[X3LU] Phanon Plus 4.04

Funny how my mods always ending up messing all the others. I think I have a gift.
But here's the problem: I have never experienced this myself. Cannot reproduce = cannot fix. I don't think it's the bounties ; only the player receives money.
EDIT: would be good to know if the same bug appears with vanilla Phanon.

well yes, but thats cheatingyou could also turn it off until your well established and then turn it on.
or setup a bunch of lasertowers at the sanctuary of darkness gate and lure ships to it.
i guess its just not for me to wage war vs cheating empire that has no real economy to back its firepower up
well it gets few trillion cash at game startSirrobert wrote:Isn't the whole point of Phanon that it DOES have to pay for it's warships? Does that change with phanon plus?
my raids at its stations, 4 destroyed + laser towers and tanking few thousands torps from m7m's didnt affect anything
surely i could packup and move to unk. alpha and get protection from xenon/ocv but for how many days b4 overrun by ocv?

Ummm... in what part of my post did I dismiss anyone's bugs.

I've been playing a clean start with LU v1.7 with Phanon plus 4.4 and got up to phanon level 7 (I think) when it bugged out on me...
I defeated the level by destroying ships and stations until Syndex? went bankrupt while I was hammering on their HQ.
At this point the cleanup bugged out and left several stations, I waited and waited and never got the completion message with reward.
I turned off the Phanon script in the AI settings, reint the scripts, saved and reloaded and nothing happened... I waited and still nothing.
I reinstalled the vanilla scripts, reinit/save/reloaded and presto!! the wipe sound effect was heard then the reward message soon followed.
So in conclusion, I think there is a bug in the Phanon Plus cleanup script.
Other wise this is a fun script... however it is a bit overpowering in the first few levels, I had to turn it off until after about 2 game days.

If you check the global scripts list you should see al.Phanon.Tick running (when it seems stuck and not doing anything). If I'm right, that means you experienced the Phanon Plus got stuck bug that I encountered and reported in here already. If so, the Phanon may have seemed alive until you took their HQ but it's possible the main logic hanged some time ago, as most of the ships have their own separate logic and can function autonomously without having the Tick script work all the time.

Where is the global script list that you are talking about? Is it under Global Commands -> Script Editor -> Global Script Tasks (which is below Script Debugger Menu and above Help)? I see "al.Phanon.Main: null" in there.
I haven't been getting regular Phanon messages anymore for about 13 hours. So I was wondering if it is still running. I think it crashed because I killed all its TS ships and it is not making any new ones.
How do I restart Phanon? Do I need to restart the game?

Yeah, you shouldn't see it there, sounds like it's stuck.Xo3oToC wrote:Where is the global script list that you are talking about? Is it under Global Commands -> Script Editor -> Global Script Tasks (which is below Script Debugger Menu and above Help)? I see "al.Phanon.Main: null" in there.
I think you can kill that script (press Backspace while you have selected it) but it will likely leave the Phanon in a weird state. The cleanest mechanism is to do an E/I. Phanon will then be starting with a lot of resources (they get an initial boost every time you restart them) but hey, that adds to the challenge.I haven't been getting regular Phanon messages anymore for about 13 hours.

Since you already ran into this Phanon Plus bug and now likely have to E/I, I recommend that you simply re-install your LU so you have vanilla Phanon instead of Phanon Plus then perform the Import into this installation and so not risk running into this bug again but of course that's up to you.

Good advice but I am not really ready to give up on Phanon Plus. I am going to play with it a little bit to see if I can catch the error. I think it's the same error I experienced years ago with the original Phanon. Not being able to figure out why just bugs hell out of me.memeics wrote:Yeah, you shouldn't see it there, sounds like it's stuck.Xo3oToC wrote:Where is the global script list that you are talking about?

al.Phanon.Tick is not currently running. Global variable PhanonCorp.CheckTickerRunning is set to 1, so al.Phanon.Tick is exiting at AreweRunningAlready check. I believe the script crash because there are no TS (trader, miner, station agent) left. When I set PhanonCorp.CheckTickerRunning to 0, the script runs again and purchased 3 TS. I added bunch of debugging codes so maybe I'll figure out why it crash next time when it happens.
