Script & Mod Requests

[antoniut]

It would be posible to make a mod with new sandbox start, (new mod sectors welcome) where all factions in game, include player, will start from zero?

Well not absolutly from zero. Some money, a few empty ships, some builders, and maybe some basics stations for basic needs.

Real economy, and real needed ships building by NPC. Destructible stations?

Npc's AI will deal with all this? Doable mod?

Thanks

lol I think that would be called a rewrite of all the scripts in the game

Civilizing of Devries.

At game start Devries can be compared to the "old wild west."

However as time goes on and the player builds up a large set of stations, with patrolling vessels etc. Would this not effect the Reivers?

Over time would they not abandon their current stations and move away from this civilizing influence to more remote parts of the system?

So basically overtime due to player stations in adjacent zones, Reiver stations are abandoned, become destructible or are colonized by Canterrans.
Reiver spawning of hostiles decreases in frequency.

Does anyone know the exact .dds compression format and .gz compression format for textures? I add them but they simple don't show up. Like the game knows it is there but can't render it right. The tutoral helps me none.

Is it possible to remove tutorial tips appearing on screen? They are annoying especially for Long Range scanner. Every time I use it I have my screen filled with this tutorial for 10 seconds. Its a big obstacle and I am getting very angry. I know how to use it why they did it like this?

did you add your texture to the libraries/material_library.xml? with the ful patch uncluding Extensons/YourExtension?

easily, i think all of them are defined in the md/Notifications.xml - not exactly sure about this msg, but removing the @instantiate from the related <cue/> may solve this i think..

[Request]
S&M ships

-Brief
After burn fews money testing S/M against XL/L based in cost
I believe to balance this

Increase all hulls in 10x (maybe 20x)
Put Random Enginner inside each ship(like astromech by yorrick did)
Add jump drive ( most us use no fuell cell , if need add small cargo with enough to 500 cell)

or
Reduce Cost in 10x (maybex 20x)
Add jump drive ( most us use no fuell cell , if need add small cargo with enough to 500 cell)

And put steamworkshop or tell me where i can find hull values and costs

[Request]
Container / Shipwreck decay

I just look in cuspid splint and see at last 300? S/M figther and capships wreck i believe its cost perfomace and others things engine atm dont be good sustain for now(ARE OUR GARBAGE COLECTOR ship ego)

[Request]
Auto Name for ships based in list

[REQUEST]
- a MAX button in all transfer menues (e.g. for adding weapons in the station building screen)

- add ship types to ship information

- make ui smaller

- more crafting

[Exavier724]

Does anyone happen to have any chunks of code handy to delete/destroy objects that can be used as a cleanup script?

Specifically:
- Get list of Non-Player Ships in Cluster/Sector/Zone, Issue move.die or just detonate them so the Jobs will spawn new ones.
- Get list of Stations attached to npcbuildlocations nodes, hard delete the station, and free up the build location for a new station.

Trying to figure out the best way to do a hard reset of NPC Spawned assets in my Hiigaran Cluster so I can change the AI flow without requiring people to restart saved games. Switching out the code is easy, I am just not sure how to go about cleaning up the stuff the old code had spawned.

1. this should do the trick:
<find_ship name="$ship_list" multiple="true" space="$Cluster/Sector/Zone" />
just leave it as non-specific as possible/necesary

2. i would try the same as above for Stations with the buildspot as space.. or maybe with a <match_parent> resolving to the buildlocation.. and then just destroying it without wreck should resolve this (if there is a wreck the Object still exists and you can still get values from it if any other Variable points to it - the destroyed variable is cleared it seems. - but if you destroy without wreck/explosion the Object is simply removed from the Universe completely and you cannt get values from it anymore)

[Exavier724]

Thats what I was curious if someone had an example on. Its the specific code to properly "destroy" the stuff I find. I can't seem to find a simple example I can adapt as I am still learning this scripting lol

I'm better at reverse engineering code than writing it from scratch, though i am trying to learn this games scripts. Its rather different from code I have used in other games

[Phipsz]

<find_ship name="$ship_list" multiple="true" space="$Cluster/Sector/Zone" />

<find_ship name="$ship_list" multiple="true" space="$Cluster/Sector/Zone">
<match owner="faction.player" negate="true" />
</find_ship>

to be more precise then <destroy_object /> or <start_script /> on the ships

[UniTrader]

@Phipsz
thanks, you're right ^^"

@Exavier
for Scripting/MD i prefer to use Xml Copy Editor over NPP because it has autocompletion based on xsds - with that you always can look up whats possible at the current point and pic out what you need (dont forget to check the sub-Nodes ^^⁾

[Exavier724]

Thanks. I will play around with both of those tonight and give it a try.

[white_avatar]

Hi I would like to request for a mod, to alpahebtize or arranger properties owned such as station and ships, its hard to look for a specific station when I have 40 plus stations. thanks

[ZaphodBeeblebrox]

Is this even possible.

I want to be able to play darts with crew members in the back of the Skunk.

By the way where is the bar? So that I can have a pint and a packet of crisps while I'm throwing darts.

[Lander1979]

I am looking for anyone who might be interested in helping to make a Multiple Player-Flyable Ships Mod. Any and all input welcome.
