[MOD] Human Resources - [DISCONTINUED]

[UniTrader]

Is this Mod still maintained? i want to request some changes for compatibility ^^

in fact your Mod overrides a small change of mine for starting my Scripts:
md/NPC_Staff.xml

Code: Select all

  <add sel="//cue[@name='DefaultComm']/actions/do_else">
    <do_if value="$actor.iscontrolentity and $actor.type == entitytype.manager">
      <add_player_choice text="'Convert to UT CAC Manager'" section="cStaff_UT_CAC_Manager" position="1"/>
    </do_if>
  </add>

i dont care where this Menu Item lands in the end because its one-time usage per Employee Manager only (they will use a completely diffrent Dialogue Tree after that)

Mod Folder is called
UTCommandAndControl
so you can use your usual method for confirming the mod is active

you can find the current Mod here: Not Another Trader - will use this Name until i have some basic Fleet Control included because atm the main Focus is Trading

I've been horribly distracted by Kerbal Space Program and a few other things for the last I'm-not-quite-sure-how-many-months-it's-been, sorry. >.<

The next "planned update" I'd been working on (more configurable menu options and a system for registering buttons externally) continues to have problems and I kind of got burned out for a bit.

In the meantime, the current version is long overdue for a refresher update. I'll take a look at that this week. Including the button is no problem.

10/11/15 Update: Version 1.4.0 for Rebirth 3.61

- HR is now fully updated for 3.61. (I hope.) I didn't manage to finish everything I wanted to done in time for this update (linux/mac compatibility and a trade que menu in particular), but what's here should be stable.

- Thanks to Fazer for help with German localization.

- I switched the new-ish ooz shipyard calls from the map or property labels over to HR's format. I've decided to leave the direct managers' shipyard calls in place because I like talking to them face-to-face, and it's more convenient that way.

- I'm not altogether happy with the way the labels look, tbh, and will be tweeking them a bit in the near future.

- HR will now detect and adapt it's menus to a few more mods:

• (HR v1.4.0) Buy Trade Subscription (or the "cheat" version) v1.02/1.03 by SilentStorm/XGamer
  - The shipyard option in the manager's dialog for NPC stations will remain hidden until station information has been purchased -- or the station fully scanned -- to allow room for Buy Trade Subscriptions buttons.
  - OOZ Shipyard calls are still possible through the map menu if the information has not yet been purchased.
• (HR v1.4.0) Not Another Trader / UT Command and Control v0.1 by UniTrader
  - The Convert to UT CAC Manager option will be available in the Employee Management submenu.
• (HR v1.4.0) Repack Construction Vessel v1.0.1 by mihaib
  - the Detach from Station menu option will be available in the architect's Equip or Detach Station submenu when construction is not in-process.

- Also on the mod compatibility profile front, I've decided that I'm not going to bother anymore with non-standard script mods that don't clearly identify themselves or their assets. It's been a massive time-sink, and I've got my own stuff I'd rather be working on if their own authors can't be bothered to add a few lines of script for the sake of compatibility.



- As I say that though, I've finished implementing a basic format in 1.4.0 that allows trading mods and the like to add buttons to HR's New Orders -> Extensions menu without any intervention from me if they're interested in doing so.

- The buttons themselves are on a cycling menu structure that can hypothetically handle any number of mods, though I doubt it will ever get that much of a workout. Only two button categories are available right now ("ships that can trade" and "all ships") but I could expand on that pretty easily if there's any interest.

- This project is, of course, heavily influenced by BerserkKnight's Universal Comms Menu -- which I'm a big fan of and still use for prototyping -- but uses a very different mechanism that I hope should be easier to use.

- I'll be kicking out documentation on this in another day or three. At the moment it's been a long weekend with this and I'd kind of like to kick around and just play for a bit.

Yes. Finally the wait is over, now I can test what I wanted without de-activating and activating mods. Cheers Vim

Chears! Sorry it was so long since you first requested the compatibility fix.


And... speaking of fixes.... It's already time for a bugfix update...


10/11/15 Update: Version 1.4.1 for Rebirth 3.61

- Fixed menu return behavior in shipyard menus accessed through map or property menu calls.

- Fixed money display in shipyard menus, and added commas to make it more readable.

- Fixed detection error for MJ's classic UFO mod.

- Fixed occasional broadcast filter errors that could occur when HR was used with experimental mods that remove Yisha from the Skunk.

- Did some general housekeeping and fat-trimming.

- Human Resources should now be compatible with Linux or Mac, I think, though I haven't had the opportunity to test it.

Also.. regarding the externally definable button thing I mentioned in my last post, I've decided to rearrange things a bit before documenting it formally. I'm the junk out of HR's management script, and I expect that names of a few cues and things might change a bit over the next few versions. I can be horribly X2 sagt Bussi auf Bauch like that.

If anyone happens to be curious about the method I have in mind, they can PM me and I'd be happy to talk about it. I just don't feel like putting anything "in print" until I feel the format will be reasonably stable.
