[MOD] Capital Ship Bridge

[Peter Hull]

Ha Ha, i like the update, now I can get lost searching for my marine officer on caped ships

[Aken_Bosch]

Eh, I had the same thought after my latest capture, didn't notice some doors had turned green since last update

[squall_leonhart]

I have noticed that it in some cases or moving certain ways you can get stuck on railings, fall through the floor, etc.

In fact, while i was riding a titurel after being ejected from a super highway 60,000km away from the nearest system, entering the cabins just up from the docking bay, would cause me to fall through the floor.. once the titurel stopped moving this stopped occurring.

I think it's a vanilla issue with moving in general while the ship is boosting. Also noticed this problem when in the Skunk while the Skunk is attached to a capship that's boosting. Are collisions turned off while boosting?

[Nanook]

Would it be possible to get Ren to sit down in the central 'Admirals chair' on the bridge? I feel so odd just standing there while the captain is relaxing in his/her comfy chair.

[UniTrader]

if this part is still the same as a few months ago:
add this diff file as "Extensions\NanookAdmiralChair\Extensions\litauen_capital_ship_bridge\assets\interiors\rooms\capital_bridge1.xml" in your personal Extension*:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<diff>
  <replace sel='//connection[@name="Connection19"]/@tags' >part nocollision</replace>
</diff>

-> this should disable collisions for the central Chair i think this comes close enuough


*named it in this case NanookAdmiralChair - fell free to choose another Name yourself
and no need for a content.xml or other files, just create the Folder Structure and the xml file - unknown Extensions are enabled by default

[Nanook]

Thanks. I may have to give it a try. However, I was thinking more in terms of the chair animation like in the Skunk. Not asking for much, am I?

[Litauen]

"part nocollision" is already in the mod from long time ago when I added your 3 chairs, UniTrader

[UniTrader]

last time i checked it was not.. (the aforementoined few months ago), but maybe i grabbed a monday Version.. (didnt update since then)

[Sparky Sparkycorp]

When I approach the central chair from behind, I have to walk around it. I can jump on the seat part from the front though. Unless I am trying it the wrong way?

It's funny finding the Marine Officer having a rest on a bed after an Op and it's cool seeing the NPCs dotted around the place

[balogt]

I am fond of the back rooms and the sleeping quarters. one last cool room would be an aft viewing room (like the side ones) from the aft central door. This mod does a lot to increase the feel of the game.

Hello,

Need some help. I made a modification so it would be possible to put various (your hired) NPCs on Capital Ship Bridge.
They can stay on the ship and you can take back them later. Something like employee transit or temporary storage (like on the Skunk).
After re-landing on the Bridge you can find them somewhere around and talk to them.

I tested it as much as I could but I am not sure if I did not messed up anything with employee scripts.

If somebody is brave enough to test my changes on their backup files - I would be very grateful.

Do not want release it to the Steam for 6700+ subscribers and brake something.

For the brave ones:
1. Make your save backups
2. Unsubscribe from Capital Ship Bridge mod from the Steam
3. Put this instead: http://expirebox.com/download/87a53f253 ... 6bf1c.html
4. Test and let me know

P.S. NPC can be taken back by 'Come back on board' (Engineer) or 'Work somewhere else' (all others)

[w.evans]

Downloading now. Anything in particular you want to test for, or that I should look out for?

[w.evans]

Initial test:
1. Went in a Balor,
2. commed some crew (Captain, Engineer, Defence Officer, Manager, Pilot, and a Metallurgical Engineer) to move to the Balor,
3. undocked,
4. docked again,
5. looked for all of the crew that moved,
6. had some of them move back to the Skunk,
7. undocked,
8. commed the rest of the crew to move back to the Skunk.

Everything worked quite well except the Metallurgical Engineer didn't have an option to stay at the Balor (step 2)

Was particularly cool that the crew could be commed back to the Skunk, especially since it can be hard to find them when strapped for time now that the ship is so big inside, but the text when the crew on the Balor were commed was a bit confusing. It said "Work somewhere else" and telling them to do that made them come back to the Skunk.

[Solomon Short]

I apologise if this is rude, & I'm asking this way because I don't know if anyone else has the same desire for this alteration.

Whilst I do enjoy this mod, the only bit I'm really interested in is the actual bridge, & even the walk there is a little irritating, so I was wondering if someone could tell me how to edit the file so that's where Ren spawns? (if this has already been answered earlier, sorry again, but 33 pages is a chunk to through when you're not sure what search term to use).

[D.O.S.]

Hi just been testing you Beta Update With my Arawn

I found that every Captain you ask to stay on a ship with escorts get the escort list under him just like the Ships Captain
Heres a Pic https://www.dropbox.com/s/r1dbyc2xffo9c ... 0.jpg?dl=0

also found that you can not ask the MO Stay on the ship


Thanks for this function now i can have a supply of Pilots ready to capture all thoses fighters thats bail on me LOL

Also having Capital ship crews on demand will save a lot of hunting for good crews

will test with some specialists to see if they work

Edit

Found this Post http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... a1910e3ac8
on the Beta Forums Hope its not going to cause problems with this MOD

[D.O.S.]

Update
I have found that Architect's & Specialists Can not be put on Your Ships

Managers Can be put on ships

I have noticed a FPS drop with 25 Personel on ship & i dont think all the NPC are been shown ingame i.e. my Manager is nowhere to be seen but captains /Do / enginers & Pilots are all over the place

Edit: If my NPC Head count is correct i can only find 19 out of the 25 personel on the ship this includes the bridge crew

[w.evans]

Found my manager sitting in a room that looked like one of those offices in stations.

Found my manager sitting in a room that looked like one of those offices in stations.

Yep thats where i found mine i had to redock a few times before the manager appered but in each head count i could only find 19 NPC that i could interact with

[Miniding]

All the crew I left on a rahanas are sitting in the "rest-room" between the two "side view room"...

Very nice implement once again!!!!

Don't forget about french button (;-))

We can get them in and out remotly like in any other station/ship... That's very cool!!

Only crew left seem to be the specialists that can't be let on a ship for now but as I already told you, this is just a reminder



Thanks again for this wonderful and even more modd Litauen!!!!!!
