Unconventional Warfare

I'm working on a new extension and, while it's not nearly done it's ready for peer review. It's called Unconventional Warfare. The basic idea is to add a bunch of "jury-rigged" weapons that are very rare and slightly more powerful than regular weapons of similar level but have major drawbacks - they...

INJECTION

We were talking about this in the IRC and I realized the Transcendence modding community would get a kick out of it so I figured I'd post it here. I'm working on a game called INJECTION. It's a programming puzzle game; you have an ANSI-art game world that you have to navigate by directly interacting...

Re: Use two ammo with one shot?

It's a double-barrel missile launcher. It's supposed to use two units of the same kind of ammo. This: <OnFireWeapon> (block Nil (unconventionalWeaponOnFire 20000) (objRemoveItem gSource (objGetProperty gSource 'selectedMissile) 1) ;We only remove one 'cos we already removed one as part of being fire...

Re: need help with helper functions ?

My lisp is incredibly rusty, so this might have errors, but here's a better way: (setq schilround (lambda (x) (block (modresult roundresult) (setq modresult (modulo x 1) ;Change this 1 to any other power of 10 to round to that, i.e. 0.1 rounds to 1 decimal place (setq roundresult (sub x modresult)) ...

Use two ammo with one shot?

Long story short, I need my weapon, which takes multiple types of ammo, to fire two shots at once while consuming two units of ammo at once. How do I go about this?

Re: Auto-UNID

That'd be a hackish workaround, but it'll work, yeah.

The error message means that, for god knows what reason, Python doesn't see the environment variable that defines your home directory. It's really unpredictable for whatever reason.

Re: Auto-UNID

Just now corrected an issue with a left-in debugging line in the script version that causes problems on Linux. The bug is still present in the EXE version, but the bug won't happen on Windows (well, Windows 7 or less anyway), so not really a problem. :P Although I'd really like to see what happens i...

Re: Auto-UNID

Just updated! Now it stores the information it needs to automatically build base IDs after you use it once with a defined base ID. I originally planned to follow digdug's suggestion, but decided not to. Still only supports 255 unids per file. It does not support modules yet; that'll be for next time...

Re: Auto-UNID

will ask you for the first six digits of your extension's UNIDs this is cool, but, as discussed, limited. What if I could actually pass an entire UNID with 8 digits and that will be used at the first number ? This would resolve for people with large mods (256+ UNIDs) and at the same time, you can r...

Re: Auto-UNID

Sounds handy. Does this script honor the categories? 0x D MMM T III (...) T Type ID. Within a module, the division of the namespace is undefined. Transcendence uses this value to represent the type of object assigned an UNID: 0 star system description 1 sovereigns 2 station types 3 ship classes 4 i...
