I would love to be able to edit the NPC faction relations on the custom game starts as well. The deadair version is more of a random booster to relations with no control. I would in the meantime use something like the FOCW war mod, not the corp one. You can set up faction relations for everyone in the config.xml. It also allows you to tweak their military strengths but you could always leave that vanilla and just alter the relations. Blackrain mod if I recall. Well done at that. I've used it plenty of times to give Xenons more of a boost or certain factions that generally get wiped out in the first 10-50 hours. I like the deadair mods but the relations portion is kind of wonky on 4.2. It works but it'll conflict with player relations set by the custom starts as well.Halpog wrote: ↑Thu, 30.

we can only change the relation for player and the factions.... not factions for factions

Re: [MOD]DeadAir Mods pt2
There was a good faction relation changing mod from mewosmith called illuminati iirc that was a simple ai:ai relation changing mod (while mine is designed more as a diplomacy tool because of the restrictions I put in place ex can't buy a relation raise higher than the faction likes you)Baconnaise wrote: ↑Fri, 31.

If you could expand on the custom start thing it may come in handy for me soon^tm
Re: [MOD]DeadAir Mods pt2
In my corporations mod, I included one of Deadair's scripts (which I edited a bit) to let you alter the relations in game for individual factions and this also includes all the corporations. You talk to their representative and see what the relations are and then if you have a good relation with the faction you can tell them to lower their relations with another faction (without paying) and you can also increase relations with that faction and another by paying money. You can talk to one of your own managers to do the same for your factionBaconnaise wrote: ↑Fri, 31.

Re: [MOD]DeadAir Mods pt2
That would be good news then, the game really needs some attention on the AI side of things. Especially when it comes to ship combat, carrier combat, etc.
Re: [MOD]DeadAir Mods pt2
before the customagamestart option came out from egososft itself.
there was a mod called customgamestart.at this mod u could at the faktion relation page ( where u set your relations to ai faktions ) just klick on your name, and choose for example argon fed. and than choose the fakrion relation to other faktions, totaly same like for the player vs AI .. just for argon, or any other faktion.
when the customgame start rleased from egosoft, this option was gone ...
so i guess it is still there, but no idea how to enable it.because that woule be epic to get this option back.
so far there is nothing that comes close to this . atm the best thing ive found so far in this case is the "diplomacy" part in deadair mods

Re: [MOD]DeadAir Mods pt2
It's funny because EGO incorporates certain mods into the base game and usually never fully implements everything. XR had a mod where you comm everything without doing the station walk. They incorporated it into the game which was great but didn't fully add that feature so it wasn't nearly as good as the actual mod. Mod author stopped updating it when that happened so we were stuck with a subpar vanilla version. People still needed yet another mod to expand upon what was finally part of the game yet again. Quirks and features sometimes with EGO.Halpog wrote: ↑Mon, 3. Jan 22, 20:59before the customagamestart option came out from egososft itself.

Re: [MOD]DeadAir Mods pt2
Welp, once again after a long hiatus...I'm back.
DeadAirAITweaks
v1.04
Replaced most skill checks with equivalent of 4+ star or actual pilot skill if higher, reduced aiming tolerance (more accurate fire), added docked check to combat script to prevent occasional soft-lock, ships launch more of their drones and faster, fighters will gain distance after attack run based on their combat range, ships oos combat is based more on their actual operational turrets, stations will launch drones at more consistent ranges, ships will use missile countermeasures more often, ships will fire missiles more often, ships will use travel drive much more often to reposition during fighting, police will occasionally detect pirates using cover of the same faction, lockboxes are less skill dependant for AI, pirates are more likely to be greedy when accepting dropped cargo from a victim.
v1.03
Updated for X4v4.2. Increased max distance on boost flee script, updated gate/generic scripts, improved vanilla explore behavior and removed inability of police to check a pirate posing as same faction. Experience gains will now be rather quick up to 3 stars for individuals and 2 stars for their crew, it will still be increased for higher stars after 3 but not as quickly.

Re: [MOD]DeadAir Mods pt2
Hey Deadair, there appears to be something in your new upload of deadairaitweaks which is causing the game to freeze. I have no idea what it could be, but when adding it to my active game, the game freezes every time. Remove it, and no freeze, It has to be one of the aiscripts. Now, I don't know if it is because it is running on so many ships at once or if there is some error somewhere. I didn't look through the scripts much, but I will try to narrow it down if I can.
Edit -- It might be a conflict with something I did, bleh, I will let you know if I figure it out. It might be because I also edited order.move.recon in some of the same spots.

Re: [MOD]DeadAir Mods pt2
I did manage to soft lock my game with one of the combat scripts (a docked ship tried moving away from enemy causing 1.7 million entries in less than a second) but I added something to prevent and was never able to reproduce. If you happen to find which script, I'll be glad to look into it.BlackRain wrote: ↑Thu, 13.

Re: [MOD]DeadAir Mods pt2
It is definitely something in order.move.recon which is causing it. Although I removed the parts that conflicted, it was still doing it. Might be in the way I did it though.DeadAirRT wrote: ↑Thu, 13.

Re: [MOD]DeadAir Mods pt2
Did your changes add or remove a blocking action? That's usually the issue with AI script changes. All of my adjustments in recon are just numbers adjustments so they shouldn't be able to cause serious issues.
There is a fix I can make for you using a patch to reset the order if necessary.
Re: [MOD]DeadAir Mods pt2
No, it is fine, I can just combine everything into one file and it should work.DeadAirRT wrote: ↑Thu, 13. Jan 22, 20:14Did your changes add or remove a blocking action?

It causes a freeze for me as well, on starting a new game. Get's to 99% and locks up. My mod list is as long as my arm, but they've all played well together till now, heh.BlackRain wrote: ↑Thu, 13.

'Tis good to see you back on the modding scene again, however, DeadAir, your mods are pretty much standard for me when you are active!
