Star Wolves 3: Script Extender
I've made a script extender for the game and I thought I'd create a thread here for the people still semi active on this forum.
About Star Wolves 3: Script Extender (SW3:SE) is a "script extender" that aims to improve the modding capabilities of the game Star Wolves 3: Civil War. It currently has a number of new API extensions and unique features, including optional safety & performance improvements to the game. The project is completely non-profit and not monetized in any way shape or form. Features SW3SE currently adds the ability to...
Aside from that it...
Explanation SW3SE works by using suspended process DLL INJECTION, where the payload dll sets up a HOOK that will get executed by the main game thread to execute the rest of the payload. In a sense we are guaranteeing that the main game / main game thread executes our new code that has been inserted inside the hooked functions. The function which executes our hooks has been designed to be "eng_startup_ex" at #0x00655090. For a detailed preview of the complete routine, here is a simplified illustration:
Examples SW3SE includes a LUA-based interface to the underlying calls to the engine to make it more simple for use. They are included in the CORE mod Data/Mods/SW3SE. It is not recommended to modify it unless you know what you're doing. But it may serve as a weak compilation of examples. Aside from that, there is an ExampleMod included in the project that changes shield texture and shield impact sounds for the "Mothership" carcass, in addition to changing the rocket launching sounds from the SRM2 missile to a more unique one. Code-only example In this example, we want to implement a continuous raycasting system where we print out all the modules of a ship to the game screen log. In a vanilla environment, this would not be possible. Hence, we have to resort to using the new API. Code:
function TryPrintModules() local tShip = GetEntityAtMouse(); -- Get the ship the player is currently hovering over local tId = tShip["id"]; -- Get the field "id" of the GetEntityAtMouse return table {id, xsdtype, carcasstype} local tMods = ModuleManager:GetModulesOfShip(tId); -- Get all modules of the ship (By its id) using the ModuleManager lua interface for _, elem in tMods do local tMod = NewManagedModuleByID(elem); -- Create a new managed module to keep track of it easier tMod:LoadBase(); -- Load the base information (see the file for other properties) OutputToScreenLog("Module = "..tMod.infoBase["ShortName"], 6); -- Output the short name of the module. end; end; Code:
function TryPrintModules() local tShip = GetEntityAtMouse(); -- Get the ship the player is currently hovering over local tId = tShip["id"]; -- Get the field "id" of the GetEntityAtMouse return table {id, xsdtype, carcasstype} local tMods = ModuleManager:GetModulesOfShip(tId); -- Get all modules of the ship (By its id) using the ModuleManager lua interface for _, elem in tMods do local tMod = NewManagedModuleByID(elem); -- Create a new managed module to keep track of it easier tMod:LoadBase(); -- Load the base information (see the file for other properties) tMod:SetModuleShortName("#My_Custom_ShortName"); -- Set the new shortname string key for this particular ship instance tMod:LoadBase(); -- Reload the base information (This will get the updated information from the modified runtime values) OutputToScreenLog("Module = "..tMod.infoBase["ShortName"], 6); -- Output the short name of the module. end; end; Yes it does. Final Info Project Link: https://gitlab.com/Rawra/sw3se/-/tre...ref_type=heads (The CoreCLR branch is the most up to date and free of bugs) For all further information on how to create mods and other critical information, please see the project page. Its going to be alot easier maintaining one location instead of some ancient forum's thread. |
