You also cannot add/remove ship systems, to the best of my knowledge.

well can you explain how the removal of the damaged stasis pod?Icehawk78 wrote:You also cannot add/remove ship systems, to the best of my knowledge.

should just be able to add the race in normally, and any event that doesnt give a specific crew type will have a chance for it (and then you can just follow the format for the engi from the donor pony event if you want to specifically have it in an event... easy stuff)Hikori wrote:Hmm, i'm curious if the adding weapons method will be usable to add new races into the game... probably not, but i do want to attempt to add a few new races if possible.

It appears to be hardcoded. Nothing in the event files indicates removal of anything. (Also, when I said "systems" I meant things like "shields/stealth/etc" not augments. But it still doesn't appear to be possible with the current system to remove anything other than scrap/fuel/missiles/drone parts.)buzzyrecky wrote:well can you explain how the removal of the damaged stasis pod?
As mentioned by another person, this also doesn't appear possible. I attempted to do this, and the crew received/assigned is simply replaced with a human (and the associated event check will thus fail).buzzyrecky wrote:should just be able to add the race in normally, and any event that doesnt give a specific crew type will have a chance for it (and then you can just follow the format for the engi from the donor pony event if you want to specifically have it in an event... easy stuff)
String reference in the binary at 0x006A52EB into the RAM on load: "STATUS_POD". (Augments are all referenced in the string table like this.) It's used at 0x000755F5, where it's used to check if the ship has the augment, and it's subsequently removed before a crystal crew member is offered. (For those who've done the quest, this all sounds a bit familiar ...)Icehawk78 wrote:It appears to be hardcoded.

Code: Select all
<event>
<text>text goes here</text>
<augment name="STASIS_POD"/>
<autoReward level="LOW">scrap_only</autoReward>
</event>
To be entirely honest, I haven't looked too closely at the ASM, I had a quick scan for the strange value and poke about with the closest function calls (entirely corrupting my profile, yay). All I can tell you is that the function I tried last night removes augments, but I got the string comparison call backwards... When I nopped the call it stopped removing *other* things. So it looks like the pod's string is pulled from the table to stop removal ... the mystery deepens =\ (But agreed, weird it's not looking for an event!)Icehawk78 wrote:The augment removal is specifically looking for having a status_pod, and not looking for the firing of the specific event? Weird.
