[Mods] First Person Gameplay Overhaul

[UniTrader]

and the next part of my First Person Improvement Series

UTSkillWhatever - basically its a Skill reveal - but you have to work for it (better Names welcome - i couldnt think of one )

It makes use of the Skills the Player has (like all other Entities) - you start with 0 Skill Points in every aspect and will improve them with certain Interactions:
=> Hiring someone (1 Skill point more)
=> Smalltalk with Hireable NPCs (depending how you perform up to 3 more - 1 for regular smalltalk without mistakes, 1 for hard smalltalk without mistakes and 1 for very good hard smalltalk with a slight mistake)
-> more suggestions welcome
the Skill which is improved depends on the NPC you interacted with - it will always be one of his relevant Skills
When you gained a Star your current Skills will be displayed in the Info Window on the top right
Your Total Skill is currently capped at 25 Stars - you cannt get more, but you can re-distribute them when you reached this cap by performing the aforementioned actions (for every Star gained another will be lost )

when your Skill is the same or higher than the potential employees (only the relevant ones) you will know his Skills immediately when you speak to him personally. More Ideas what could be done with this welcome

this Mod does not require any Text Files or Translations - all Text is taken from the Game itself (except for the content.xml)

How hard would be to implement a voice command control to rebirth?

Just to give commands to captains and so...

[UniTrader]

very. since there is no way to grab external events or (ab)use hotkeys since we can currently only steal existing ones, not define our own.. you could use a program which simulates keypresses from voice input to activate the actions though (for my mod this would be eight: Sector Map [,]; choices [1]-[6] and Abort [Esc] )

I clicked the github link and once there I cant find any buttons to download the mod...is there something I need to do?

[UniTrader]

its on the right side at the bottom (download zip) maybe i should add this to he 1st post ...

[Informer]

Great mods, I do use them in my new game. I only still have figure out the bridge commands. But I am still trying

Thanks for the work.

[UniTrader]

just (try to) open the Sector Map when on board of one of your Capships the rest is obvious i think

Thanks for the tip m8. I did read your mod explanation too fast, so i did miss it. works know.

For SizeWhatever, how about the name "Estimate Skills", and add the possibility of misjudging by 1 star in either direction depending on the ratio of player to NPC skill?

[UniTrader]

possible, but it would involve changing the actual skills since i can set them to either known or not known, there is no diffrent set of skills for display only.. but would be worth to add, so i will keep it in mind

[strude]

Ah ok. I assumed you were retrieving the values to display. Perhaps the name could be "Evaluate Skills" if it's always going to be accurate.

And one more is finished because i just found a little trick:

Faster Dialogue

Download: github - latest (Download ZIP on the right)

This Mod makes Dialogue menu Navigation faster by displaying the next dialoge choices immediately instead of waiting for the Characters finishing talking.
Note that i have not touched the Plot Dialogue, because these are very extensive and you usually only hear them once - oppsed to the regular Gameplay Dialogue.

have fun hammering in Commands like in X3 because the menu Delay should be mostly gone with that but dont break your Keyboards ^^

this Mod does not require any Text Files or Translations - all Text is taken from the Game itself (except for the content.xml)

feedback, suggestions and encouragements as usual welcome

Finally!

(and hopefully it gets borrowed for next patch )

Awesome! Thanks!

small update for the Bridge Commands based based on this Topic:

tried to hook me into that targeting, but the event is sadly never triggered, so this point is moot. But i liked the idea so i hooked/hacked myself into the Guidiance Menu instead so if you want to Target a Ship via the Map select it, click [Details] and click [Plot Course] - the rest should be obvious

@Unitrader

Hi, I'm trying this mod and I'm having two issues: (I've deleted assets folder to try it with capital bridge mod)

1-When bridge apperars, player falls down trough floor, but then suddenly recovers position and all goes fine

2-The function "Fly in this direction" does nothing

Any ideas?

Thanks

EDIT_Option 1 is happen without your mod too, so sorry and forget

[UniTrader]

when you select "fly in this direction" do you get a list of possible Distances? (should be <set_value name="$DistanceList" exact="[-5km,5km,15km,50km,150km,500km]"/> )
if yes did you select any of them?

[antoniut]

Sure, but nothing happens, just the last vanilla command given, in this case "wait"

I ask myself , have to wait some seconds for the command to work or so?
I've waited 20 sec. or so...

[UniTrader]

nope, should start immediately.. maybe EGO changed something where i hook into the player.default.. checking..

[antoniut]

1 more thing Unitrader the issue 1 before posted it happens, it was a save with your mod installed but disconnected, so a save before install your mod doesn't happen the issue (my god, sorry for my english )
