TobiWahn,

Nice! Can't wait to see it in-game. I'm wandering through the tickets. I redid the ability and buff entity files you indicated had problems so they should upload properly in the next commit. Once you tell me they have all cleared and we haven't introduced any minidump issues there are a lot of tickets I'll start closing. That should clear out a lot of underbrush and make it easier to see the real issues and work still to be done.

I still have some EA tech to clean up and the starbases all need work but I'll prioritize titan abilities.

TobiWahn,

Sent you another commit. The Centaury colonization doesn't work, it is still a work in progress.

ZombieRus5,

If I recall the BSG mod has you hand in it, would you mind sharing how you worked the colonization ability creating planetary defense modules? I'm toying with it, I know it can be done, but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if it can be helped.

I would imagine he made a buff which spawned those structures and in the colonization ability file referenced said buff in the afterColonizeBuffType line.

Lavo_2,

Thanks, the issue is how many buffs to string together what I want...

 

TobiWahn,

Where in the DB are the following defined:

AbilityALevel

AbilityBLevel

AbilityCLevel

AbilityDLevel

AbilityELevel

They are referable but I can't find where the actual files are to know what is being referred.

They reference the abilities 0-4

AbilityALevel = Ability0
...
AbilityELevel = Ability4

 

As for stringing the buffs together, use a periodic action to control the number of spawned structures

Hi,

 

can anyone tell me why sins insists that OnlyWhenAttackTargetIsInFiringSolution is no longer a valid enum?

Thanks

OnlyWhenAttackTargetIsInFiringSolution is valid, or should be.

I get

Failed to convert 'OnlyWhenAttackTargetIsInFiringSolution' to an enum value.

Hmmm.

If all else fails use: OnlyWhenManyTargetsInRange and set target count to 2.

Latest DB: Factions, Woot! Planets, yeah but it will take a time to populate..... so much to do and so little time in which to do it.

I won't dabble in the factions till the titans are done, but I really, really want to...

Open question on titan upgrades: do the values in the upgrade need to reflect the upgrade desired for that level or the total value with the upgrade included?

Example: Current Hull 8k, desired upgrade 600 hull. Should the value listed for that titan upgrade level be 600 or 8600?

 

Edit: Looking at the Rebellion files it appears Titan abilities are grouped like a starbase but upgrade like a ship. So to answer my own question above the titan upgrade would be 600 but "MaxHullPoints" would need to be listed in every additional upgrade level in the same file. This would be so much easier if modding didn't have a constant learning curve... Forward ho!

I think if the base is 8k Maxhull, and you have 2 Upgrade Stages with a desired total of 9200 Maxhull (600 per Upgrade Stage), the first upgrade stage needs 600, while the second needs 1200 (me thinks)

Yes, exactly. I've tweeked Naroon, completed Victory and Adira, working on the Ka'Bin'Tak. I'll commit then and start on the Elder race titans.

All,

Is there a big difference for an ability levelSourcType: Intrinsic vs TitanUpgradeLevel? I haven't observed were Intrinsic doesn't work but is TitanUpgradeLevel preferable for AI behavior or some other reason?

TitanUpgradeLevel is the only way for abilities to work on Titans as the Titans' upgrade system is the same as the star base's.

Lavo_2,

Thanks, I was afraid of that.... well better to find out now while I'm still working the drafts than after when the clean up is much more difficult.

 

TobiWahn,

I will need to rework the jumpengine abilities for the titans, as well as some others like the Narn energy mine. Grrr, the commit I was going to send you tomorrow will be at least a week after the New Year.
