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

[Argonaught.]

edit:
anyone knows.. any pirate/argon/yaki ships that can install terran missiles?
if yes... here we have reason for yaki/argon factories producing terran goods...

Only Terran, Atf and Xenon can make use of terran missiles unfortunately.
They would need to be modded onto the other races ships in order to use them.

[Jack08]

show me your empire manager window

you probably not enabled taxes on factories
and probably youre loosing lots of notoriety because of that

Rygar... You have made a mistake with adding this penalty
You've added it to plugin.comm.calctax:

Problem 1:
If tax is disabled for this station, it wont even get passed line 11

Problem 2:
If it somehow manages to get passed line 11; your going to be nuking everyones rep majorly fast, as plugin.ir.comm.calctax is called from almost every script that is related to tax in any way

The Empire Overview Calls it, the Sector config calls it, the Improved Responses Calls it, - You cant put this here...

Move the code to "plugin.ir.comm.collect.tax" under subroutine "Sector.NonPlayer", this way its called only when taxes are collected, but remember that $Tax can be 0 even if tax is on, so make sure you also check notoriety here too


Also, Never add waits to any tax related scripts, it will mess up the empire overview

Edit:

Code: Select all

skip if $Tax.Enable 
  return 0
 

online 18-19 needs to be changed back to:

Code: Select all

if $Tax.Enable == null 
  return 0
end

It was like this for a critical reason that i cant remember (something to do with defaults and non saving settings)

[djrygar]

ouh, okay
will apply those and air 15.27 with atf fix

Argo.

yeah, SRM included, vanilla is forbidden here


I think there must be such ships, as those factories are being built with same pattern, meaning, logic that decides what type of factory chain is needed is making same decisions. and they build whole chains for those terran fabs. so thats not really a bug. Lots of digging ahead.

Maybe some ships unused in game, but existing in tships..


well... seems factory building without predefined race arrays is not really possible ;>

[Argonaught.]

I did a little search for you in Tships to see what other ships use Terran missiles and there was only 3:

Hyperion Vanguard - Wraith
Xperimental Shuttle - Poltergeist and Spectre
SS_SH_A_Hybrid - poltergeist and Spectre

that last ship had no name that I could find but the description for it is:

A prototype developed by the Argon Secret Service. It is a hybrid of Terran and Argon technology and although still in development, it is already very powerful.

So apart from those extra 3 ships then a moddified Tships would need to be done to enable terran missiles on some of the other race ships.

That last ship is the Aamon Prototype. It is an obtainable ship (M3) in SRM.

Does the "No Station Wrecks" addon work with Chaos Edition? Also, does it remove existing wrecks (stations that have been destroyed before the addon is installed).

Also, the download link for the addons appears to be broken.

[djrygar]

1 - yes, 2 - yes, 3 - fixed

[A5PECT]

Very nice, thank you.

Edit: I don't want to install the Gentle Sounds and Missile addons, so I removed the TMissiles file from types and the s folder before placing the archive into the game directory.

Is there anything else I need to remove? I'm not sure what to do with the mov folder, since I don't know what the files in there do.

[djrygar]

sounds are obviously 2 wav files

[A5PECT]

Oh, I know. I was just wondering what the file in mov folder does.

[Wolfie276]

Hmm. I've been using IR for quite a while.

Recently though, it started crashing when trying to clean universe, while removing Split ships. Debug mode gives me nothing out of the ordinary (except shipyards renamed to Debugging).

It happens around the same spots every time. When I first tried to clean yesterday it happened at checking ship 314, but today it happens when checking 1128.

If there's any further info required, then please ask for it.

ahhh this was the problem. Tanks ^^

seems you're lost with this one, no real cure with this kind of bug. it may or may not fix itself after reboot

[Wolfie276]

I assumed so. I am waiting for the ship to despawn by other means, if it ever will. Might use the Hot War editor to make everyone wipe out split.

[Osiris454]

Djrygar, if I wanted to increase the number of maximum invasions that could happen where would I do that? In which file I mean.

[Wolfie276]

Just read through the invasion manager script, and I did not see any max limit of invasions. My ingame observations supports this, as I have seen ongoing invasions rise as more sectors are taken. I only play on insane though.

I have C-knowledge, so these scripts are readable if anyone should ask. I didn't read the libraries or all the IR-scripts, so I do not have much knowledge of the internal IR workings.

Its not really that simple, significant changes had to be made within IR:CE to prevent the entire universe from being taken over by one race

Increasing the invasion count without these safeguards would result in alot of invasions from a single race and a few from the others

I have no idea what your trying to say - if your trying to say the invasion count is linked to the races sector count; your wrong

Please allow us to answer these type of questions instead of speculating, this way avoiding all confusion

I had a funny feeling it was that way. :/

.

no, you are just more often notified as you know more sectors and have better relations as game progresses

you may increase the number (look for condition $limiter<7, $limiter is a global array of currently active shipyards). As Jack said, it may lead to some awkward things, but also may not. Could be easier for you to just use IRCE if you really need more of those
