What is this?This is my personal fork of
Exerelin, given its own thread because I wanted to be able to maintain my own OP. It is essentially a reimplementation of Zaphide's project (and in fact uses it as a codebase), but updated for new Starsector versions. It is compatible with most faction mods.
How do I win the game?- Conquest victory: Your faction or alliance controls a simple majority of the total market size in the sector, or two-thirds of the heavy industries (not weighted by size).
- Diplomatic victory: You are friendly or better with every faction.
- Story victory: Complete the Galatia Academy quest.
Note that pirate-type factions (including Luddic Path) are not counted for victory conditions with default config settings.
How do I disable a vanilla faction from interacting with the invasions, diplomacy and such?Open its faction config in
data/config/exerelinFactionConfig and set the
playable tag to false.
How do I make my mod compatible with Nexerelin?There are a few things you need to do.
(note: add needed files and csv entries in your own mod, so you don't need a new Nexerelin release before your mod becomes Nexerelin compatible)
Spoiler
1) Stop it from crashingYour sector generation code should have something like this:
import exerelin.campaign.SectorManager;
/*[...]*/
public class MyModPlugin {
@Override
public void onNewGame()
{
boolean haveNexerelin = Global.getSettings().getModManager().isModEnabled("nexerelin");
if (!haveNexerelin || SectorManager.getManager().isCorvusMode())
new MySectorGen().generate(Global.getSector());
}
/*[...]*/
}
If you don't want to import Nexerelin as a library, you can check for random sector at the new game stage by checking if Corvus (or some other vanilla system/planet) exists.
Be careful with any code that targets a specific planet or star system by name! Make sure you disable it in non-Corvus mode, and don't assume a given planet will always belong to its original owner.
2) Add your faction to the listOpen
data/config/exerelinFactionConfig and make a .json file with the name of your faction. Actually, copypaste one of the existing ones, like Templars, because it’s faster that way.
Now open your new file and edit it. See
this page for details on the various tags and what they do.
Then make a copy of
data/config/exerelinFactionConfig/mod_factions.csv in your mod. Edit this copy to contain your faction(s) (and only yours; the other factions should remain in Nexerelin's master copy).
3) Non-random sector supportCopy
corvus_spawnpoints.csv in the same way and have the file contain appropriate entries for your faction. This tells Nexerelin where to spawn the player at start.
