[SW3] [MOD] - The SW3.Expansion Mod - 0.5.3G

[nocalora29]

Thanks for the hint, im going to look into it

And I don't really plan to stop the development of this mod until im Finished, the main thing im working on right now is basically the Path-finding for the CPU-Players, I have found a way to do that, but that would require me to write 120x120 paths from systems to systems, since I will never write that amount of code by hand I am currently writing a additional program with VB.NET to automatically index all systems in Star wolves and using an algorithm to create lua code which represent table's with the shortest way to a possible system

like so:
{"_AI_IN_THIS_SYSTEM", "AI_NEEDS_TO_GO_TO_THIS_SYSTEM", {"Shortest way from Neighbor of THIS_SYSTEM to AI_TARGET_SYSTEM"}};

Im struggling to do that tbh, but I won't give up!.

-----------------------------------------------
Also, I tweaked the "Repair" function at the maintance stations, so you won't immediatley have 100% HP, instead you will have to wait a certain amount of time until your HP Completely recharges, increments are at 10% of total Hull HP each 0.1s

BUT like with all of my "Plugins" it is completely customizable, see the "InitTeamScript" Section.

I named it ASRS:

You could in theory allready use this, only be sure to load it by any system.lst and Place Replace this COMPLETE Function in scripts\dockstation.script

function DialogR_fin0()

end;

with

function DialogR_fin0()
-- > @Plugins\ASRS.lua
	_ASRS_RepairMS_Init();
end;

-InitTeamScript-

	SetQuestLabel("__ASRS@Config_RepairDelay", 			0.1);			-- ASRS Plugin - Repair Rate (Seconds)

Just paste the above code ANYWHERE in the InitTeamScript file
If anyone feels like it, feel free to install it and tell me how it feels like.

-System.lst- Section
IF you use Expansion Mod: use the plugins\system.lst and write it in there, also place the file you created with the code at top of this post and you're good to go.
IF you use the vanilla game: use the scripts\system.lst and write in in there also, watch out that you place the file where you have pointed at it in the system.lst

=This works for a vanilla game and a modded game=

Quick update. the file was approved. I deleted it so as not to confuse people.

[nocalora29]

A Quick Status Update of 0.6.2X.

-CPU PLAYERS:
I think I have found an "acceptable" path-finding system for the CPU Players for the galaxy map, it certainly isn't anything close to "Intelligent" or "Smart" but it will do for a preview version.

The general behavior of AI's are done mostly (Behavior if not colliding with other AI's or the player), but I still need to write the Combat, Neutral and Friendly In-Map AI, so the AI has something to do when you're in the same system as the AI, depending on the Current Relation.

The economical Behavior of the AI's are also OK for the moment, they will upgrade their fleet depending on their Current Credits status, and on their current Location (They cannot trade on systems with no Trade Station), but they still can upgrade their fleets on "Random" Circumstances, Because I have added a small Random Event system for these AI's, like for example: "AI Found hidden stash depot. And because of that, their Fleet-Strength rises up.

But thats enough about the AI's.

-ASRS:
The "A Simple Repairstation Script" is also pretty much completely finished (Fixed a bug here and there), so it wouldn't be that wise to use the source code from my other Post anymore.

-Elite Templars:
--New Subfaction:
There is now a new Sub-subfaction for the Templars, besides the known Elite Templars and Holy Paladins, there is also now a group called "Magister's Inquisitors" MaqInq for short. These are the actual Top-Of-The-Line Pilots of the "Magister", they also execute Assasinations by the "Magister"'s Orders.
Basically: You didn't like to fight the Paladins at all?, then you like to fight the Inquisitors even less!.
--Modified 3D Models of existing Ships:
Some would say its a pretty lazy doing of mine, but I think the changes look badass! .





1.st Pic: Elite Templar Level
2.nd Pic: Holy Paladin Level
3.rd Pic: Magister's Inqusitor Level

....and yes, thats a Precursor Portal, and also yes, these spheres are the "unknown" portals found throughout the game, although they don't give these ships the ability teleport freely around time and space, they look pretty nice and sexy on these ships. I have also set them to Rotate around the ship.

Heres a Video of MaqInq Ship: http://bit.ly/2cxBdRU [Shortened because the Auto-YT Embedder will break this post]

If any of you remaining people on this Forum still have any Questions regarding this Mod, or modding of this game in general: Feel free to ask any Questions that come up your Mind!.

[nocalora29]

Hmpf, apparently the "direct" links of ModDB will get terminated after some days/weeks... I had to replace them with just links going to the DL-Page.

[EmileKhadaji]

Hy!

Dowloaded your mod a few days ago. (just replaying the game because of your mod)

So far everything was fine. But found 2 bugs!?

First: Went "NESF" storyline, after you talk to Alexandra in Gideon. You are to leave the portal to Solpugae. So went to portal. It fired up normally. Then nothing happened. No load to new sector. (Lion mk2)
Solved it with starjump.

Second: After delivered the data to Aurora placid docks. You get the "Free time" objective. Now that stays. After 20 jumps no new mission is being added.
So im stuck.

Also some observation. There are no random contacts. The space is just in its basic state. Do I need to put the files from addons to main installation?

PS: AK-47 cannon description is just HILARIOUS!

[nocalora29]

Hey, Thanks for playtesting my mod

First: Went "NESF" storyline, after you talk to Alexandra in Gideon. You are to leave the portal to Solpugae. So went to portal. It fired up normally. Then nothing happened. No load to new sector. (Lion mk2)
Solved it with starjump.

Second: After delivered the data to Aurora placid docks. You get the "Free time" objective. Now that stays. After 20 jumps no new mission is being added.
So im stuck.

Could you try to recreate those bugs? (Going back to an older save and playing to the part until the bug occurs and then EXIITNG the game) and giving me the LOGfile.txt via attaching it in your next post or some filesharing site?, and please do the same with the 2nd bug.

Without a LOG there isn't much I can do ^^, all the important data is in there and it will help me greatly if I got the logfile.txt

Also some observation. There are no random contacts. The space is just in its basic state.

That is very strange indeed... I really need the LOGfile for this also.

PS: AK-47 cannon description is just HILARIOUS!

Glad it made you laugh

Thank you very much for this bugreport!

PS: The LOGfile.txt is in your main Game directory, where the sw3cw.exe is located.

[EmileKhadaji]

And logfile size exceds the forum limit....

This is saved after the portal:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9stj48rezz...Gfile.txt?dl=0

And this one after the delivery:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9stj48rezz...Gfile.txt?dl=0

Keep up the good work!

[nocalora29]

Thanks!, I try my best holding this mod in shape.

After some inspection, it seems that both the bugs you're experiencing are related to the same Issue, something in the bank-script broke seemingly, I can only guess why.

Please apply the (2) latest new hotfixes (both upped today) and replay one last time to the parts where you had these bugs (You must load a save file before you entered the System where the bug occured, thats very important.)

Hotfixes: http://www.moddb.com/mods/sw3exp/downloads

And IF the bugs still occur, send the logfile again.

[EmileKhadaji]

Okay, done what you asked. And still no joy.
Both bugs are present.

Should I make a new clean install? Maybe somewhere something got messed up?

[ScriptSystem] error: attempt to perform arithmetic on local `bank' (a nil value)
<string "DATA/Addons/@SW3_Expansion/sw3_expansion_ma...": line 127>

It seems the game just can't fix it by itself this time, I fear you might have to start a new game, but I will keep searching for anything out of the ordinary in the files.

Im sorry, this is not the first time a game has been broken by that, I have applied extremely many fixes to that script by now, and still, someday it will still break by itself, even though this fix should really do it this time around.

But!, would you kindly post me a save-file (a save where you are several systems away from the problematic system), maybe Im able to track down the problem that way.
