[MOD] Player Owned Ship Production

[Dr.Zou]

Thanks for the great work. I'm looking forward to this mod.

[Dr.Zou]

How is the status here?

[u571x15]

Oh nice!!!
Was curious about the build module tag in the build plan…but man I can't wait to build my fleet and rape the universe!
Thank you for the hard work

Hmm, I looked at that other thread, and about this part...

The problem with my player shipyards is the parameter "const char* licenceownerid" since the player does not have licenses. This causes the engine to spazz out and return random garbage from GetContainerBuilderMacros.

...can't you just define the licenses?

License definitions are in "libraries/factions.xml".

[aftokinito]

I already solved that, I'm literally playing with my own shipyards right now.
But it requires a lot of UI modifications that I cannot ship as an extension until they fix the _G being nil bug.

Also, the licenses are NOT defined in factions.xml, that's just fluff (names, descriptions, etc) for each faction. Licenses are hardcoded and the player does not have any.
I solved the problem by reimplementing all the logic the game uses to select what can you build where.

Woo! Time to bullrush the HQ missions again XD (Restarted with beta 1.32 as it fixed the NPC shipyards >.> )

By happenstance, was whatever they fixed with that also what allowed this mod to reach a stage you were happy to release? Or were they two separate occurrences?

[aftokinito]

They still haven't fixed the bug, I am just overwriting the Lua file from the base game by using subst cats/dats instead of doing it properly, which is nasty but I guess it will do for the moment.

Was kinda wondering what that sub_cat was in there.. Now I know I guess

So with your plan to make a blueprint for each ship, are there any plans to be able to reverse engineer your ships to get their blueprint? Or is that still a bit out of the accessible ballpark?

How can I build the Xenon i ship?

How can I build the Xenon i ship?

Xenon and Khaak ships are excluded from the license requirements since those factions do not have licenses.
You just have to build a capital shipyard (XL for the I) and supply the required wares to your station.

Reverse engineering is certainly something that's possible but it would require too much MD work considering Egosoft is releasing their version of this mod in vanilla next year.

[Dr.Zou]

I just had a crash when I wanted to scan the XL shipyard in Antigone Memorial.

I just had a crash when I wanted to scan the XL shipyard in Antigone Memorial.

Were you scanning by getting close to it or were you scanning a data leak?

[Dr.Zou]

I scanning a data leak

[Riipperino2K]

I don't see any data leak or scannable points on the modules at all.
However since im allied with Xenon i can build the I Battleship now which i couldn't do before i activated this mod.
Am i missing something here ?
Did all the research as well btw

[Eldiora]

Saw the blueprints buyable at the faction vendors too. You are awesome, thank you for this fantastic mod, now to just get my faction rep high enough to buy them.

I can confirm scanning works, i was at my last xl yard and got one xl blueprint.

[hkmist]

Modules scanning don't seem to work after 60+ try, i don't know if it is my own luck or i haven't install the mod right.

I see you mention we need to research Build Module tech before we can scan for a blueprint, so is it a new research have add to the research list?
I can't find anything new in the research list so is the mod need a new game start?

The Xenon I? In X4? Have you just made my day?
