When I call addPlugin to add a TestPlugin object, and then call removePlugin, do the parameters of removePlugin need to be the same TestPlugin object, or do I need to create a TestPlugin object?
To put it another way, does CombatEngineAPI allow for multiple objects of the same kind of plugin to exist, or are addPlugin and removePlugin something like singleton (possibly using instanceof to make sure there is only one object of the same kind of plugin)?

yeah, multiple plugins of the same type can be attached to the combat engine; removePlugin takes the specific plugin object that you want to remove as its param

I've used replace function to change the Persean League faction doctrine in the most absolute way possible.

And removed all variant overrides to prevent the existence of DEM dedicated variants with the obvious exception of Pegasus one. And then just wanted to use weapon prioritising to uniquify the Persean League (less work that way when reworking variants).

And yet I'm still seeing DEM variants in the game...

What am I doing wrong?

second question:
does increasing the PTS values of civilian ships decrease the overall amount of them appearing in various fleets or is there some other stat responsible for that?

[Alex]

I had to do my own colony interaction listener and just modify your implementation of transferring marines to work for local resource submarket. Everything works as intended now. Thank you.

Nice, congratulations!

What am I doing wrong?

Did you make a new campaign?

What's PTS?

[Killer of Fate]

no... I guess I should... (okay, I checked... It works)

What's PTS?

fleet pts? The fleet building stat I assume?

Ah! Yeah, increasing their fleet points value would reduce the number of civ ships that show up in fleets, I believe.

question
i am trying to use Dmod overlay for some uuuh... unintended purposes
but apparently dmod overlay is randomly rotated every time it is applied
is it at all possible to make it not randomly rotated, i.e. to be always parallel to the ship sprite?

When using engine.applyDamage, is the damage total modified by the type of surface it impacts? For example if I applied 100 kinetic damage to shields will it actually be the equivalent of 200 damage, or will it register as 100 damage of the kinetic type?

So this was my first attempt (sbgrMult defaults to 30), but it's not working.

Code: java

        CargoAPI result = performRaid(random, (temp.raidMult));
        CargoAPI yunru_temp;
        if (sbgrMult > 1) {
            for (int i = 1; i < sbgrMult; i++) {
                yunru_temp = performRaid(random, (temp.raidMult));
                result.addAll(yunru_temp);
            }
        }

I also tried:

Code: java

float lootMult = sbgrMult * (1f + leftoverRE / Math.max(RE_PER_MARINE_TOKEN, raidEffectiveness));

To no avail.

I think my approach might be entirely wrong?
I basically duplicated MarketCMD.java and hoped that by having it in the same location in my mod's jar it would overwrite the vanilla one. Of course, if that isn't happening (because the vanilla one is already compiled for instance) then it'd explain perfectly why I see no change.

[Killer of Fate]

Ah! Yeah, increasing their fleet points value would reduce the number of civ ships that show up in fleets, I believe.

ok, thanks for info... Btw, if I don't respond with a thank you, don't think I'm not grateful... I just... I just don't want to bother you.

Oh, neat! Not currently possible, but - added these to ShipAPI just now:
float getdHullOverlayAngleOffset();
void setdHullOverlayAngleOffset(float dHullOverlayAngleOffset);

Yes! This is easily testable

Ah, yeah, that's not going to work. You'd need to have a differently named command (MarketCMD2 or whatever), make sure it's compiled, and then call it from rules.csv, replacing any vanilla rules that do that. This is very likely to be VERY incompatible with other mods than tweak market interactions in any sort of related way.

*thumbs up* Glad to help - and, probably a good call to keep this thread on point!

glad to hear that, thank you
shelving that whole idea for later then

The order in which commands are processed in the same frame:
1. receive commands from the player
2. receive commands from AIPlugin
3. the player's ship processes commands from step 1 in advance()
4. all entities process commands from step 2 and step 5 in their respective advance()
5. receive commands from subclasses of BaseEveryFrameCombatPlugin

Can see the effect of step 2 commands in the current frame.
Can't see the effect of commands from step 5 in the current frame, but the commands are queued immediately.
Is there something wrong with this sequence? Am I missing any important steps? Are there more subdivided steps?

[Alex]

This sounds right, though I have to be honest, I did not dig into it and it's not something that's permanently at the top of my mind - usually it's not something I need to think about because things "just work", if that makes sense.

One thing that throws a wrench into this is fast-time - when non-player ships have their time sped up (e.g. phase cloak), steps 2 and 4 will happen multiple times per frame for those ships.

[Audax]

Anyway to get a selected ship variant in the refit screen?

[Alex]

I don't think so, but: from where in the code?
