[script/mod] ImprovedRaces R15.31 (24.04.2012)

[Jack08]

Well, interesting results. I killed all remaining RRF global scripts and constructors seem to be working again. The Boron took Preacher's Refuge and the Paranids took Empire's Edge back. Strangely, the few remaining RRF ships crash the game when I try to destroy them, but I doubt they'll do much harm just sitting there.

Now, I linked up Legend's Home to my hub (my OTAS shipyard is slightly modified to carry all of the non-vanilla OTAS ships. The Venti can mount TEN forward MDs. I plan to thoroughly abuse this...). Somehow the Argon managed to get an assault fleet from Legend's Home to arrive in Cloudbase SW at the same time as another assault fleet from Cloudbase SE, so I'm going to go watch the carnage.

$RFF.Ship -> Put into enviroment of $null
this way, nothing wil ever be able to attack them causing it to crash the game
that is, if this script works without crashing the game lol

but BE CAREFULL, if you accidently jump your own ship to null space.... lets put it this ways... Save First... lol

yes pg and yaki work with no problems

No, PG has some issues with SRM
Not sure what exactly but we managed to isolate it to either the trails pack or the extra ships but something cause game crashes when used with IR and SRM together with PG

strange ive run pg and yaki fore the past 2 weeks with ir srm and trails pack and heavily modded game with now problems ,u must place catt datts in right possision,ok

My mod files are orderd correctly
Its not a problem everyone expriences, it may have even gone away by now... i havent tested lately

[TrixX]

If PG runs all well and good, if it doesn't then no problem.

I don't use a trails mod anyway (what's the point...) especially as they mess with Scene files and I mess with them myself...

Yes, Reinstall

Always reinstall when updating to a new IR version - it refreshes the running scripts in the savegame to insure that nothing is running old version / old signals

[Chestburster2]

Mh, i'm getting some debug-messages with the latest DL and a fresh start. Something like
|Kha'ak Sector XXX| Kha'ak Disruptor - c1
Debug is off so i think it shouldn't be there.

[djrygar]

argh. that's leftover message from debugging... re-download 16

Yes - but they don't explicitly target the player... if your sector is on the enemy's front lines, it will get attacked

No

[TrixX]

That would need them to be their own race for each family. Not easy as far as I can see.

Jack is there a way to increase the number of races ingame?

This is far beyond my expertise, i know you can create corporations, but as to races - no idea

[TrixX]

Corporations are considered races for all intents and purposes, but there is a 19 race limit as far as the editor goes. I was wondering if this is a hard limit or whether it could be enlarged. If so it would be awesome to have all the Split Families, the two main Paranid Factions etc...

Not to mention the ability to have another 10 or so corporations fighting for mining rights...

Editor? witch editor... i couldn't find races in X3 Edit. 2

[TrixX]

Open a Ship to set race and it says the race name. This refers to a table elsewhere, click the show raw data tick box and you'll get the race number. I believe from a bit of searching that 19 are mostly used, with Phanon Corp by Litcube using the Race 1 slot. I don't know if any more are defined past the current 19. Just wondering if we could define more races
