Questions here: an inquiry thread! [Updated Sep 15th, 2014]

Here's a small question...

What makes ion damage do double damage to Zoltan shields?
I've created a few weapons with ion damage but some do only a normal amount...

Here's the latest example :

Code: Select all

<weaponBlueprint name="REPAIR_EFFECTOR">
	<type>BOMB</type>
	<tip>tip_effector_repair</tip>
	<title>Repair Effector</title>
	<short>Repair Eff.</short>
	<flavorType>Remote system repair</flavorType>
	<locked>1</locked>
	<desc>A tool capable of remotely repairing system damage with the side effect of also doing ion damage. Making it useful for offense and defense.</desc>
	<tooltip>Deals 2 ion damage whilst also repairing 2 system damage.</tooltip>
	<damage>0</damage>
	<sysDamage>-2</sysDamage>
	<ion>2</ion>
	<missiles>0</missiles>
	<shots>1</shots>
	<sp>0</sp>
	<fireChance>0</fireChance>
	<breachChance>0</breachChance>

	<hitShieldSounds>
		<sound>ionHit1</sound>
		<sound>ionHit2</sound>
		<sound>ionHit3</sound>
	</hitShieldSounds>
	<missSounds>
		<sound>silence</sound>
	</missSounds>
	<weaponArt>ba_effector_10_new</weaponArt>
</weaponBlueprint>

And it only does 2 damage to Zoltan shields. Is it because it has 5 shield piercing and doesn't require a missile?
I mean Ion blasts deal double and so does the ion bomb. So this is kind of odd... Does it need to be added to the list of ion weapons?

Guys, help please.

Where I can find list of all default projectiles in the game ?
Which can be usable by BURST(like Flak) weapons. Now I know only debris_large, debris_medium, debris_small
Do you now ID names of missile, laser ?

I wanna make weapon, which will shoot instant 3 laser projectile or 3 missile, like this make in Flak.

can anyone help ?

P.S. Thank yu Rad

The ion is doing 4 damage to Zoltan shields, but the sysDamage is negating 2 of it, leaving you with the 2 that you see.
The ion weapons list is for blue options in events. Since Effectors are on it, you should probably add it.

So I have been adding on to the mod I showed before. It works, except when I use the Stealth Ship its options either do not do anything, or warp me immediately to the crystal sector. Here is more code:

I would also like to know the 'rules' for this, like what's up with these backwards </events> that are instead <event/> and that sort of thing.

[Biohazard063]

The ion is doing 4 damage to Zoltan shields, but the sysDamage is negating 2 of it, leaving you with the 2 that you see.
The ion weapons list is for blue options in events. Since Effectors are on it, you should probably add it.

Really? And read that as an uttering of surprise rather than disbelief. That is odd...
Well, it already has a custom blue option for the one event in AE where you can use an ion weapon.
I don't don't immediately recall events from CE. So I'm thinking I'm good when it comes to adding it to the ion weapons autoBlueprints list.

[RAD-82]

I would also like to know the 'rules' for this, like what's up with these backwards </events> that are instead <event/> and that sort of thing.

When you make a choice, it has to have an event in it. You use <event/> when you just want the choice to end the encounter without any effects and is only needed when there are other choices available.

It works, except when I use the Stealth Ship its options either do not do anything, or warp me immediately to the crystal sector.

Here is the event that your stealth ship options is supposed to load:

Code: Select all

<eventList name="WORMHOLE_COLLECTION">
   <event>
     <text>As you are waiting, your scanners pick something up. Get ready to grab it!</text>
     <event load="WORMHOLE_GRAB_ITEM"/>
   </event>
   <event>
     <text>After a while with nothing showing up, you decide you may want to leave before the fleet catches up.</text>
     <event load="WORMHOLE_GRAB_ITEM_LEAVE"/>
   </event>
   <event>
     <text>You are passively scanniong for objects, when a cluster of them show up. You try to grab some scrap from the cloud, but some hit your sensors. By the time they're repaired, the wormhole is gone.</text>
     <choice>
       <text>Grab some scrap and leave the area.</text>
       <autoReward level="HIGH">scrap_only</autoReward>
       <modifyPursuit amount="1"/>
       <event/>
     </choice>
     <choice>
       <text>Search for another wormhole.</text>
       <event load="WORMHOLE_SEARCH"/>
       <event/>
     </choice>
   </event>
</eventList>

The first two possible events in this eventList have the same error. You are putting events inside events, but forgot the choices that lead to those events. An event can't just load another event without a choice.

The third possible event has problems in the choices. In the first choice, you placed the autoReward and modifyPursuit, but those have to go inside an event. You need to replace that <event/> with an actual event that includes the autoReward and modifyPursuit. In the second choice, you included two events, so the second one will overwrite the first one, which will just cause the event to end.

Here is this eventList corrected: (assuming I don't make another mistake or typo)

Code: Select all

<eventList name="WORMHOLE_COLLECTION">
	<event>
		<text>As you are waiting, your scanners pick something up. Get ready to grab it!</text>

			</event>
		</choice>
		<choice hidden="true">
			<text>Search for another wormhole.</text>
			<event load="WORMHOLE_SEARCH"/>
		</choice>
	</event>
</eventList>

You still have more mistakes to find, but hopefully you learned something about events and choices here to help you find them.

Another thing I noticed near the end, you have the event looping on itself. You can't do that, because the game won't reuse an event that it already used in that current chain of events. I don't know the specifics of it, but I edited out what I previously said here because I was sleepy and theorizing, so I may have said some incorrect things.

I copy pasted all the events with numbers after them so they do not loop, but they are still not showing up. No errors are showing up in the error checker, it's just that the events related to the stealth ship never appear. Is there some sort of list that gives the format for what events should be like?

How do you add thruster effects to the engines when they are powered up? And how to make them stop when the engines are destroyed or powered off?

[Chrono Vortex]

Those effects are reserved for the Kestrel and the Federation cruiser. You could edit thrusters_on and thrusters_on_img under effects, but the engines on whatever ship you want to use engine effects on would have to be spaced the same distance from each other as they are on the Kestrel or the Federation cruiser (depending on the ship you want to overwrite), and the engine effect images would need to be the same size and have the same amount of frames (as far as I can tell those values are hard coded). I'm not sure what causes a ship to actually use those effects though, maybe the name in the blueprints?
