[MOD] Upgrade All Button

lenjoj · Post by **lenjoj** » Sat, 25. Jun 16, 01:36

At mid-to-end game, I had multiple shipyards cranking out capital ships and I find myself doing the same thing over and over: Maxing Turrets...

Not sure why this was not part of the base game. This mod adds in the "Upgrade All" button to that screen (hotkey 2)

v1.01 - Extend the functionality to Station turret building/upgrades.

Well, as soon as I'm back to XR, this will become part of my "must have" mods.

Thank you for that!

Does it also work for station building?

Thank you lenjoj

About time this was done i've asked about something like this well over a year ago wasting all that time to go through each item to upgrade it but requests were turned down saying it could not be done.

I'm glad that you lenjoj notice this boring upgrade manu method too and mad this mod showing the dev's it can be done thank you.

Any chance of putting this mod on steam workshop to get auto updates please.

i wonder who said that... also i read somewhere that you used my logo mod, which abuses the upgrade system in such a way that Ships which can have Logos will always be built fully equipped => the choice for Upgrades is empty.. and this Mod has been out for about 2 Years by now if i am not mistaken.

Hi Uni there was no reply to this idea but the it can be done quote i think was from another post on something about stations i placed the same request to that modder.

I think we are both wrong one year ago sorry.

It must be present by default in the game. Why do developers have missed such a magnificent button.

Devs are actually missing a lot of things added by modders. I don't really underdtand why they don't improve and integrate some of them, self-esteem or too much work ?

I think it will be a variant of "too much work" along the lines of, it being difficult/time-consuming to identify and safely incorporate mod features that will work in all sandbox contexts and fit with their plans, and at the same time as working on their other plans.

Quite a few player mod/concepts have entered the game though.

The following list of such things probably isn't complete since I only started compiling it when v3.60 was out. So I expect I will have missed some things out.

Hey! I just tried this mod, because the feature it provides is just perfect!
However: it is broken on Linux.

When I just now tried to extend my station, the Architect conversation hangs when it should show the upgrade menu. The only way to exit is to reload the UI (esc and delete key don't respond)
Uninstalling the mod fixed the Architect the next time I speak to her.

There are some trivial steps to make your mod Mac/Linux compatible, I've documented them here:
[PSA] Steps to make your mod work on Linux+Mac
TL;DR: on Linux/Mac filenames are CaSe SeNsItIvE, so more strict than on Windows. Renaming the references in the XML files fixes the mod.

I'd be very happy if you could fix the mod

(In 400+ hours of XR, I have not built/bought a single not-fully-upgraded ship or station)

OK, I've tried it myself, and the ONLY change required for Mac/Linux compatibility is:

rename "ui/menu_upgradeAll.lua" -> "ui/menu_upgradeall.lua" (small 'a' in 'all')
