounds like CombatFleetManagerAPI.removeFromReserves(), but that doesn't do it), would it be possible to have those methods get exposed to the API?
Though it's not a *huge* deal, just multiplying the ship's DP by 0 will "fix" the main issue.

1. Is adding more personalities through personalities.csv actually supported, i havent seen a mod add custom personalities with it so im wondering if there is some hurdle there.
2. Is the bravery stat used for anything? Since it appears to be the same for all personalities.

Ok, so not even the Width of the beam?

Correct, that's purely visual.

I'll keep it in mind!

1. No; there are hardcoded checks in too many places.
2. It has some effect, I believe, but it'd probably mostly be subtle. To do with how it evaluates some aspects of some threats, but far from comprehensive and not officially supported.

Hi I am trying to imitate UI similar to one below, mainly i want to replicate that transparent background

I am using such code to initalize UI

Code

public class AoTDColonyEventOutcomeDelegate  implements CustomVisualDialogDelegate {
    protected DialogCallbacks callbacks;
    protected AoTDColonyEventOutcomeUI plugin;
    protected InteractionDialogAPI dialog;

    public AoTDColonyEventOutcomeDelegate(AoTDColonyEventOutcomeUI panel , InteractionDialogAPI dialog){
        this.plugin = panel;
        this.dialog = dialog;
    }
    @Override
    public void init(CustomPanelAPI panel, DialogCallbacks callbacks) {
        this.callbacks = callbacks;

        plugin.init(panel, callbacks, dialog);
    }

    @Override

My problem is I can't get such same effect with transparent background as shown in image and instead got this

I am using such method because when I used class that implemented CustomDialogDelegate It's not possible to jump from one UI to another after confirm button is pressed.
Honestly now i don't know what to do

Hey, does anyone know how to change the base name of a planet with a code via the console command mod or in the code? I used a code posted elsewhere to spawn a couple planets, forgetting to change the name on the copied code. I didn't think it'd be a problem but now, when I colonize both planets, the game seems to think only one exists and puts the other on a permanent pause. I've tried looking through it in the save's xml file with Notepad++, but the best I can do is just replace a few names here and there, and that doesn't seem to be affecting anything. The help would be greatly appreciated.

 for (PlanetAPI planet : Global.getSector().getStarSystem("nameOfSystemWithPlanetsToRename").getPlanets()) {
            if(planet.getId().equals("wantedId")){
                planet.setName("Renamed Planet");
            }

Thank you so much! That seemed to do the trick. Both colonies showed up now and progressed normally.

I'm not sure. A dialog using CustomVisualDialogDelegate should have a partially transparent background.

But, this code looks dodgy:
dialog.setOpacity(1.85f);

Opacity should have a value between 0 and 1; I'm actually a bit surprised this doesn't cause a crash.

[TimeDiver]

How would someone go about removing / increasing the Burn 20 hard cap without resorting to mods like Sundog's Hyperdrive? Is it something that needs to be done via JavaScript, or is there a setting that I missed when searching in 'data\config\settings.json'?

That things with expermenting oppacity was my cry for help.
As problem is such, when I lower oppacity of dialog it does make it transparent, but not only background, UI also becomes transparent to the point when is not readable, and I wondered how could I replicate what was done with example UI I showed

This is actually hardcoded. Along with the UI bar only showing up to 20, though the numbers go up beyond that.

Hmm. Like I was saying, the default custom dialog should have some background transparency - the default amount - so this is all a bit confusing to me.

IIRC the control for how much to dim the background is not exposed for this, unfortunately.

ahh understandable, but gonna say that because of it I needed to rewrite UI and actually this made it better than worse.

That looks nice! Big fan of working illustrations into the UI, for sure.

Is it possible to implement a custom star/system/whatever via mods that's outside the Sector's boundaries? It wouldn't show on the map due to being out-of-bounds, for instance.

[Ruddygreat]

kinda vague question, but that's the deal with BALLISTIC_AS_BEAM projectiles?
this is specifically in relation to why changes to their velocity just don't work, though I would generally like to know more about how they work & when to use them over normal projectiles.
