Is there any easy way to override one function from one of the mods?
Namely i want to mess with progress on Engineering Hub from Industrial Evolution
I've already found the function in the java file tried messing with it by adding it as part of separate mod to override it, but i have failed....
Any advices?

Hi,

I want to rebalance economy in my playthrough but found that I cannot change ship prices in those Bar events in bar_events.csv:

Code

bar event id,tags,freq,prob,min dur,max dur,min timeout,max timeout,min accepted timeout,max accepted timeout,plugin
hmdf,,10,1,30,40,15,20,60,90,com.fs.starfarer.api.impl.campaign.missions.HandMeDownFreighter
sShip,,10,1,30,40,15,20,60,90,com.fs.starfarer.api.impl.campaign.missions.SurplusShipHull
hijack,,10,1,30,40,15,20,60,90,com.fs.starfarer.api.impl.campaign.missions.HijackingMission

Is it possible to adjust those prices?

How can someone check if a built-in mod is s-modded? Apparently these don't count as Smod
of course i find the method after posting

Question - there are some older mods that I still like to use so I modify them myself. One of the thing I did was alter the hullmods for the new S-mod thing.

I edited both the java files of hullmods to the add the if (sMod) branch and the hullmods.cvs to add the SModDesc descriptions, but in-game no S-mod description show up, nor even the S-mod ui category. Am I missing something?

Hmm, nothing else comes to mind. Make sure the hullmod class is extending BaseHullMod - though if it wasn't, I think you'd have noticed due to other problems, so that's probably not it.

... are you testing this in the main menu? S-mod stuff only shows up in the campaign.

Fixed it.
I named the column SModDesc instead of sModDesc. Now it works! Thanks

The source is probably compiled into class files (in a jar) and the .java file is likely provided by the mod just for reference, so changing it wouldn't do anything. Basically: if you're not comfortable setting up a dev environment and compiling stuff, this is going to be tricky.

Each of these classes has a BASE_PRICE_MULT static member variable that you could adjust in your ModPlugin's onApplicationLoad() method.

Ah, that would do it.

Hello, I am trying to make a simple mod to faction military markets.

Specifically, I would like to add Diktat Lion Guard variant ships to Diktat Military markets.  Even better, if I can gate certain ships behind reputation. The idea is to make it exactly like buying XIV variants from the Hegemony from their military markets if you have enough reputation.

I have already figured out how to make it so that LG variants appear in general Diktat faction markets, but I want to make it so that the LG variants are ONLY sold in the military market (to the most loyal Diktat servants), not the general market.

How can I go about doing this?

[Alex]

It's not going to work *exactly* like it does for the Hegemony because the XIV ships are part of the standard Hegemony fleet and the military submarket automatically works off that.

For what you want, you could either implement your own version of the submarket plugin (and create a different submarket for it, and swap it in instead of the standard military one for the colonies you want). Or you could implement a SubmarketUpdateListener and do the work there.

Where do you set SubmarketUpdateListeners to listen? Was looking at that yesterday and didn't find it.

Thanks for the response.

So if I just added the Lion Guard ships to the normal Diktat fleets, would it behave the same as the XIV fleets? I notice for the XIV variants, they are typically found in good condition in the military market, locked behind rep, or more rarely you can find heavily d modded versions in the civilian market. Is that how it will work if I just add LG ships to the Diktat fleets?

Is there any way to influence the distance from its target at which a fleet does the "ORBIT_AGGRESSIVE" or "DEFEND_LOCATION" Fleet Assignment?

Is there a way to add factions that are part of a mod during an existing save without having to start a new game. One example being LOST SECTOR, that might not add everything during an existing playthrough but it does add the new faction that's part of the mod if you add the mod to an existing game?

[Alex]

Where do you set SubmarketUpdateListeners to listen? Was looking at that yesterday and didn't find it.

Global.getSector().getListenerManager().addListener() or something very similar. *Most* listeners (except for some older ones) go there. One way to check is look at the ListenerUtil class which has the code that invokes all the listeners, so you can see if it's grabbing stuff from ListenerManager (and if not, it's probably not present in ListenerUtil and is therefore an older/more specialized listener).

It should work the same way, yes.

Is there any way to influence the distance from its target at which a fleet does the "ORBIT_AGGRESSIVE" or "DEFEND_LOCATION" Fleet Assignment?

Checking - ORBIT_AGGRESSIVE, no. DEFEND_LOCATION: you can set MemFlags.FLEET_PATROL_DISTANCE in the fleet's memory.

That's mostly up to the mod to support or not; probably too involved for someone to just do without a pretty good understanding of how that specific mod works.

Is it possible to get the base module of a module in the refit screen?

The ShipAPI has getParentStation but for ShipVariantAPI it doesn't have that. I have data that needs a uniqueID to save and use to reference stuff but since modules generate a fake fleetmember I couldn't really use that and the next best thing was using the base module fleetmember to have a reference to its modules. any work around or solutions for this?

How would one go about/where should one look into API docs-wise for  the following task?

I've been fiddling a world script for a custom star system but I wanted to try and trigger the automated Market Conditions generator before adding my own ones and removing the ones I don't want for more variation. So for instance:

Code: java

PlanetAPI planet = system.addPlanet(blah);
//trigger Market Conditions autogenerator here
//if(planet.getMarket.<condition> is present) planet.getMarket().removeCondition(<condition>)
//repeat preceding line for all conditions that I want removed from planet
planet.getMarket().addCondition(<condition>);

Is there a way, aside from changing a missile's velocity, to minimize the "sway" of a homing missile? They tend to travel in a snaking s pattern to their target rather than constantly keep their nose pointed. I know some missiles like the Squall will pre-aim then travel in a straight line, but they don't exhibit homing ability aside from that initial sequence.
